so I recently finished doing a ultimate 1440p build and some of my viewers got me really excited in the comments particularly one when he mentioned an ex 5650 and I was like what was this CPU so I started researching it more and I found that it's pretty much the best bang for buck CPU you can get at the moment it's a 32 nanometer six core twelve threaded CPU that's going from anywhere from sixty to a hundred dollars and the best thing is it's overclockable so I thought I'd turn this video into a vlog sort of what parts I've got and sort of like a precursor to an upcoming video where I'm going to build two workstations four hundred five hundred dollars used anyway let's get on with it recently my boss found out about my youtube channel and he's kind of he was impressed he was like man I want you to do some of the stuff that you're doing on your YouTube channel for me at work and I was like okay cool no problems however all the computers at work they've got all the Japanese proprietary software installed and you know they've got the ad the IT guy he kinda doesn't like me even though my boss loves me so he's like nah man you can't install your programs on our computer so I was kind of like well I'll just build my own workstation and I don't have to answer to anyone so I decided to do that and since I found this fractal to fine I forth like $20 it was just at some random second-hand store in the middle of nowhere I never thought I'd find it enthusiastic bro there when I saw it for 20 bucks I instantly grabbed it cleaned it up and then that power splay there that's $10 as well so I'm just going to go through all the bargains I've got here today and what I'm going to do with all these parts but pretty much I've got all this stuff here for like under 500 bucks and I'm going to put two workstations together so what we've got here is a GTX 285 that's this came with this whole case and everything here so everything you see in this frame here was like a hundred and I think $80 delivered so I got like three gigabytes of ddr3 memory which will go on the off rig I got an i7 920 which I'm probably going to sell and I got this GTX 285 which I'm probably going to sell and then I got a 650 watt power supply - which has 40 amps on the 12 volt rail and then I got here an x58 SLI platinum so this is the key ingredient you need to get an X 58 if you want to get the six core 12 threaded beast going you have to get a motherboard that supports it and there's not all not all the x58 motherboard support the CPU so you got to pick one carefully and so this was the one that I found it'll do probably up to 4.2 gigs if I'm lucky so I got all this for a hundred one hundred and eighty dollars I think posted so motherboard we even got he's even got a DVD drive there and a hard drive and the best thing is this case has also got one of these these are so convenient if you're doing video work you've got the memory card reader as well so it's got that as well even though the case looks like junk so this case and all the both parts will be gone to my wife since she wants a computer but she never uses a computer so I figured I'll build a one for like a hundred bucks anyway these are the parts that are going to go in my workstation this is the Xeon I'm sorry that's the Xeon w 35:20 now that's a really cheap CPU I got that for ten dollars and it's going to replace the i7 920 even though it's the same thing so I can sell the i7 924 more winning and then we've got here the X 5650 it's still packaged up but this is a six core 12 threaded B so this is going to be going in this motherboard this motherboard is beginning going to go in this case and this power supply is going to go in this case too because it's power supplies a little bit weaker so anyway we've got the 650 Ti boost this is going to be the workstation card I mean it's got 2 gigabytes of vram which is pretty good this is the reason why I picked it it's also got shadowplay as well which is pretty important especially for me I like I should you not I've been using shadow place so much for a lot of the content I've been making instead of taking screenshots I just hit the key bang bring it into Premiere Pro good to go so that saves me so much time as well as taking all these temperatures and all these schools and stuff like that really good so something with shadow play was pretty crucial I picked it off for $70 so 650 Ti boosts which is pretty much like a 750 Ti you can even sli these things that's pretty cool as well so $70 let's move on to this you probably wonder what this bad boy is I got this for $5 it was junk had no fans on it so I'm going to basically zip tie off to fans I think I've got them down here I'm going to zip tie off to fans here and put them on this CPU cooler and then put it on the x58 SLI Platinum so this cooler it means chunky it's good Ailes surprised to pick that off so cheap this here is a x58 board it's a tea power from Biostar I think now the problem with this board is it doesn't support the six core 12 threads Aeons I don't think from what I was researching but I'm going to update the boss and give it a try anyway I've got the W 50 35 20 which is going to go in here anyway if that doesn't work but this port actually looks pretty damn cool like I gotta say the gold sort of black Styles not like not too bad for an old-school x58 motherboard which I'm kind of surprised like this actually looks pretty cool I don't wonder what these guys aren't making motherboards anymore I thought this board kind of looks cool maybe the BIOS or maybe the support was pretty crap who knows I never used a biased on motherboard in my life so this is going to be first anyway that's the motherboard there so that's about it I mean I've got to get some more memory I've got this drive as well as a 750 gigabyte 5400 rpm drive so that'll be going in the off rig since it's pretty slow and it's pretty junky came out of a brick the laptop so but I've got the hard drive out and it's got like it's in these enclosed kind of cases I've really got no idea what the person was thinking with this like this is just you pity I mean you're suffocating your hard drive yeah sure you've got some sound deadening going on but I mean look at this like I'm surprised these drives made it through a summer if they did so that's crazy so anyway that's like this hard drive encasement here that sort of I don't know what it's designed to do kill the hard drive or something so hopefully the drive still works hopefully you get something out of this bad boy let's hit the power button first time fingers crossed everything's hooked up now fans of spin can we get a signal can we get a signal come on me a signal give me a signal baby oh yes we got a signal success okay we're going to try and restart this and hook up a keyboard mouse and here's the final test so we're going to test this other power supply we're to test this we're using the same memory from the other rig because I know it works and we just got a that's right as The Naked CPU just sitting on the top of the CPU just for testing anyway I've got the GTX 285 year got the motherboard so we're going to fire it up and I mean I already fired it up but interestingly enough it didn't work with memory in the first bank so that was really weird so this it's posting fine and I mean we've got a screen so I guess the first triple lane channel there is not working because I mean it says on the motherboard a one is the lighter beige color so that's pretty weird anyway I have to look into that a little bit more bit regardless even with only three banks I'm still happy because I've paid next to nothing for this motherboard and the CPU so this is really cool like awesome stuff so we got the the Xeon works as well the 15 who later $13 CPU that's working and so even the hard drives working so that's everything I've tested everything now I have to test the six core 12 threaded CPU but I've got to update the BIOS on the MSI board in order to test that and update the BIOS on this board as well to see if it works ok so we've got the 12 threaded 6 core beefed in hand it's ready to go so anyway here's these Siskel er here you can brucey already from the video that there's the front half here is like silver coloured and then this is like copper colored so they're putting a coating of something on the actual copper base plate which I mean I don't really think it's a good thing I just rather just a pure copper base plate and feels like they're putting some kind of lacquer on the actual like honestly like a Lac attack on there so to make that seem like it's a mirror finish I don't know just it's weird so anyway I just lapped it and to me it it I think it'll perform better than before that's just my gut feeling um you can see here like if I scratch this and then I flip it around and I scratch the top you hear the difference like I can hear the difference anyway so it's as if they put some kind of crap all over their product that is sort of hindrance to performance I think anyway you know just I just rather have the base especially nice and raw and uncut x50 650 is confirmed and working now you're probably wondering why those temperatures are so low you probably like oh the temp sensor is actually wrong and I don't think it is because I just like 10 minutes ago I just lapped it and sprayed it down with brake cleaner and brake the brake cleaner I use has this frosting effect kind of thing on the cooler so it's like 15 degrees in here if you can see that but it's actually the CPU cooler is actually colder than the ambient temperatures which usually is not the case but in this case it is because the cooler was sprayed with brake cleaner but anyway you can see that that IOH temperature that's a lot better when I tested that last night it was like 82 83 degrees so it's running 17 degrees lower than it was before which is really good so everything looks pretty decent now so I'm going to start getting things ready whoo all right so now we're in the BIOS here I've been playing around with it for three two hours now and I've it's really good like this is an absolute blast of the past and this is kind of in ways this is how overclocking should be I'm just in the BIOS here and I've actually been playing around this is really interesting right if you want to get these CPUs up over four gigs then you have to lower your qpi from six point four to four point eight and then after that you have to give like the qpi voltage a big bump my max I mean I could get it I'd ran a Cinebench run at four point one gig on all cores but that's pretty much as max as it'll go and the diminishing returns like after one hundred and ninety megahertz on the B clock like here manages goes through the roof so even 200 I don't even know if I'm comfortable running that I'm just going to still play with it for another couple of hours and sort of fine tune everything but it is running at full gig on all caused pretty smoothly so I'm going to find out what I'm going to do so we're just going to play around with a little bit more and yeah guys so that's its I mean I'll pull up the Cinebench score for you guys as well show you so there's pretty much running faster than a four 770 K so that's really impressive for a hundred-dollar CPU so I mean if you guys want to know more but I'm still just tweaking everything I'm learning what each voltage does CPU PLL that actually affects power consumption quite a bit on this platform as well the sad thing is I never actually got to try this platform I went straight from the q9 550 straight to the Ivy Bridge so this was actually this is really fun this is a lot of fun so I can recommend you guys you guys might want to get on this and you know especially for a hundred bucks so I'll be definitely making a good upcoming second hand used computer guide for a workstation very soon because this is pretty awesome but anyway I'm still tweaking this and stuff like that but man it's a lot of fun it's a lot of fun so I'm still like finding out what every single detail does so anyway guys let's try and just get it playing some games and do some benchmarks too we've managed to get to four point one gigs though I dropped it down to four gigs to get as stable as it is stable at four gigs I still got to play around with a memory a little bit and I got to put that front 140 millimeter fan down there as you can see there is no drives in the drive bays I've actually run these wires here and sort of flipped them out the back because it's going to be my hot plug computer so that's just because like the last time I brought a computer to work the kids broke my bloody windows Password so and then like they didn't just break it they like dither a restore point and it just wrecked my whole computer and wasting so much time was like yeah I'm not doing that again so this time I'm going to carry an SSD with me and we're gonna have a problem I know I said I was going to use the hard drive was like now I got to be x100 line around wise we use it so anyway let's restart it so we're in the BIOS now so we're going to just quickly show you guys the settings that we're going to use here so run through what we ended up finishing with and let me know in the comments do you guys like these full nerdy vlogs and yes this is a Dell monitor these things are gone for like a hundred and eighty dollars - I got one for 180 bucks delivered it's IPS is 1080p and it's got some of the best input lag or lowest input lag you can get from a monitor not only that is the panel for an IPS panel is actually pretty responsive - I'll put the link for the review on the description below if you want a really good monitor anyway so let's have a look here we've got 2,200 on the base clock so I managed to just pip out I got to 205 206 max but I managed to I'm just going to keep it at 200 and see how long that goes on for but memory ratios for the Ankur Asia is nine we've got here the CPU voltage it's practically pretty low from what I'm reading I'd quickly cross-reference my results that's not too bad one point two four on the CPU called especially since I'm using a pretty random power supply on this so CPU PLL a voltage we managed to go just up to eight one point eight three that's when that got stable qpi 0.26 and and voltage actually went flat at 1.5 that was interesting because I went down to four point one point four eight because I want to drop power consumption as much as possible because I don't want to put too much stress on this power supplies yeah I don't really trust it that much but it's one point five a top down the actual timings on the RAM are really bad at the moment this is why I've got to tweak the memory so it's 2n 1111 31 like that's the max it'll go on the TRS as well so anyway that's that done and then we're moving down here and yeah the Northbridge voltage didn't need much at all like I think it was stable at one point one but I was just quickly tweaking and so when I was doing like when it was almost stable I just bumped this this and this up these were my last three results so I mean I still can fine-tune it a little bit it's just is worth the time probably not so anyway that's our save we can say that it's a number 4 now that's a 24/7 or not we haven't tested it for 24 hours yet so we don't even know if it's 24/7 but let's just jump into Windows and we will run a Cinebench live for you guys and then I'm going to go eat some dinner watch some error because there's a new episode amazing I'm gonna watch it on season 3 just hooked on it and then now I'm going to go to bed so I don't even know if I'm going to edit this video tonight but it's a vlog so it shouldn't be hard I'm just going to pop it all together this is random vlogs you just keep talking come on computer hurry up start you guys want to just sit right you're gonna want to see it from start to finish so we're going to show it let's go open i-264 let's get it cracking come on Ida I'm not do sorry just the ace of panels no I was running some input lag tests and the Dells I'm gonna give you guys this funny thing about a vlog you guys can hear some of my other testing I did this panel was the fastest panel I've got here though only through the DVI dual link port like when I ran this monitor this Delma through the VGA port it was actually slower than the a saw so I'm just curious to see if I ran the ACE because the DVI port unfortunately is dead like the DVI socket on this ace is dead and so I am like I don't know like yeah maybe the Acer is faster I don't know but yeah anyway so we're just going to run a quick we actually just changed monitors yeah just hot switch the monitors we're just running a Cinebench for you guys I want to show you how this performs but the Acer monitor is actually like it was fight it's pretty fast but the Dells slower on a VGA port or a HDMI port as opposed to this one but when I put it through the dual link port and same with the Korean monitor behind it I don't know if you could just see it behind it that's faster than the Acer as well when I put it through the dual DVI link port so I don't know what's going on there exactly but now it's dual CPU run and you guys can see this four gigs monster I should be cpuid as well but yeah I'm sure you guys trust me so it says there actually it says there four gigs so anyway you guys saw all the settings in the boss so this is it's legit like I'm actually pretty happy man like this rig all the parts I mean I did cheat a little bit but all the parts are probably like three to four hundred dollars I should go tally up the cost and I can sell some of the stuff like you saw that genius here it is here this beast GTX 285 I'm going to try and sell that for a little bit to some MacBook Pro user or something there we go 944 944 legit that's faster than like a for 770 K for like $60 CPU like are you kidding me this thing is just a workstation budget workstation person's dream I mean like I'll sing people running at FX 8350 s2 5 gig and they're only getting 800 like this thing man definitely tops the cake for value for money thanks to my viewers for recommending this CPU as in Japan I managed to pick the motherboard up as I said before like just the whole thing for just an absolute bargain so that's pretty crazy anyway so good job I'll be having a little good job to the viewers thanks you guys a lot but I'll be having another video very soon about the about this whole build like it's finished and I just got to turn it up and then I'll actually do a proper guy but this is just a video log for you guys who wanted like no no who are interested in seeing so all the behind the scene the behind the firing line scenes and stuff like that so but yeah anyway it's dinner time and I'm hungry peace out for now guys if you like this video then please give it a thumbs up if you like them flogs and let me know and I'll try and do some more while I'm testing stuff and going crazy in here so yeah not too long I mean I built it this morning and finished it all up today so it's all good when when win-win anyone going now he's over now bye
