The revival of my Skulltrail: Nuclear missle

[Arkade]

Well everyone, My old Machine Nuclear missile finally has been brought back to life. With a New case, New CPU coolers, New powersupplies, New GPU's, and New RAM. It's about time for the overclocking to begin







So as far as parts and current Specs, it goes as follows

Intel D5400XS Motherboard

2 Intel Xeon X5450's, Currently Overclocked to 3.6ghz @ 1.33v, Max temp with Prime 95 load, 62C

2 Sticks(soon to be 4) of Kingston KTM5780/8G Sticks, 667mhz, 5-5-5-15 timming, and 1.8 volts, OC'ed to 800 mhz, same timing and voltage, Memtest86 showed stable after 1 hour(BUT VERY VERY HOT, we are talking 95C, Making a ram Cooler using a 3D printer)

Bus frequency is 400(1600Mhz FSB)

MCH... I forgot. Also forgot the FSB voltage

GPU's, now 2 GTX 570's, Running at 940Mhz @ 1.175v with aggressive fan Curve, Modified by angel with different VRM's. Memory clock 2000Mhz. Hit around 75C under max load for extended time

PSU's, 2 Corsair CX750m's


So far, I have concluded that the 2 Stick of Ram are bottle necking the test due to using only 2 of 4 Channels on the MCH. Other than that, any suggestions on boosting the power and also other tweaks, say something.

I should post in the extereme cooling section, it's gonna be -50 monday. Like perfect OC weather, just stuff my machine outside

Here's my firestrike link btw(using only 1 570 at the time, Have yet to rerun the benchmark) http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1458888

I'm still watching these myself but doubt I'd do it, nice rig though.

Always wanted to do an SR-2, probably never will though

Yeah same here, maybe.

Looks good if I plopped another L5639 in here but doubt it's worth the effort really.

I've got ton's of L5639's here. They work good in the SR-2. Trust me, if you can get a board for it, sell your current one, you'll have a blast

 

[MongGrel]

Hmm, yeah might still keep cruising around for a board for another one.

I could always plunk the 920 D0 back in this rig and use it for other things.

If the circumstances present themselves to grab a loose SR-2 I'd probably jump on it big time if it was the later version.

My primary rig uses the 920 D0 @ 4ghz. Love this cpu. It performs like my 8 physical core machine. Here's it's firestrike score

Yeah, I'd used a 920 D0 about 5 years now, I'll put it somewhere, but I like the Xeon better lately personally myself to be honest.
