RIPPED-OFF on Ebay AGAIN! - Intel "Black Ops" CPU

[@skeetinvitesellerman4638]

Hi Nathorix :)

[@princexaine5340]

Utilization is due to lack of microcode for the CPU. I had the same issue with the X5470 modded into a LGA 775 socket. Microcode updated and problem went away. EDIT: The Microcode needed would need to be given to LTT by intel, as the microcode for this CPU was never actually released. For those who don't know, a BIOS file contains several microcodes for various CPUs that allow the motherboard to communicate properly with the CPU. If it's missing, the Motherboard will do it's best to utilize it, but such as this case, it doesn't know how to use 6 cores.

[@a_xylotl]

This x2, when I was in the middle of installing my E5450 into an ASUS P5Q Pro, it wouldn't even go past POST, but it was able to get into BIOS setup, and I was able to fix that problem by flashing it to a modified version of the latest BIOS using ASUS EzFlash 2 (believe it was called), which definitely confirms two things. One, that its a microcode issue. Two, each motherboard may have different effects or reactions to a CPU that is not found in the microcode for said motherboard's BIOS.

[@aswa121235]

Where did you get the right microcode for the X5470? I'm experiencing the same problem with mine, utilization is always stucks at 91%.

The Chip simply is not handled properly by the Hardware. - The Hardware you tried the Chips on is way under spec for these Everest samples, especially the power rails on desktop Hardware is spec'd for only 160W TDP. - Reading Clock and Utilization from Windows Task Manager tells you NOTHING. I suggest: -Get Engineering Hardware or if not available at least the proper server equivalent for these generation of chips. and - Contact your Buddies at Intel for proper Microcode and a list of supported Hardware. OR -Get Support at your Buddies at one of the MB Manufacturers you tried. They might have proper microcode and Bios in their archives. Cheers.

Clock speed shouldn’t be jumping around? It absolutely should. Windows power management by default sets the governor of the CPU to “on demand” which dynamically changes the CPU clock speed and voltage in order to reduce energy usage and heat. When probing and testing mystery hardware, anyone that knows what they are doing would be using Linux for it’s probing and tuning capabilities. As usual, Linus shows that he doesn’t have a clue when it comes to hardware. Why would anyone expect a non-standard non-consumer CPU that was purpose built for a modified motherboard that allows for a CPU with a higher than standard power usage to work with a standard consumer operating system such as Windows on a standard motherboard?

One application the Everest series saw actual deployment was in EVE Online. Since the server code architecture was entirely single-threaded in nature (the roots of which hail back to 2002!), increased load in a single solar system couldn't scale across cores. They used these in two different specific instances. If you had one of the game's legendary multi-thousand-pilot fleet fights break out, the server node would all to its knees. Enter Everest. If you made a request ahead of time for a specific solar system to be reinforced for a major tactical deployment, they would move the system onto the reinforced Everest node to keep the game playable, even if it was only at 10-20% real-time speed due to load. The other use was for the game's main trade hub, which regularly hosts 1500-2500 pilots at any time, conducting thousands of transactions every second. not too far off from its original intended use in trading stocks.

Please stop looking at task manager for Load and Frequency! It's buggy and reports completely wrong values in some situations! Please look at Hwinfo to see actual frequency and load values! It's a lot more accurate

After watching your video i have the same problems with my Everest engineering sample CPU. I was unaware mine was throttling too but at 90%. I have the CPU in a X79 sabertooth. Mine would default at 1.6V cpu also and would shutdown the system after a minute because it would get so hot. After getting a triple rad CPU cooler it gave me time to figure out how to get this thing stable. Setting mine manually to 1.4V made it rock solid and played games on it for months with no issues. I'm guessing it would probably be similar to yours. Now time to figure out why its throttling. This CPU is also 6 core and hyper threaded.

[@tripodal69]

The utilization is showing under 100% because the Chip is being throttled by PL1, and windows 'misreports' the utilization because the chip isn't at full speed. yourspeed/4.6ghz = task manager. its dumb.

@@jamestor6700 it's not that it puts load on the cpu, it just doesn't use speedstep or any of the power management options

[@Rapscallion2009]

True. The bios usually takes the CPU into a safe mode where power saving features are disabled, sometimes running it on a single core, max speed. So they can run warm in the BIOS. this is done so you can disable these features by entering the BIOS before boot...

@@jeffreythelad8398 Because it's unoptimized like hell. That's not the chip's fault, it's the fact it's a nonexistent product. If it actually came out anywhere then Intel would have supported it properly and you'd be able to run it competently. You can't expect things to work properly on OTS hardware if you aren't even supposed to have it. That theoretical Intel Larrabee GPU is the same story. It doesn't actually "exist" as such so you can get bare-bones functionality out of it but it'll never go beyond that without Intel willing to help you run your illegitimate hardware.

The real unicorn chip on the X79 platform is the Xeon E5-1680 V2. It's an unlocked 8-core 16-thread Ivy Bride chip and can be found on eBay for ~$175. I've bought them before and you can overclock them to 4.6GHz on water, sometimes more. The rumor is that Intel would have released an i7 counterpart to this chip if they had any competition in the HEDT space in 2013. Since there was none, we were stuck with the 6-core 12-thread i7-4960X.
