WHY X58 Mobos...? & A PARTS MESS AWAITS THEE...!

I loved the Spawn movie at the time, and the nostalgia factor still makes me watch it again every now and then.

I've got to say I really enjoy these second hand hardware videos. Just wanted to say thanks for creating them!

[@OzHuski]

Cheers for the idea. My old x58 EVGA Classified is still going strong and didn't want to get rid of it. I'll grab one of those Xeons and upgrade it for my youngest. Looked at the higher end i7's but none of them offered good enough performance for the price.

[@davidmcbenge9370]

I had a Turtle Beach set of headphones which after 3 months just fell apart right where the screws attach to the cans. I am still using my Z68 MSI motherboard with an i5-3570k, it still keeps up with even the newer AAA games. I started with a GTX 660 2gb and switched to a GTX 770 4gb for a better performance boost. I just turn it down to normal during the summer and then overclock to 4.2 during the winter. My last Asrock motherboard lasted me about 10 years with buying a capacitor kit and replacing 3 bulged ones. Keep up the great vids and enjoy.

[@mypeeps1965]

Your content is the most fun I've seen on you tube in a very long time! I look forward to future videos and keep up the great work, Also I look forward to becoming future patreon in the next week or so? and thank you for not producing "same O, same O garbage tech videos as everyone else. I really hope that you succeed....

[@techyescity]

Thanks man, always love reading comments like these. I was watching a bit of my content back with a good friend of mine in Japan and we both agreed I was having way more fun when I wasn't following a reviewers guideline.

[@cryptopsycho4838]

@tech yes city, Yep you have your identity and dont be like the other tech youtuber that do all the same thing..... you are in the used pc parts and people like you for that. keep it up.

Your personality comes out more when you aren't doing the same review format as every other techtuber. Thats what people want to see.

All of these parts remind me of when I first started building my first PC. Not too long ago since I am fairly young, but it was good to see all of these awesome Intel chipsets again!

[@TheRailroad99]

THE GOOD OLD ACER MONITOR!!! Remember it in your first setup :)

[@DXBuenaBrian]

A big yes! Not a hardcore and overclocker here. Mine is Gigabyte x58a ud5 paired with i7 980x Extreme. I just recently upgraded its GPU from GTS 450 to GTX 1060 and its main drive to Western Digital SSD 500Gb. It's running Windows 10 Pro without any drivers issue. And now she performs sexier than ever!

[@MikVision]

Vmodas are actually known for being extremely durable the frame bends but always pops back into place

[@JarrodsTech]

Haha did you get any weird questions at the border with all that? x58 is definitely still relevant :) I'm running it now with an x5650, but looking to upgrade to threadripper!

[@jordanlewis3790]

why x58 motherboards? simple, x5600 series xeons are the shit!!! infact i have an asus p6x58d-e too and it overclocks like a champ!

[@davidjohnson8122]

jordan lewis NONE of the newer Xeons overclock like these x58 Xeons can!!!

[@skywalker2837]

David Johnson maybe because eversince after westmere, all Xeons are locked?

[@evertchin]

I just recently upgraded i7 930 with x5660. now it is clocked at 4.2GHz, easy.

[@davidjohnson8122]

Sky Walker For that reason alone these westmere Xeons are superior!!!

[@dsmooveagle18]

[@khanscombe619]

@ 6:26 Brilliant. I had a pair of Galaxy GTX-680's 4Gb in SLI on my X58 moving into then new X79. The pair of 480's I replaced was a mini heater, was bleedin boiling. lol

[@Najvalsa]

Still using an i7 950 on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev 2. Thank you for the heads up about the Xeons, for some reason it didn't come to my mind to use them, and now I've gotten one because way cheaper upgrade.

[@junelsvtecturbo777]

pacific case that flys thru the specific oceans are the best cases IMO

[@righteousone8454]

what people don't know is FSP Group actually makes certain brand name psus. Near flagship models. Like EVGA PQ 1000w is made by FSP Group. That's what I have in my system.

[@benhoward3049]

A very Pacific case, which flew over the specific ocean. We noticed

[@the-more-yuno]

I'd like to correct 4:15 The ring bus, while introduced with Nehalem/Westmere, didn't make it into the consumer/server versions, but just the -EX versions which used LGA 1567. It got added with Sandy Bridge, hence the parity of dual-channel SB/IVB with triple-channel Westmere-EP in terms of memory bandwidth and SB and later's complete dominance over Nehalem/Westmere-EP in terms of cache performance. The 1366 versions used dedicated paths for each core to the shared L3 cache; not very scalable, and not as fast since they ran at the Uncore speed as opposed to the core speed. Because of Westmere's addtional cores, latency increased per clock over Nehalem and Intel also made the conscious decision to lower the Uncore's minimum RAM:Uncore ratio to 1.5:1 as oppsed to Nehalem's 2:1 requirement in the face of higher memory speeds like DDR3-2000. www.anandtech.com/show/3922/intels-sandy-bridge-architecture-exposed/4 from Anandtech's Sandy Bridge coverage explains it briefly.

[@WrenFJ]

Those Power Man PSUs are great they were made by InWin. I've run overclocked systems on the 300W and 410W models without any issues at all. If you can get them cheap (mine were all free) they are very solid power supplies.

What the heck... I've been trying to get a cheap X58 mobo for like a year. Online I can only find them at about 125-150. Good on you for getting a heap of them at 70 a pop.

[@KnurdMonkey]

STOP with this X58 mobos... i wanna cry bad... I cannot find any lower than 150€ in Italy, and I want a X5670 so bad! I see also that as mee you like x58 a lot... could you please consider of doing a video reviewing one of those X58 chinese mobos avaiable on Aliexpress/Alibaba. There are also some x79 mobos that seems to have some overclocking features enabled. (I saw some russian review but... i cannot speak russian...) Anyway it could be a great value for us if you could be able to get one and review them. Maybe also, given that your channel has so many views, you could get one for free/testing. Hope you will take this in consideration. Best regards, Dan.

[@Lokir_Fink]

Non è del tutto vero, su ebay qualche buona offerta l'ho trovata... Io fortunatamente ho una p6x58d-e da quando è uscita ed ho appena acquistato un x5675 (a sostituzione del mio i7 930) che arriverà da aliexpress per 24 euro circa, però nel cercare sia su ebay che sull'italianissimo subito.it (ci ho appena comprato altre ram proprio per questa build) delle belle cose si trovano.

[@LucaBertuolo]

@@Lokir_Fink Ciao, sono nella tua stessa identica situazione, ho un i7 930 con una GTX 295 e appena ho un po' di soldi da spendere (non gioco a giochi tripla A su PC quindi non è urgente) pensavo di prendere una RTX580 8GB e aggiornare il processore a uno Xeon da AliExpress 6core/12thread. Tu come ti sei trovato? Che RAM consigli? Ah, e che dissipatore usi? Io adesso ho quello stock del 930 ma mi fa 50-60 gradi idle sul desktop e appena inizi a usarlo va subito a 85-90, che non è proprio ideale.

[@snoitseuqpi1119]

I still have My Asus P8Z68-v LE motherboard with an I5 2400, 1600 Ballistic Ram.. I just upgraded to Ryzen 1700/3.9, Tiachi, And God what a difference I'm loving Life.. But I'm planning to thro a Hard drive and GPU back in my old Intel set up and get it back up and Running.. It's going to take some Time because I work for a cable company, and we get paid next to nothing and every time I want to buy something of value I have to save.. It was the same with my New Ryzen system.. I started saving 6 months before it even came out.. Anyway love what your doing with the used stuff and showing people what they can get on the cheap...

[@twizz420]

About the power issue thing your friend had in Japan... I'm actually surprised at how picky some computers can be just with cables. When I got my newest PC I tried to plug in my old power cable to the PSU but it wouldn't even boot. It would start the fans and lights, but never try to boot. I changed the cable, and bam - worked. I can't figure out what the difference is, they have the same ratings.

[@djc2874]

first six minutes of the video shows how much this man knows about "irrelevant" motherboard and cpu architecture. id never be able to even know to look that stuff up , props to brian!

[@sburns015]

I recently got a Gigabyte UD3R x58 for $97 and an Asus Ramgage Formula 3 for $142. I love these motherboards.

[@imnota]

Fsp power supplies are bulletproof af, my rig is supposedly taking like 600W, and I have a 400W fsp power supply, my cpu is oc, and it's been running fine for like 4 months. And it has been running like a year on my past cpu and mobo combo which supposedly took like 500+W So I guess the 400W marking is an understatement.

[@jacksylvester4763]

X58 gets so much love

[@aoelp]

Nice, I also got myself an MSI X58 Pro-E bundle for 124€~$138 and sold the 950 on there for 20€-2.65€ fees and ordered an X5660 for 23.20€~$25.90. So I got myself the mobo, CPU and included 6x 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz for 129.85€~$145 which is good value if you ask me. Would have gotten it even cheaper if the exchange rates would be better at AliExpress. Also sold the X5650 I ordered alongside for a few Euros more than I paid for it. The important thing is to keep the mobos alive, CPUs are plenty available and very cheap, so no problem if one dies.

[@nighelnijhuis8620]

Yea i bougth my setup at my mom a while back from 125 euro. It included the following: i7 950 Asus rampage iii extreme 3x 2gb 1600mhz all the parts for watercooling (wich i put into my home build.) And i run all of that with a gtx 970 all fine! x58 is still a great platform!

[@aoelp]

That is also decent since the Rampage III Extreme is usually way over 100€ all by itself and also it can unlock two more multis which makes it a great pair with X5650/60, since those are like 2/3 the price of the X5670 and all above are only worth if the board does not support overclocking or multi unlocking since 200x23 or 209x22 already equals about 4.6 GHz which very little chips exceed comfortably.

[@nighelnijhuis8620]

Well i paid 25 euro for the x5670 wich on ali express is 35/38 euro so i think thats a good deal. The only thing i don't like about my build here is the case its sitting in a Antec darkfleet 85 (i had a diffrent case for it but the noctua nh-d14 didnt fit in it.

[@aoelp]

That is of corse an amazing deal, but unnecessary for all boards with multi unlock feature because even at 200 a 22+2 multi would equal 4.8 GHz which most chips don't achieve under 1.6V unless you're lucky.

[@nighelnijhuis8620]

Am prob gonna be happy with a 4ghz overclock, the 5670 had a 1 day shipping time and if i would buy another chip at ali express i would have had to wait for almost a month for the same money

[@detmer87]

I'm still running a Intel DX58SO motherboard with a Xeon X5675 @ 4.6GHz and a GTX 1070. Great performance.

[@ZeroG84]

Big plus in my book for the xeon processors... Well let's just say that Intel didn't make any backdoors to their enterprise level hardware and compromise their whole lineup of products, in the form of a second bios on the i3-5-7 chips with a remote boot in.

[@SvDKILLSWITCH]

My first proper gaming PC was built with a Core i5-750 and a GTX 670 on a Gigabyte P55 motherboard with 4 gigs of RAM. Great little combo back in 2012, and probably more than capable of playing games today if you don't mind reducing some settings and overclocking the i5 up from the 2.66 GHz base speed (and those i5's did indeed overclock really well). The i5 is now in my dad's PC, and the GTX 670 finds some use in a slightly more modern i7-3770 rig. Nice pickups with those X58 boards though, funny to think we've had good Intel six-core processors for nearly 10 years and yet it took us until now for AMD to give us some good eight-core chips because Intel wouldn't dare mess with their carefully made market segmentation strategy... Also, it's pronounced more like "shao-me" ;)

[@opoxious1592]

I have the ASUS P6T SE with the i7 990x running at 5.0 Ghz. Officially this board supports up to a max of 24GB of RAM. But this motherboard actually can even support 48GB of RAM.

(Edit: yeah the voltage is standard at 100v Japan still uses both 50hz and 60hz mains electric systems with 50hz(originally European sourced) in the North and 60hz(us sourced originally) in the south divided at Tokyo ) Can forget that Japan uses 240v power in the north and 120v in the South, right after WWII the us developed a military bases in Okinawa And they helped create the infrastructure in the southern half of Japan, while in the north the UK suppled most of the parts hence the 240v, fun fact the two power types are actually connected so if a few plants go down they can pull power from the other side

[@techyescity]

Really? Never knew that! Damn

[@jaykoerner]

Tech YES City surprised a local didn't know that?

[@jaykoerner]

Tech YES City but anyhow did you give him a normal power supply? Anything that isn't oem made for a specific market should either have a 120/240 selector and most own supply's have auto voltage detection

[@jaykoerner]

Tech YES City sorry that's slight miss information, i believe it use to be a 100v(120v)/240v split shortly after WWII but at some point they adopted 100v standard across-the-board, but they kept the 50hz/60hz frequency used by the two systems

[@jaykoerner]

Hi Brian, I was in Melbourne for one day in January, but I was with my cuz and her relatives overnight before a holiday with family who live in N.Z. I would have loved to have met up with you, but such is life. I'm a Scot who lives in Manchester, England. After watching your shows for quite a while, I invested in a second-hand rig. Asrock Extreme 3 X58 mobo. 12 Gb a data ddr3 ram 750 watt A Data PSU SSD boot drive 2 HDD Bios Version 2.8 A decent graphics for casual gaming. In the last few days, it started playing up, win 10 updates, BSOD, occasional crash blah blah. I took it apart and gave it some of Jimmy's TLC, AND HEY PRESTO, ITS NOW F%$&*!. The SATA ports (3.0 Gb), no longer show my hard drives, the SATA 3 ports. (6Gb) are fine, I have them running my SSD boot drive, and optical drive. Don't worry, I didn't wash it! just a hoover out, stripped down the PSU to get the crap out. A wipe down with alcohol. Any hints, ideas? Do you have a decent X58 I can buy? Its very difficult to source them in the UK, apart from some dodgy-looking things from Korea, or China, for which I have no idea of their pedigree. I seem to remember that you did a show recommending an X58 offering from our old pals at Ali Express. Any comment from you would be great, as I am stumped at present. p.s. Running a Zeon 5680 on this. Cheers, Jimmy . . . .Buyee :-)

I think I must have lost a few numbers on the silicon lottery as my x5670 can't break a 1000 in Cinebench R15 at 4.5ghz. I'm still getting a great boost over the i5-4460 I was using but that four digit score still eludes me.

[@robertbrackett6892]

Back when I had my x58 board and did some research on it I found some people were able to get more than 24GB recognized on board by the Xeons. It'd be really interesting if those boards supported (at least ran) the cheap ECC DDR3 from ebay. If you had some lying around it'd be interesting to see a build with that and a 1080ti comparing to modern builds.

I would love to go to JP and find a nice X79 board for my 3930k for a price that isn't ridiculous. US used prices are nuts!

They must be so used to people grabbing tech from Japan in customs, Spawn was cool, sick soundtrack too

All you gotta do is sticky tape the headphones and it will be all good

I found a ASUS p6x58d Premium, pretty much the same board as the p6x58d-e, some guy was throwing it out with an i7 950 in it, in Straya down under

My PS VITA can be used as a NVidia Shield equivalent, you can try to find out how cuz I can't remember.

I do agree that the x58, with even a Core i7, is relevant today still. I am still using my i7-920 and it is playing perfectly fine at 1080p and provides good performance for my work. But, the PC bug has finally hit me again and time to upgrade. Good news is that the X58 boards are going for around $150, so I can recoup some of my money fairly easy. Question: I am better buying an inexpensive case and putting the X58, the 920, 12GB RAM, an older AMD video card, with a spinning drive into a case and selling it as a working PC? If I do this, I would need to invest in the case and a copy of Windows, but thinking it might be worth while to do to sell a working machine to someone needing a decent PC. I'm assuming this is why you buy these boards is to build complete machines and sell them, right?
