This $200 18 Core XEON CPU goes FAST (Part 2)

UNLOCKING the e5-2699 v3 18 core Xeon is something that ADDS so much VALUE. from a mediocre 2.6GHz all the way up to 3.46GHz on all cores. Though the journey wasn't entirely easy! I had to use USB Flashback

Blast from the past, back in 2015 when I first discovered this hack it was fun. The chip to get however is the 2696V3, this was a OEM chip released around a year after the 2699V3. That has a turbo of 3.8, with an undervolt and BCLK oc you can be boosting to 4.0 during games. Another great chip is a QS version of the 2695V3, that one was quirky that it came with a 3.5 turbo as opposed to the 3.3 turbo. But would boost to 3.6. I think there are a lot of chips like this you just have to track them down.

Digging the shoutout for Miyconst, his videos are what sent me down this rabbit hole once upon a time.

I'll never build something as exotic as this machine, but lots of fun watching you do it. Congrats on making the case work with these parts.

I remember once I bought a PC with amd athlon ii x3 CPU that thing was a triple core CPU but you could unlock a 4 core in bios and hope for the best. Love when you can do these kind of things to tech.

I always recommend the v3's over the v4's because of the forced turbo boost. It's really awesome, or should i say, really popaloppin'

I took a break from YouTube for such a long time and Jesus your channel exploded. So glad to see you doing so well, very well deserved!!

Would love to see this build with a more modern gpu like a RTX 3060TI/RTX3070/RTX3080 VS B450 + Ryzen 5600x because this build are very similar in term of price and is brand new.

Watch out folks, there's a jerker lurkin'

I've been subscribed to Miyconst for over a year now, and this is exactly how I found his channel back then :) Unfortunately I couldn't get the 2678 V3 unlocked on my X99-E board either. I think I had the same problem as you... I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, so I'm excited to give it another go now! I'm glad I didn't end up selling the 2678 V3 again...

I miss building pc's and messing with xeon's! Maybe things with get back to normal soon! Thanks Brian!

Staring at Bryan's dusty monitor at around the 6 minute mark, made me think that my own monitor was that dusty for a minute.

Awesome af build, especially for that price! My rig cost me a lot more in dec 2022 & some parts up into feb 2023: e5 2698 v3 64GB ecc reg memory & a gtx 1080 Ti. IM LOVING IT!

really like the old school case.
great build.
cheers for sharing

I have a 12 core xeon 2009 mac pro with a vega 64. Built it before the pandemic for less than 1k. Its a perfectly capable workstation. Keeps up with todays hardware.

Nice C&C outro music! Sure brings me back to the good old days of gaming. Much props Biran!

[butterdoggin]

Going to build with the same cpu soon - just ordered the parts I am hype

[boothmann]

That case really takes me back. I had bought a cheaper version in the early 2000s without the temp sensor. Actually sold it to a buddy of mine who still has it to this day lol. Got it from xoxide pc. Love the content!

[arizonarangerwiththebigiro]

Was just able to score a 2696v3 for $130, one of the best buys Ive ever gotten, only behind my $75 1060 3gb back in 2017

[AngeloftheNight]

Fantastic review!! Part 1 and 2 was well done!

[emancesooh]

I did this with the dual socket system about 4 years ago. Had two E5-2686v3's. IIRC you can bypass the issue by making sure that the end one has either the same size or hash as the original or maybe it's getting it signed correctly. But anyway there's definitely a way to do it. Super cool video!
