This £60 XEON Motherboard Combo is Just AWESOME

Hi Folks,

Now two things I love are Xeon's and cheap Xeon motherboard's and this under £60 combo I've put together rocks! With 10cores 20thread and 32GB of ram what's not to love.

Been using a Huananzxi dual socket x79 for years now, been working fine!

My sister really wanted to buy a computer for her son for xmas but the cheapest one she could find locally was around $500 used and it was old and junky lookinng. I built her a system using cheap xeon parts from aliexpress and a case/power supply from newegg for around $220 and it looks amazing and plays amazing! he still uses it today for fortnite/r6 seige ect.

Hard to beat the older xeons for value. The lack AVX 2 will likely be a limitation in the near future

Great job, been a Xeon fan for years now for building Gaming PC. I have 2 Lenovo ThinkStation P500 and P510 (got them for $100 each) running a Xeon E5-2697 v3 and a Xeon E5-2697A V4, both with 32GB Ram. Added a GTX1660Ti 6GB and a RTX3060 8GB and they are awesome for gaming.

Love Xeon's. Got an old HP Z440. E5 1650V3 32g 2133 k2200 Quadro. $230 Australian. I put an NVME in on an ($29) HP Turbo pci-e adaptor.

Nice Video, the X79 is a good platform for budget builds but the X99 is getting cheaper and you might find some deals, i got a Machinist X99-PR9 for $26 and paired it with the E5-2620 V3 which i got for $2 and got a small cooler for $4 with 8GB DDR4 ram for $10 all for $45 from Aliexpress + seeing the E5-2680 V2 competing with the R7 5700G is wild.

I have 4 enterprise servers with dual socket 2670v2 in 3 of them and 1 with a 2650v4. These things throw some heat but still do well to this day. I have 256 gigs of memory in each box.

[madsin]

I'm all about this 👍 Thanks m8 great video and subscribed.

[ominae]

0:00 I'm dealing with that problem too, is hard to stop LOL

[stevewhitcher]

i have a motherboard very similar as my "daily drive" for work. But more green! They can use ex server cpu's and memory that you can buy for pence so what is not good. I think the Frankenstein motherboard may use e waste chips but i've used one for the last 2 years and only changed it because it was easier to build another one to be able to swap it out. The 64gb of ddr3 in dual channel mode was £5!

intteresting build. i built a daily driver home office pc with an Aaliexpress kit e5-2650 v2 w/ddr3-1333 16gb 4x4gb ecc, kllisre x79 mobo. snoweman downdraft air cooler. built this back in oct 2021. running limux mint 20.3 cinnamon,

Ordered my first AliExpress Xeon mobo few days ago for a NAS/homelab project. It was about 150USD (shipped + customs) for server-like mobo, with 6 RAM slots, 2x2.5Gbit Intel NIC, 10 SATA ports, 2xNVMe PCI-E slots, paired with Xeon E5-2680v4 (14c/28t) with full virtualization, AVX/AVX2 support and 40 PCI-E lanes for server addons. I hope it will be stable in the long run. CPU won't be tasked much, but I plan to run few VMs and dockers, so having more cores will be nice. For gamers, there are also higher clocked Xeons with less cores.

[JAYTHEGREAT]

Got a tower with a xenon for 45 bucks, bought case, gpu. Psu, and rgb light and and nice cooler . Total build like 210 ..the gpu was 130 $ but I had to research the cheapest gaming pc build was about 600 at microcenter with no gpu .

I absolutely LOVED my e5 1650v2 Xeon and x79 board. Sadly even overclocked they are hanging with Ryzen 1600 and losing to 2600s and beyond nowadays. Used 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen CPUs paired with a B450 mobo are strong contenders in the budget space. However as you show here the old Xeons can be had for dirt cheap and are still plenty fun to mess with and depending on one's region and budget are surprising. Small budget builds have a satisfaction all their own.

[zarif]

oh my haha I just got my xeon 2667 v2 too and it is awesome lga 2011 is quite cheap, now its my main pc btw noice video as always

X99 2680 v4 combo works similar to Ryzen 5 3600. You can pair it with an RX 6600 or the highest RTX 4060 with a bit bottleneck

[CompuGlobalHMN]

I have the same problem, now my kids are on board, and they're editing videos for me since they're both in TV production class, at least until they're old enough to be on camera, they can pay me to edit videos on my piles of ebay finds. I've certainly had some fun with those Machinist boards, I wish they had some AMD platform stuff too.

[ManOfMonism]

Bought myself a Xeon 5670 for £20 2 years ago and overclocked it to 3.3 GHz on an old p5e mainboard. Best PC I ever had!

[-_-DatDude]

Is £19 including delivery a good price for a Xeon E5-2698 v3?

Need to try and get a decent but efficient graphics card now. 🤔
