Hi. Some time ago I became interested in the topic of xenons. I bought atermiter x79 on lga 1356, 16GB ram ddr3 ecc 2RX8 and 2420 cpu. I paid for it 40USD. I bought the 2420 only as a test processor to check if the board and ram work, because the target procesor 2470 v2 I bought on...
I have an old rig :
i5 3470
GTX 1650 Super
16gb RAM 1600
ASRock H61M-VS3 Mobo
I just upgraded my CPU to a Xeon E3-1230v2 for the 8 threads and gaming performance went down. I have a save in Cyberpunk 2077 that runs at 50fps when I load on that level/save in my old i5. Now it just runs at 28-30...
Hello. Im buying an xeon e3 1225v2 and I want to put it on AsRock, Intel H61, H61M-HVGS motherboard. I saw that mobo bios version needs to be at least 1.80 to run with that xeon but mine mobo bios version is 1.40, my problem is that I cant find a bigger version than 1.50 online..can anyone help me?
I'm choosing between xeon e3 1225v2 and an regular e3 1225, i'm buying them used and the price is 5 10 dollars apart.
My question here is how much better is the v2 version and is it worth taking over the regular one (only gaming performance)?
Thanks in advance!
