[SOLVED] im planning for x58/x79 build.. i need some assistance..

[yuriekatz13]

dear brothers and sisters.. i need your help..

as title says.. im planning to go for x58/x79..
i scrap the idea of Ryzen 2600 build.. coz.. i dunno why..

for x58 - x5675
for x79 - e5 1650 (i cant find cheap 1680)

1.. can these run on an air cooler like Hyper 212 Evo or Gammaxx400?
2.. is Seasonic s2ii 520w or 620w are good for this?
3.. is server RAM is a must? or a regular can do?
4.. if the CPU only support 1333 but can OC to higher one.. should i go for 1866 or higher ram?
5.. if you have suggestion or alternatives.. feel free to post it..

i found something on my 2nd hand market..
CPU - Intel i7-4820K
Mobo - Alienware Aurora R4 X79 micro-atx motherboard w/ IO shield
SSD - Seagate WarpDrive 400GB PCIE SSD (4x100GB)
price - 10000 PHP(around 185 USD) [54:1]

questions:
1.. is this worth it?
2.. is the CPU good enough?
3.. is the mobo can handle OC?
4.. if the mobo is good.. can it handle 1650/1680?
5.. this mobo is dual-channel.. is that bad? since a chinese board (huanan) is quad-channel..
6.. how to use that SSD.. hmm..
huge thnx if you help me out with these..

PS:after im done with first build.. im planning to build 6 more afterwards.. with same specs..

X58 can still hold it's own as a budget gamer. 3 channel RAM and 6 core 12 thread XEON support makes it possible. Unlocked CPUs, and unlocked motherboards allow 4GHz+ performance. Dell T3500 workstations can be had cheap and get you in the game.
"Server RAM" usually means RDIMMS and only the XEONs support it, and it's only "necessary" on 2 CPU motherboards which don't have X58 chipsets.
For X58 UDIMM DDR3 1333 is all that's needed.Server RAM usually fails on X58 and people who claim success usually don't know how or why it worked.
There are many different versions of RDIMMs. I know of several experienced users trying to figure this out. No real answer yet.
IDK about X79. Just go to userbenchmark.com and see what kind of performance those systems are providing.
