xeon processors for home or gaming pc

oklatex · Apr 7, 2016

Trying to find out if there is any practical reason to use server processors on home pcs?
I have noticed that the same socket will work with a variety of processors: LGA 775 and 1155 sockets are the two I have in mind. What would be the best "bang for the buck" on these two pcs?
Thanks,
OKLATEX

1155 is far superior to 775. Why are you looking at such old sockets?

i got a intel xeon x5460 on a gigabyte P43T-ES3G 775 , running with a ssd and 12 gb ram computer is real fast. the x5460
is close to a amd fx 6100 hexa core cpu and very cheap i bought it for 40 s from aliexpress.

don't forget xeon is 771 and you need a adaptor / mod to make them work on 775 then the xeon is not officially supported

look up things like this ?

Yea, I know. They were both systems I built myself. Both clocked to 3.6ghz

junkeymonkey · Apr 8, 2016

it is funny how 775 and skylake have in common like non server boards 775 don't give xeon bios support and then skylake has no xeon support on 100 series and then they both have spilt memory controllers 775 ddr2/3 1151 ddr3/4 like having a FLASH BACK ..LOL....

not trying to say it don't or will not work cause so many did the mod anyway and worked out fine and can make for a little project to gain some extra life from a 775 board

good luck
