Just a little project I did over the holidays.
Ideal for gamers who don't want to spend too much.

This motherboard and Xeon CPU are amazing !
Not supposed to be able to overclock Xeon's but with this boards BIOS and quality you can tweak many settings.
No multiplier overclocking option, so it's a lot more work getting the right settings.

So this humble Xeon is running at 4.20Ghz on all 4 cores all the time. 12 hour Prime 95 torture tests
don't budge this CPU off 4.20Ghz . Temps max out in the low 60's in the most demanding Prime 95 test.
It's rock solid and stable.
I've tweaked many settings and so I suggest you don't mess up all my many hours spent getting it just right :)
Settings have been saved in a BIOS profile though.
I have run it at 4.40Ghz but was not worth the extra time and effort for such a little gain.
So performance is much like a stock Core i5 7600K. A bit higher as the core speeds are always at their max
no matter how many cores are used.

Note system is on a test rig so not built in the chassis yet, but will be doing that soon.

Really cool! Reminds me of a Xeon build I did a while ago but did not get the amazing OC you got! GLWS!
Thanks . Actually I've dialed it back a bit .
4.40Ghz was not too hard and higher clocks are achievable but because the overclock is done with the BCLK and not the multiplier
it throws the memory timings out , so wanted to run the ram at it's exact 2800Mhz speed.
So this overclock works the best with the other components.

There are videos all over YouTube of how good xeons are for gaming. I'm currently running a Xeon myself and I couldn't be happier. GLWS
 
Bump - Free 500Gb Hard Drive included
Best cards for this setup are one of the GTX1060's or that stunning GTX 1070 EVGA SC2 Gaming card if your budget allows.
 
Bump. Excuse the crappy quality pics. Just to give you an idea of the bundle.
So will match the Black /Red theme of the case very well.

Bump . GTX 1080 option removed.
Can change SSD and/or HDD options if you want
 
Bump - This will kick some Ryzen ass in gaming.
What ?! . What did you say ? . You think I'm talking bullshit ? Come bro lets go outside !

Take this as you wish but my Xeon has a Ryzen 5 2600 covered in gaming ;)

Bump . A powerful , complete PC at an affordable price . Just add card and game on.
 
Hi.if you decide to sell the mobo and cpu separately let me know.I reside in cape town as Well and could collect.cheers
 
Bump . Keeping this as a unit . However you can request different case, power supply and storage options.
All three I have on special so that's why they are included .
Also the case works great with the black / red theme.

Note you will get an invoice as well for this system.

Seriously though, I would love to see how it performs on benches atleast :)
Also glws, black/red is every edgelords theme before rgb came along

Bump . Is going in the case this weekend and completing the build.
if you want a Hello Kiity pink case, let me know now !
 
Bump. This really is a decent deal.
Full PC with many new parts and decent warranties.

Add a GPU. Either one of my offers or your own and you have a very powerful gaming PC.
That GTX 1070 Ti is only 3 month old.
As I've always said since I was a young whipper snapper and sold my phrase to Nike " Just Do It ".
 
Bump . Free courier to major centres
MSI GTX 1070 Ti Duke option might be off the table. Using possibly in another build.
 
Bump . MSI GTX 1070 Ti Duke still an option. Other client went for RTX 2070
