Xeon 1230v2 skt 1155 Processor

Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:01 am

I just finished yanking out a Core i5 3570 from an Asrock Z77 Extreme-4 M and dropping in a Xeon 1230v2 in it's place. I was already on the latest BIOS. The computer started right back up without a single complaint and I now show 8 logical processors. The 1230v2 is just 200 MHz shy of i5 3770 clockspeeds but is nearly $100 less.

This CPU is something to know about for those who don't care about overclocking but do want a more widely threaded CPU. It also uses slightly less power that the i5 3550, probably because the iGPU is either fused off or isn't even on the silicon.

Are you using Windows? Did it whine about reactivation? ( ̄エ ̄)ゞ

Glad you like your new CPU! That sub-4Ghz clock rate is just too low for us gamer nerds, tho. Ψ(`▽´)Ψ

Been using a Xeon 1240v2 since the end of last year, sill get a temperature reading for iGPU
It would take you 2,363 continuous hours or 98 days,11 hours, and 35 minutes of gameplay to complete your Steam library.
In this time you could travel to Venus one time.

Oh, yeah, I was going to explain this:

It's just fused off, or it may even be simply disabled in microcode or something. It's definitely still there tho.

Windows (8) didn't say a thing to me cuz it knows I'm a hair's breadth from going back to Windows 7 anyway :x :lol:

The 1230 V2 is every bit the monster I had hoped for when it comes to rendering. A 3 hour rendering on my X4 955 at home takes 20 minutes on the 1230 at work. And for that reason, I'm just about to leave for the office :( so I can run some renderings.

I just checked the Intel website to compare the E3-1230 and the Core i7-2600 (a fair comparison since both are based on Sandy Bridge). Apart from the slightly lower base clock and slightly lower TDP, it looks like a good CPU for the money. Note that the E3-1230 doesn't have the IGP enabled, as some noted here, and this takes with it all the features that come with the IGP, one of them being QuickSync.

3.2GHz vs. 3.4GHz is a no-brainer, and the absence of an IGP may be a non-issue if you're gonna put in a discrete card anyway. And of course there's QuickSync. If you don't care one bit about it either, then the E3-1230 looks like a sweet deal.
NEC V20 > AMD Am386DX-40 > AMD Am486DX2-66 > Intel Pentium-200 > Cyrix 6x86MX-PR233 > AMD K6-2/450 > AMD Athlon 800 > Intel Pentium 4 2.8C > AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 > AMD Phenom II X3 720 > AMD FX-8350 > RYZEN?

Yep I don't care about Quciksync much. I'd be able to use it every great once in a while, but I don't do much messing with video. Just a lot (comparatively) of architectural rendering. FX 8350 would be fantastic for the rendering, but it's not very good with the actual in-application performance (single threaded), which is what I'm doing on the computer 80% of my day.

Not to mention its TDP is roughly double of that 1230v2.

Hey flip,
Does it allow the turbo multiplier to be raised to at least 3700 on every core? Also can i was wondering if you can up the block up from 100mhz to 103mhz since that will give you over 100 more mhz and a tiny bit more mem bandwidth.

I pulled this from the overclock.net forum

I assume it would work on the E3 series chips since it works on the non-K consumer chips.

Please let me/us know what you can do with turbo/block.....thanks.
If you can get every core to run at 4.0ghz would make that awesome deal of a CPU even awesomer:)

I have not got that to work when Windows 8 is the remote computer. Windows 8 crashed the last time I tried to remote into work. I'm here at work now, anyway. :shrug:

No, it works just fine with standard DDR 3. If you want ECC memory, it will work with that too, but you have to get a motherboard with the C204 (I think - could be C206 or something) chipset.

So, get this: I came into work and made some changes to the render scene and it's been running for 3h 15m now and it's probably got an hour left. So about 10 minutes ago I had made more changes to the underlying scene and posted it to Autodesk 360 Render cloud. Aaaand it's done!

Autodesk 360 Render is amazing. We've thrown some /insanely complex/ render scenes up to the cloud and they finish in about 20 minutes. And the render quality is higher than the highest possible settings from within Revit itself.

That's the kind of stuff I think cloud processing is really suited for! Offline renders are a perfect application of remote server farms, because latency is irrelevant. ヘ(・_|

Well, here's a bummer: The renders I got back from the cloud for one of the scenes have unexplainable artifacts. The same scene rendered on the computer, which finally finished in 4h 20m, does not have those. Guess the Xeon is going to pull an all-nighter.

It seems that if you want go for the ECC route with the Xeon 1230. You will have to settle for a Supermicro or Tyan Socket 1155 board, since they appear to be only motherboard manufacturers that have them.
Gigabyte X670 AORUS-ELITE AX, Raphael 7950X, 2x16GiB of G.Skill TRIDENT DDR5-5600, Sapphire RX 6900XT, Seasonic GX-850 and Fractal Define 7 (W)
Ivy Bridge 3570K, 2x4GiB of G.Skill RIPSAW DDR3-1600, Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Corsair CX-750M V2, and PC-7B

ASUS also has a C206 workstation board. I'm sure Gigabyte has one too.

For next time try hitting up one of the VNC's. Remote desktop is probably more successful with accelerated viewports but if you run your CAD package with software viewports you shouldn't have any issues.
I've been pretty happy with TightVNC, having moved away from RealVNC and UltraVNC. Alternatively the web-based stuff like logmein or TeamViewer do pretty good jobs, assuming they are allowed on your work network.

Well, I'm a little disappointed. I have a really high quality rendering scene that I ran on the 1230 and also on an i5 3570. Both CPUs are running stock. The hyperthreaded Xeon finished the scene in 13.25 hours. The i5 3570 finished the scene in 15.5 hours. That's not a good showing being put on by hyperthreading. :-? An overclocked i5 3570K would easily be able to best the Xeon 1230.

That comparison was run with both CPUs at stock settings, which seems prudent for comparison's sake.

I would at least disable core parking on the Xeon to make sure you aren't having problems there. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌ That said, your workload might just not be very hyper-thread-able. If it's not a good mix of integer and FP work, then HT just won't help much.
Of course, you probably knew that already.
