I picked up the gigabyte C246 board and a E-2244G to play with the MCE option in the BIOS. From what I’ve read, usually MCE increases the all core turbo speed to the single core turbo, which in this case is 4.2GHz and 4.5GHz respectively.
Well the bad news if anyone else was hoping to get an “overclocked” Xeon is it doesn’t work from what I can tell. If you enable it in the BIOS, it just locks the CPU at a constant 4.2GHz all core clock speed and prevents the single core turbo from increasing. So it actually makes it slower.
I’m curious if it would work “correctly” on the new i3-9350KF since that is an unlocked CPU.
