overclocking e5-1620v2 retail

[Deleted member 82943]

the chip is plenty fast, but i'm [H] so of course I want to OC it. I've got a P9X79 and a coolermaster 240mm cooler in push pull. Seasonic 660xp psu - too little wattage and xmp corsair ram rated at 2400mhz that I run at 1866 for now.

I know bclk OC'ing is my only bet so i was wondering if anyone else had tried this and what results you got.

thanks

I think you'll find more than bclk overclocking if your board supports it.

The xeon 16xx series v1-3 are known to be unlocked.

Have fun

Not all E5-16xx Xeons are unlocked. The E5-1620s are generally known to be locked (unlike say the E5-1650).
