Hi,
I have 2x 3.4GHz Xeon Irwindales running on stock coolers
and was just wondering whether anyone has had any experience overclocking these and what a safe and sensible overclock would be
i would consider getting some high preformance coolers for an amazing overlock
The rest of my spec is below!
Thanks
Dave! :bowdown:
People don't normally (ever?) overclock xeons...for 2 reasons.
1) The CPUs and motherboards are pricey and not too common
2) The motherboards for them do not normally come with overclocking options
On that board, it can be done :)

Or just ebay them and get a Core2Duo :)
A core 2 is on the cards!
but ive got to sell everything to buy it!
the only thing i would be able to keep is the HDD + case n optical drives
DDR ram need DDR2
AGP graphics need PCI-E
New motherboard
ive got my eye on the E6700
but tempted to wait for G80 cards to come out with DX10 b4 upgrade
and then theres Quad core to consider! *sigh* so many desicions!
keep what you got and wait imo, dont rush into buying the core duo, i would wait for the quad for sure
