Hello! Hope everyone is well. I recently purchased a Xeon E5-2697 V3 for my Dell Precision T5810. It was affordable—around $17 to $18 for a 3.1GHz model with all-core turbo boost on 14 Hyper-Threaded cores. Another reason I chose the V3 series was its ability to be turbo unlocked, letting you reach up to 3.6GHz across all cores after some BIOS tweaks.

I’m a bit new to this and wanted your help. First, I tried adjusting the throttle multipliers in ThrottleStop after a sleep/wake cycle, which lets you change those settings in Windows. But it didn’t work for me—probably because the 2697 V3 isn’t really overclockable. I found a guide that explains how to remove the 06F2 microcode from Dell’s BIOS, which should unlock turbo for all cores. Here’s the link: https://miyconst.github.io/hardware/work...t5810.html

The only issue is that there isn’t a clear step-by-step guide available. I think a flash driver like CH341A might be needed, but I’m not sure how to use it properly. I’d really appreciate a detailed walkthrough—either through software or BIOS—so I can get Turbo Unlocked on my machine. I’m okay with a 0.5GHz boost, but since it’s 14 cores, it could improve performance by 15-20% and help with game framerates.

Currently, the CPU-Z multicore score at 3.1GHz turbo is 5900, which is higher than i9 9900K or i7 10700, but lower than R7 3700X. A successful unlock could push it closer to 6700, matching or surpassing the i9 11900K at this price. I’m excited to learn how to do this properly. Thanks in advance!

I didn't watch the whole video... I'm sorry about linking it. After a short viewing, it looks like this is his first attempt at something like this. (Why would someone create such a tutorial?) Usually you'd play the clip before plugging in the USB to the PC. But after searching a bit, it seems tough to find a helpful guide until I came across this one. Yes, it's the same person who made the BIOS files for your motherboard.
