multiplier secured when cpu is unlocked
multiplier secured when cpu is unlocked
you have a dell motherboard that lets you adjust the cpu multipliers but only allows lowering them, not raising. you also have the latest bios and a drive you know can be overclocked, like the exon x5660, and your i7 930 has been pushed to 4ghz by others. it’s unclear why intel xtu isn’t working for you. consider trying different settings or consulting advanced overclocking guides.
Dell and many original equipment manufacturers generally restrict overclocking, limiting adjustments to the multiplier or base clock. The usual method involves using a pencil mod. What kind of Dell motherboard do you own?

Dell and most OEMs generally don't permit overclocking with the multiplier or base clock. The usual method is to use a pencil mod. What Dell motherboard do you have? Don't remember, but it seems to be from a Dell XPS 9100.
That one is secured well. You'd likely need to adjust the BIOS settings:

I wouldn't suggest it myself, since any issues could damage the motherboard.
None of the X5600 series Xeons come with unlocked settings. A few W3500 and W3600 single CPU models are available in an unlocked state. The overclocking you see is achieved by increasing the BCLK speed on an aftermarket motherboard built for overclocking. i7-980X, i7-990X, W3680, and W3690 are the unlocked 6-core CPUs. You can find CPU scores here.
