Performance issues are severe.
You're experiencing significant gaming issues on your HP Z820 at 1440p. The system is stuck at lower speeds despite the specs suggesting higher potential. It seems the CPU isn't reaching its intended turbo frequencies, and even with attempts to overclock, progress is minimal. The GPU appears to be the main constraint, but you're concerned about wasting money on a different platform. Consider checking for firmware updates, ensuring proper cooling, and verifying BIOS settings. If the problem persists, it might be worth exploring alternative solutions or upgrading components.

Intel's Extreeme tool is only available on compatible systems, and I doubt this board and processor ever supported it.

then the latest couple of generations. If it doesn't turbo-boost you need to check in the BIOS if that feature is disabled.

That is also why Intel XTU doesn't work, there is no support for the CPU. The only XEON CPU that is supported in the current version is Intel® Xeon® W-3175X Processor (38.5M Cache, 3.10 GHz), hell it won't even work on the most older CPU then the latest couple of generations. If it doesn't turbo-boost you need to check in the BIOS if that feature is disabled.

12-02-2016, 06:03 PM #5I can't remember what chipsets it is available on but there is a hack that will allow you to run all cores at the single boost clock speed. Tech Yes City has more info on this. The issue is because your games are not using one core. Like, when they say for example one core can boost to 4ghz they mean when only one core is being used. As soon as you start using more it will go to those tables for the clocks. So basically you can't run the one core at 4ghz, then the rest as it seems to describe. There are set clock tables depending on how many cores are in use. One thing the hack will not do is raise the power limits. So you will still be limited to the TDP of the CPU.
Great GPU, the rest feels old. I think it’s not powerful enough for modern games. Upgrading the GPU wouldn’t really help much, actually. The GPU is already top-notch; you just need to improve the other parts—sorry, that’s clear, but a better overall setup is essential.

12-06-2016, 05:24 PM #10The E5-2697 V2 is performing well. It runs at a base frequency of 2.7GHz with a boost up to 3GHz across six or more cores. Today, such high speeds are mostly seen in lab settings since most modern apps and games support multiple threads. This is beneficial for dual-socket configurations because it ensures efficient use of cores. It wouldn't be ideal if your workload was single-threaded, as the additional 500MHz would be wasted. The E5-2667 V2 should reach 3.6GHz on five or more cores. Make sure Turbo Boost is active and there are no power or heat limits affecting performance.
