I would think so but I’m not entirely sure. XMP mode will make your RAM run at its claimed speeds—just turn it on and restart to check if the system boots properly.
Overclocking the xeon? If you’re aiming to overclock an unlocked i7, that would be a better option. You can try overclocking the xeon, but it requires using the base clock, which also affects memory speed and other factors, making stable overclocking harder than just applying a multiplier on an i7. After all this effort, you might only get a few hundred MHz. I don’t have any good guides for X99 xeon overclocking and haven’t done it myself, so I’m unsure how to help you...

Dunlop0078, here are some i7 suggestions based on your current configuration.
