Yes, I can handle it. OverClock at Intel Xeon X5650
Hello everyone! I'm from Argentina, just joined the site, and recently got an Intel Xeon x5650 with an MSI X58M motherboard. I'm curious about overclocking to boost performance. Do you have a guide on voltages and BIOS settings I should follow? I really need your help. My name is Diego, but feel free to call me Go Diego! Thanks a lot.
That's a fairly popular chip for overclocking but it's a very complex subject for several reasons. The memory controller is on the CPU, and it supports 3 channel memory.
To overclock that CPU you will need to raise the BCLK. This will affect the RAM timings, QPI link and they will all need to be overclocked and overvolted also.
Here is a thread devoted to that platform. It's over 1000 pages long i'm afraid but they do know the answers to your question.

A much simpler approach is to use one of the unlocked CPUs that are available for that platform.
