Intel Core 2 Extreme is most powerful cpu available for LGA 755

 

[The Paladin]

yes it is but not all 775 motherboard c an handle the 95W TDP. why I ask what motherboard is he using

Paladin is correct. Many have a 95W CPU limit, some chipsets can support Xeons, others can't, and then there's the locked BIOS question.
What motherboard, or OEM system?
I'm going to guess since you say it overclocks it doesn't have a locked BIOS. Some boards that OC have the 95W limit.
95W LGA775 CPUs are Q9650,Q9550, Q9550S (65W) X3370,X3380
>95W LGA775 are QX9650, QX9770 (136W, 400 fsb)
If the chipset supports xeons-
LGA771 Xeons QX9775 (unlocked dual CPU 150W 400FSB)
X5450,X5470,X5460 120W
E5450 80W

You can set the filters here to match your MB, Wattage, and chipset to find matching CPUs and prices.

I actually modified LGA Xeon, put into my HP DC7800 and it didnt
work. i think that psu was too weak.
