Question Can you undervolt Xeon E5 - 2xxx V1 V2 Series? No one knows??

[ROBIN0220]

Hi. I have a Chinese X79 board and am trying to find out if a normal X79 board will give me the ability to undervolt locked CPUs like the E5-2XXX series.


I know the unlocked versions, like 16XX allow voltage changes, but I'm particularly interested in the 2XXX V1 - V2 series and was thinking about buying a used ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 model from Ebay if I would be able to reduce the voltage and maybe do some BCLK and other OC later, but I'm not sure if I could undervolt these CPUs, which is my main concern, please let me know if you have had your own experiences with these, thank you.

See if Throtttlestop software supports that CPU. It has undervolted, and underclocked locked CPUs for years. The only difference an unlocked CPU made is with those you can go up also.
