How high of a stable over clock can you get with a T2

[J doggy dog]

The title says it all I'll be using a xeon e3-1220

What is a T2? And how do you intend to overclock?

If you are going for a BCLK overclock, you might be able to add 100Mhz or so, more if you are lucky.

It's unfortunately very hard to predict how well any particular CPU will overclock. One Xeon E3-1220 might overclock good, and the other might not overclock much at all.

Off the assembly line, each processor, even if they're the same model, have differences that the builders cannot control. It's these differences that cause differences in a CPU's ability to overclock.


That being said, from what I have heard Xeons are generally not really known for high overclocks.

The only really way to see how well a particular CPU you own will overclock is to actually overclock it and see. However, you can always look up and see what kind of overclocks other people have gotten. It might give you an idea what you might expect, but you also might get no where near what someone else got with the same CPU or you might double what they got.

I typed in "overclocking a xeon" into google and the first several links that popped up talked about overclocking an E3-1231 V3, and another with an E3-1220, so you can use a search engine to research what other people get.

OK its sadly hard to know that much about old xeon overclocking I'm wandering what would be a stable overclock and I'm using science studios overclocking method which downgrading your bios and using base clock to get past .1mhz overclocking

Hyper T2 is a fairly low end cooler. I wouldn't expect too much out of it.

But not much point in overclocking a Xeon anyway, they don't get far. They are the same chip as their generation's i7, just the graphics didn't come through the manufacturing process or the clock speed wasn't stable at operating voltage.
