Yeah, the title says it all really, how do I overclock it, because 2.66 Ghz just is too slow 🙁

Thanks!!!!

Nope, it isn't simple, because as I am aware on this forum you atleast try to explain your answer?

Thanks for future detailed answers

Completely fair point.

I just can't be bothered to go into the massive amount of detail required to explain it for that processor.

My recommendation is find a guide or wait for a hero to swoop down from the sky.

But is it not possible, or can you slightly OC it?

In simple terms, Xeon processors are not designed to be overclocked. They are designed to be used as servers in 24/7 operation, where energy efficiency (ie, cost to run) is very important. Since overclocking generally increases power consumption much more than performance and reduces lifespan, overclocking is not supported in Xeon CPU's.

Happy OP? This still isn't PRECISELY why, you must get the drift though?

Upgrade the mobo and cpu to something by Intel with a "K" behind the name to have fun with overclocking.
