how to overclock asus X99-WS/IPMI and Intel Xeon E5-2695 V3 2,3 GHz

Hi,
I purchased an ASUS X99-WS/IPMI because i was interested in remote management feature.
I have a Xeon E5-2695 V3 2,3 GHz on it with a huge double fan on it.
Case is also super ventilated.

Ram is Kingston KVR21R15D8K4/32 Memoria RAM da 32 GB, 2133 MHz, DDR4, ECC Reg CL15 DIMM Kit (4x8 GB), 288-pin.

I will run very high computing software and I would like to overclock the CPU and eventually RAM (if make sense).

Honestly I never did it and apparently the Ai 3 suite of ASUS is not included in this motherboard. I tried to download it and install but it doesn't work.

I know it was an easy way to start.

What else can I do? From BIOS i have seen many configs but, as I said, despite I am quite a geek, I have never overclocked any PC.

That Xeon CPU does not overclock by the multiplier. It can only be overclocked from the base clock (BCLK)

You can lookup many guide on overclocking with your motherboard (or at least the ASUS brand motherboards) and pay attention to the BCLK sections as that's how you will be able to attain an OC on your CPU. Also look up some general threads on BCLK overclocking to become more familiar with what it entails.

The long and short of this is that you will not be able to use an App. to OC your CPU.

I looked for it on forums but it seems there is not much. Asus manual is helpless.
Do you think is there a guide out there? I couldn't find it.

You don't have to lookup your specific motherboard. Try checking some of the other ASUS x99 variants or even some of the high end ASUS Z97 variants. That will give you a good idea of what options are where in the BIOS and what they mean/do.

Then, if your questions about overclocking the BCLK are not answered with those guides you can look up overclocking that way specifically(i.e. by adjusting the BCLK) or come back to Tom's with more pointed/specific questions about that subject 😉
