hey guys, this is my first post in the forum. recently i've bought a xeon x5470 for my p5g41t-m lx using lga771 mod to lga775 and now im trying to oc my x5470 but so far no success in that .. 🙁 actually i've overclocked the cpu by using the AI overclocking option in my mobo's bios option, which is not stable bcs the multiplier doesnt stick at 10. i've been searching the internet for information but most of them have different mobo.
so could anyone give me some advice about how to oc my xeon x5470 manually?

and sorry for bad english bcs i come from non-english speaking country.

thanks before!

G41 chipset is the worst one for overclocking, because it has a hard FSB limit at ~340MHz without some ridiculous voltages, thanks to the lack of looser timing straps that all other 40-series chipsets have.

While it only has 4-phase power, that's of little issue if the maximum possible speed is 3.4GHz or about 115w. Just set it at manual 10x and FSB 340, plus memory at 2.0:1 and perhaps bump the vCore up a little.

I found with the ASUS boards that CPU TM function must be disabled, or the multiplier would drop to 6x under load and stay there permanently until a reboot. While the temperatures never got excessive, the rate of change was enough to make the board panic.
