Someone recently gave me an old Dell T5400 workstation. It has a Xeon E5450 @ 3.0 Ghz. As is to be expected from a processor this old, performance is a bit underwhelming. I was hoping to try the BSEL mod on it to attempt an overclock, but it's a bit hard to find info OC'ing a socket 771 Xeon. There's plenty of info about transplanting it to a 775 motherboard, but I was specifically looking for info on which pins to cover to force it to 1600Mhz FSB on a socket 771 mobo.
Anyone have any info on this OC'ing this old CPU?
