Question Xeon 1650 v3 can overclock right?

[judahg460]

Howdy, so just recently got a xeon 1650 v3. Been reading everywhere that the v3 16xx xeons are overclockable so i went for it. I paired it with a GA-X99-Gaming 5p mobo, and then updated the bios to the newest once I got it. Well, when I go into the bios to change any cpu settings they arent accessible.

Oddly enough they have a bunch of presets for i7 cpus and when i use those it changes the clockspeed, but i dont trust them as i cant set voltage or anything myself

Should i try a different bios version? Or am I missing something?

Depending on what mode the BIOS is in you might not see the options. There should be a classic option, but I don't recall where the settings for these are.

Nothing should be locked out with the BIOS, but I'd suggest checking XTU in Windows to see if it can be modified there.

The processor? This says, yes, you can. Are you sure you don't have an ES labelled on your processor's IHS?
