Xeon W3580 overclocks.

[mexican fartbox]

I am waiting on my Xeon W3580.
I'm not seeing much on OC'ing the cpu. I know the cpu is the sever version of the i7-975
But with ECC and a higher memory bandwidth along with other server stuff.
It has an unlocked multiplier, or so I read.

Has anyone OC'd this cpu or know of any place to find OC results for the cpu.
I found one guy that got it to 5ghz on air. but that is about it. :shrug:


Once I get the system up and going I'll post my OC's.

If someone got that chip to 5GHz on air it was a heck of a feat.
