[Reboot] How to Overclock Intel Xeon x5680 (x5690) on ASUS P6T Deluxe v1
Hi guys, first post
Well - I've been thinking about overclocking my good old x5680 for quite a while now. It has served me well over the years and I hope it will keep on doing so in the future.
I don't want to break anything and to me stability is more important than speed. But I do like speed!!! Like it a lot - Just don't want to kill anything. I have a water cooler installed, so I know I can push the CPU a bit harder that the standard 3.3GHz.
The thing is, that I don't know where/how to begin - And that's where you guys come in.
Specs:
Intel xeon x5680
ASUS P6T Deluxe v1
24GB Kingston KVR13N9S8H/4
Seasonic SS-860XP^2 PSU
Water cooler
Hope you can help me!
[Final edit]
Here are my "final" BIOS settings.
CPU Ratio Setting (Multiplier): x21
BCLK Frequency: 210
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1263MHz (normal 1333MHz)
UCLK Frequency: 2526MHz (x2 DRAM)
CPU Voltage (vcore): 1.38125V
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.80V
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage: 1.27500V
[Ultra final edit] - After I started this thread my username has been changed from "Dead_Donkey" to "MuHcOw".
Also I have added more RAM (48GB in total) to my old P6T motherboard, but that's another story.

[The even more final edit] - The above overclock have been working without any issues at all for a very long time!! - But now I have gotten hold of two Xeon x5690 CPUs... ...And I just HAVE to try them out.
So I'm "rebooting" this thread - Hope that's OKAY !!
I made a spreadsheet to help locate "sweet spots"... Maybe you can put it to good use if you have a CPU/MB that resembles mine. Please see attachment.
