Hello!

 

I just recently put together a rather old but still functioning desktop for 1366 Socket with motherboard of MSI X58 Pro-E and Intel Xeon E5620 2,40Ghz.

From the Google and Youtube I found a lot of info that this CPU is capable to "good" overclocking and I really would like to do that, but issue is I cannot control the CPU voltages in this motherboards Bios.

Everything else is controllable, except the voltages, which are set to "Auto" and greyed out. Is there some option to check/uncheck to control them or what is this?

Mobo has the latest bios 8.F version. I tried to do some research from Google, but no success. Although I see a lot of articles where people overclock this exact CPU with this motherboard and have voltages open to control.

 

All help is much appreciated, thanks!

Yes I know, that's an option.

But why that CPU is not listed in MSI's X58 supported list? Even I can see Youtube videos people using that CPU in the same mobo?
I just dont want to get any issues if I end up ordering it. Thanks.
