[potatopLays]

im really confuse now...

[Glenwing]

Recent generation Xeons (2011+) can't overclock.  Previous Xeons could.

Linus did a video of him over clocking one

Long: Nowadays, you can increase the voltage and the clock speed will increase, but that's not really overclocking.

 

TL;DR: No, but yes

This is avery old processor on an outdated and disconitnued platform, which is 4 years old. If you want a six core you will have to go i7 5820K with the X99 chipset and DDR4 RAM, but that is quite a bit more expensive.

you can get fx-8350 or even 8320 to save some cash and overclock if you are on a budget

Well LGA1366/771 Xeons overclocked via the bus.

 

LGA2011 and on didn't. As the bus was not as flexible as it had more things 'connected' to it that struggle to run at different clocks.
