Xeon Overclocking

I have been wanting to overclock recently on my current rig, but I cannot find the setting to edit any of the clock speeds on my Xeon. Could it be that I have a Xeon and it locks that feature, or could it be my board?

Motherboard: ASUS P8B75-M/CSM

CPU: Intel Xeon 1230 v2

You "can" overclock a xeon but not by increasing the multiplier, its by increasing the base clock.

 

Now they aren't built for overclocking and you will be very lucky to even get an extra 100mhz out of it.

Overclock by adjusting the base clock. Default is 100MHz and can go up to 115MHz overclocked. The base clock can actually go far higher.

Although the base clock affects RAM speed and other internal clocks so when it gets unstable back of 1MHz until it is stable.

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

Exactly! you can manually clock the ram slower to keep it stable, but pci link will not go too high, Linus had a video about OCing a Xeon that way: https://youtu.be/khDsbxa5_G0?t=5m47s
