Socket 1366 Xeon OC Guide

I've seen a lot of folks curious about Xeons the last couple of days, I am guessing over a video by Linus (I need to check youtube). These are excellent platforms. I've had various guides about how to OC them and figured I would post some of them. Between all the videos you should have a basic idea and will be able to come up with a decent OC with the info you gain from these videos. You can easily score in the upper 900s in Cinebench with one of these Xeons, and sometimes over 1000. Paired with the right GPU its possible to get 17k+ Firestrike scores as well (with a single GPU). They are an excellent platform if you can find one used for cheap off craigslist for instance or in the case that you already have an X58 LGA 1366 motherboard and do not realize its potential.
