Yea you can overclock no problem. Overclocking doesn't cause your power draw to go up from for example 300W to 550W. Maybe a few watts extra

Depends on how much you overclock. Did you test it on a watt meter ? I have a 2 cpu system so your results will be different, but going from Full load Stock: 385W to OC 620W is a big difference. Thats 60% more power use For 35% better cpu performace

You had a 235W increase just by overclocking your 2 CPU's ?!?

 

That said, those xeon cpu's are nowhere near being comparable to consumer grade cpu's

You most probably not looked at the watt meter or haven't overclocked a cpu to very high speed. Skylake overclock from this site:
