All X58 motherboards will OC, as the X is Intel's mark for the Extreme series.

 

Not all FCLGA1366 motherboards will OC, but all the X58 boards will.

Actually not all X58 board will OC. For example HP Z400 boards can't overclock even though it has a X58 chipset.

I stand corrected sort of. I would never expect an OEM board to OC, but I I still think all the Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc boards will.

Is there a list of motherboards on the x58 platform that can overclock? If not can the msi x58m board oc old i7s or perhaps xeons aswell?

From what I've heard the MSI X58 were shit for 32nm Westmeres.

 

But I don't see much sense in those these days.

X58 is already around 10 Years old and its rather likely to die because of the age.

Not necessarily. Sure it doesn't support the newest features, but you can still get some very nice performance out of it with overclocking if you get a good deal.

Just about every aftermarket(Asus, Gigabye, EVGA) X58 board will overclock.

Yes, if you already have a Motherboard.

Getting it used is a whole different story.

They suck for the x56** xeons. With the E5649 (and other E56** xeons) they work just like they should.

This was my on an MSI x58 Pro-E daily: http://valid.x86.fr/zzkjxv (I later upped that to 4.3 with 230 BCLK but never took a validation with that)

This was what I was benching at: http://valid.x86.fr/npaaqr

Yes, my other boards can run a bit higher clocks, but nothing out of the ordinary

So the E variants work better on this board? If so is the performance good for their $15 ish price tag?(when OC'ed)

Well, the E variants (best is the E5649 which should be able to reach 4.2 daily on MSI boards) work just fine. At 4.2 its about the same speed as any other 6 core x58 xeon at 4.2 GHz (maybe a little faster because you'll need 220 BCLK for that)

Alright, recommended voltage for around 4.2 ghz? And how do peoplr find a voltage that works when they oc? Is it guess work or just estimates based on intervals of increase?

I'm running 4.4 with 1.36V, but mine is really good one. In general you can figure out the voltage by experimenting. I would start at 200x19 with 1.3V and then up the BCLK slowly to 220. If it works - great. If it doesn't - increase Voltage. Other Voltages should usually work at stock or +0.1V.

As far as voltage goes...you figure out what you're comfortable running. Intel's guidelines (for X56xx and W36xx at least) are <1.4 on Vcore, <1.35 on QPI VTT.

 

I would hesitate to run higher volts above that for general use, long-term. The way I got the volts solid on mine (X5675, 4.5ghz 24/7, 1.39ish V) was I found a stable OC with good temps, which was within the intel voltage guidelines. I haven't done any tinkering to see whether I can lower the volts, because I don't use the computer often enough to really care about min/maxing the thing.

Oh and also what was your experience oc X56xx xeons on the msi x58m board?

x5650 would usually max out at ~3.8 as I've heard.

I think the average over all boards should be more like 4.2-4.4 with the x5650, a little more with the x5660 and better. On the MSI boards they are a bit bogged out though...
