ES Xeon E5 2650 V3

having som trouble overclocking my ES xeon E5 2650 V3 

like other xeon mine i can't change the multiplier but i can change the clock speed but then i do that i can only get it to 105 so a 5 % increase so to around 2,4 ghz on all core but then i type 106 it jumps to 2,8 gz and then i go to apply the oc.. boots in to windows but does not apply the 106 boost it just goes back to 100 and the i reboot again and get it to my bios and it still says 106 why is that ?

They're limited in bus speeds too so this is expected.

so their is no way to make to go further than 105

Nope. This generation of Xeon isn't meant to be overclocked. These are for multi core workloads, so if you want to game on it, just grab a 5820K and OC it.

I don't know if it applies to your specific Xeon, but there were ways to unlock multiplier on that generation by forcing an old microcode update before they locked out the functionality. This is not a small job and I never tried it. Plus you would be running very old microcode.

No, there is not.

And you're lucky.

My LGA2011 Xeon doesn't even go that far, even with just 101MHz Ref Clock, the CPU won't post.

 

 

The Problem is that the CPU is frequency locked at all possible angles. So you can't overclock.
