This board will definitely support the 1151 Xeons, but I don't think you'll be able to OC a Xeon on it.
You can install a 6600K or 6700K and OC those, but as far as I can tell from all the press releases/advertising media I've seen, the non-Z OC is for the RAM, not the CPU.
I'm happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong though!

Fair enough. As I said, I'm happy to be corrected.
It is good to see that the 1151 Xeons are clockable. It is a BCLK OC, so the BIOS rev will be important to make sure that it doesn't get shut down by Intel via a microcode update! Especially given that the Xeons are a fair bit cheaper than the 6700K.
