Overclocking an 771cpu on 775 platform

P4Clock · 6 Jan 2019 at 19:21

i have just picked up a 775 board and some ocx reaperx because you know... 775 is boarderlind classic stuff now hahaha

any way i was going to put a core2quad cu in it but i do have a box full of 771 xeon's, when you mod a 771 cpu to run on a 775 board can you overclock them the same and is there any memory speed problems?

i know this is old as stuff but i want to play, any old guys out there able to help me it would be super

that is super i have a x5460 if i could get high 3's that would be super, i dont think the board i picked up will push 4ghz.
just wanted to be 100% i wouldn't have any problem OC'ing it

My first overclock was sk1156, but I had a few 775 setups just did even know overclock was a thing back them.

I have picked up a cheap P35-DS3L, it as no vrm cooling but all googling says the board is good to rock. And for £15 I don't mind killing it.

I got icebucket water cooling loop so want to see what I can get a cpu upto

I may look for cheap p5k board too
