Dear Tom's Hardware,
I bought the Intel Xeon 1230v3. I wanted some powerful and reliable CPU which i would use in rendering videos or just playing the newer games which i own, for example BF3. Many people told me that I must be moron, when i want overclock this CPU. Because i knew about this site as long as well, i've come here to get some experiences and help.
Can i overclock this CPU to the 4Ghz? I'm using the Gelio Transquillo rev2 as a cooling and i've got the ASRock Pro3 Z87. (1150). My friend told me, that oveclocking without the “K“ is harder than with it, so i have to use the FSB method.
I totally don't know how could i use this metod. Suddenly, I've been warned that with raising freq. of bus, will raise freq. of Ram too. And due that, the voltage should be changed to prevent the BSoD. The RAMs which I'm currently using are Kingstone 8GB XPN Black Series, 1,5v , 1600mhz. As you can see, my English ain't one of the best around but i didn't found any tutorials at Youtube, not even with OCing the Xeon at all. Maybe I'm asking alot but, who asks alot, learns alot. To sum up this all: It's possible to get on 4Ghz, if yes, what voltage on RAMs should i use, to run with 100% stability? Thanks for every pointfull reply.
