sandisk 128gb ssd sata2comp.
500watt psu (real 500watt)

333x7.5 is stock and working 334-335-336-337-338 stabil and working but 339 and more not working just black screen. cpu volt never changing if this cpu +0.5 volt black screen again. but e series and x series 771 xeon cpu perfect clocking and voltaging. i think maybe L series xeon cpu not possible overclocking because low voltage series. what do you think? and 2.5ghz quad core is good for gaming? 3-4 years later?

Why do you think you need 16GB of memory. 8GB is more than enough for most users.

OCing a Xeon (especially an older one) is tricky. It is meant to be a locked CPU.

It looks like you were successful at lesser OC settings, is that true? If so, one of those levels may be as far as you can go with this config.

What is the best, stable setup you have been able to achieve?
