hello i have an HP Z400 pc with an intel xeon W3565 cpu liquid cooled and was thinking about using the intel Extreme Tuning Utility to overclock my cpu but have never used this program before any input would help thanks

as far as im aware the cpu is locked so only the FSB and the turbo frequency multi casn be messed with so where do i go from here what are my options im not looking for a massive overclock just a little

Usually your gpu matters more than your cpu in MOST games.

Try not to use software for overclocking, it is best to use the bios to change multipliers voltages etc. Then stress test it with a program x264 real bench etc.
Is there a need for the overclock ?

I only use Intel XTU when I'm stress testing for stability. It's very similar to AMD Overdrive in a sense that the dials are almost all the same. I recommend overclocking from the bios and not through software because of the potential risk of overvolting the CPU.
