HP Z600 overclock

[petersollberg]

Is it possible to overclock Xeon cpus in HP's Z600 workstation? (dual 5620, 2.4ghz)
I read everywhere about mobos that can handle overclocking, but how about these xeons and mobo here in HP?
Any experience?
thanks

Hello, and welcome to THG.

I do not think HP allows Overclocking on their computers. the BIOS is locked. However, there is software that bypasses the firmware(BIOS) and allows you to increase the FSB rating.
