Overclocking a Xeon X5647 quadcore cpu

[_valenthyne]

Is it safe? Its paired with a GTX 1050 ti and 12 gigs of ddr3 ram

overclocking anything needs knowledge, you know the safe temps, the correct voltage, the correct fan speeds? can you moniter the overclock constantly? Look up forums on what to do for your overclock, and REMEMBER NOT ALL CPU'S AND GPU'S AND COMPUTERS ARE THE SAME, what gives high results for another won't for the next, you could fry your setup useing someone elses settings, you have to test what is best for your system.

good luck have fun, I used to do this all the time for laptops.

Well the gtx 1050ti isn't high end gpu.

Probably as safe or unsafe as any other CPU, if you do it right. You'd better ask this question in a hardware forum and read up some guides on how to overclock CPUs.

Why does it run games so well then

its still a decent gpu

but gpu aint all

if you have a good cpu and ram that supports your gpu you can throw any game at it =)

i have a gtx 750 ti and it runs great ! =)

i get 300 + fps in any games thanks to my ram and ssd and cpu =)

It's a low end gpu. It's not decent. Simply doesnt run "well" as my definition of running well would be pumpibg everything to max and substain a fair amount of fps. And I admire you if your computer somehow runs any game at 300 fps. Really.

well depends on what gamers and how well optimised they are :P

i can get more fps if i lower settings but i usually set em on high and ultra but remove the anti aliasing and the other junk that just drains the power for no real reason and i still get great looking games so

"meh" :D

not even about opimisation. Games evolve over the time and therefor also their requirements. Also many games doesnt depend on the CPU. SSD has no impact on FPS at all. RAM only slightly in msot games but not all. In many games the difference between DDR4-2133 vs DDR4-3200 is often under 5 fps.

Also lowering the resolution to 480p and running at lowest settings to gain 300 fps in low end games doesnt mean you have a good GPU...

Even the 1080 fails to deliver constant 60 fps in 1080p ultra in GRW and that is not because of bad optimization. Its mostly because the huge impact of ultra settings and the wide area with many details that needs to be rendered.

While I have no experience with overclocking xeons directly, the same basic rules apply, find out the max safe voltage, for the vast majority of Intel chips that will be 1.4v,ideally no more than 1.35v, start. Yeah upping the multiplier leaving the voltage alone until it isn't stable, then slowly increase the voltage 0.05v at a time until stable and then up the core multiplier. Run a test at each stage to check for stability monitor g CPU temps with something like MSI afterburners OSD or hwinfo64.

All of this is based on the idea you have a good cooler.
You could jump ahead a few steps and try 1.25v at a multiplier of 38 and work them both up / down to suit, with a good cooler you should be able to get to 4GHz at around 1.3-1.35.

It does. 300 fps in csgo. 60 fps locked in pubg.

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

The 60 in pubg will be on low not ultra though.

Wow. 300 fps on cs go. So good considering it's from 2012 and demands more cpu than gpu.

most importantly csgo is the game to benchmark... Even Intel HD 630 iGPU gets 200 fps on ultra 1080p...

a GTX 1050 Ti is just fine for most games at Med/High and even SOME Ultra settings
do some research before essentially calling it a POS.

CSGO is more CPU bound than GPU, so that isnt a good example.

In any case

As for OC'ing the CPU, it would be best to search for OC'ing results done with that CPU
The motherboard you have may also limit any possible overclocking capabilities, so if its some crappy board it may not be worth attempting.
