    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    I was actually able to OC L5639 on Bloodrage mobo to 180BLK with very small voltage increase. It's been running stably at 180 x 18 = 3.24Ghz for months. I can push it to 200BLCK with higher voltage. However I felt like 180BLCK is good enough. Also Bloodrage's BIOS has some issue. 50% of...
