Socket 940 Overclock

Is there any Socket 940 board that does OC nicely? I know they are meant to be servers/workstations, but there can be exceptions? I'm even looking for a dual-socket 940 board with the ability of overclocking (like 300+ HTT)

I tried search but to no result. If there is anything such, please let me know.

Thanks.

 
You're not going to find much info on it since Socket 939 performs similarly for less. If you have a S940 chip laying around eBay is probably your best bet and just put the money towards something else.
 
Well these days socket 940 Opterons are cheaper. (Not the board) And there are more interesting choices (like HE, EE versions) so with a right board, I thought I could have some OC'ing fun. Presumably 940 Opterons and 939 Opterons are same things except the ECC memory requirement. (I can pick a pair of 512MB sticks under $100 on eBay) Hmm.. Those 146 HEs @3GHz... yumm..



 
Those HEs do look pretty interesting. Your best bet is probably one of the old 940 FX boards like the Asus SK8V, although most of those don't even have working async frequency support. Out of dual processor boards, I remember someone saying that the Asus K8N-DL was one of the better overclockers, but Techreport said theirs topped out at 217 or something, which is pretty hopeless.
