    Hi @ALL

    please help me. I recently upgraded from a 2687w to a 1680v2. I can set its multi in XTU up to 45 all core but it boost only up to 3,7Ghz. I attached a Screenshot of XTU please help me solve the OC Issue.

    Did I forgot to change a Setting in my Bios ?

    Thank you for your help.

    It should be unlocked since Xeons have been locked starting with v4 iirc.

    Does the BIOS detect this chip correctly?

    Hi@all

    yes it is unlocked i got it to 4,3ghz.
    I just don’t understand why I only get 4,3ghz with a 50x Multi on all Core.

    XTU settings are set. But I think I need to optimize Bios settings too. There are some settings in Bios I don’t know what The values are based on. It says
    (1/8 watt).

    This are the Standard Settings in Bios:

    core Current Limit (1/8 Amp) 1312
    Turbo Boost Max (1/8 Watt) 1040
    Turbo Boost Short Max (1/8 Watt) 1300

    Please help me to understand this 3 Settings.

    Thank you all

    Divide the number by 8 to get the real value.
