Hi , in thinking of getting of Asus Z9PE-D8 WS and 2xIntel Xeon E5-2620 for photoshop . Is it possible to overclock those xeons ? And not is it better to get i7 3930K and overclock it as far it goes?

i think theyre all locked. and i dont see the dual xeon setup performing any better than a 3930k in photoshop
you can't overclock the Asus !!! look at the EVGA SR-2 if you want to overclock Xeon's

Holy thread resurrection:
I've been given a system with dual Xeons (2620) and this board (Z9PED8 WS) and asked to Overclock it with 2133MHz RAM.
First instinct was 160x19 for 2133MHz ish and ~3GHz on the CPUs but this wont POST. Reigned it in to a 120MHz fsb but still it wont POST. Any ideas where to go from here or should I give in and tell the client it's not going to play?

Want to get one of these boards so I have been reading up some. There are only one or two types of ram that have passed testing at 2133.
See which ones at: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ser...IMM_120607.pdf
My Biggest Fear Is When I die, My Wife Sells All My Stuff For What I Told Her I Paid For It.79 SB threads and 32 IB Threads across 4 rigs 111 threads Crunching!!
Ok, where to start: First, the E5-26xx xeons are BCLK locked so you can't OC them like you could a i7-920 or even the previous gen like we did with the EVGA SR2 board.
On that Asus board you can increase the BCLK to 103 and thats about it..maybe 104 if your lucky.
Now to get 3GHz in that system you need to toss out those 2620's, peel open your wallet and remove $3000.00+ and buy a pair of E5-2690's or remove almost $4000,00 and buy a pair of the top E5-2687W's..Now, have I totally rained on your parade?
