As the title asks, is there a way to force all cores on a Xeon to run at the max turbo speed on EVGA's X99 (specifically the Classified)?

I've got a 14C 2690 V4 on the way, and I'd like to keep max turbo speeds on at least 6 of those cores for gaming purposes. Not the single core Intel defaults to.

EDIT: And would it be possible to run 2800MHz RAM even if the XMP profile ups the BCLK?

    Xeon chips AFAIK dont support the BLCK straps required to run those different BLCKs
     
    Edit: I also remember somewhere saying that Xeons dont support having their turbo settings changed, there was someone a while ago with a 6c12t chip i think a 2650 or so, and they were unable to change the turbo clocks.
     
    Would be nice if we could have some official word on it though

    As far as I know Xeons don't support such mode. One or nothing more or less.

    Most are locked, I heard some are unlocked, depends on the chip.
     
    I have a E5 2660v1, and E2670v1 for X79.


    My Rig can do EpicFLOPs, Can yours?
    Once this baby hits 88 GigaFLOPs, You're going to see some serious $@#%....
