    Hi Zeuszzz and welcome to the forum :)
     
    Check your motherboard revision number, it should be written on it.
     
    If it's equal or above 1.1 then it supports Xeon Westmere-EP. In this case i suggest you buy a Xeon W3680 or W3690. These are 32nm 6 cores CPU with unlocked multiplier compared to your 4 core 45nm E5530 with locked multiplier. It's much, much better and you can find them for cheap. Well worth the upgrade imho. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=W3680&ltype=wholesale&d=y&tc=af&initiative_id=SB_20181021211251&origin=y&catId=0&isViewCP=y&jump=afs
     
    So if you want to get more juice out of your system, i suggest you buy one of these and sell your E5530. You can probably get around 4.5 Ghz on 6 cores with a W3680 with a good aircooler. You'll probably never reach that with your current processor.
