I have an 131-GT-E767 x58 motherboard with a recently acquired Xeon x5675. I'm able to overclock it and run prime95 in Windows, however, the highest CPU multiplier the BIOS allows me to set is 23x -- I'm finding many others online who are able to set their multipliers up through 25x -- and set directly, not roundabout through turbo boost.
The highest the BIOS allows me to set is 23x. If I enable turbo boost, the subtext shows me that a 24x multiplier will be used for turbo, but I'm not able to set this number directly myself, and I'd obviously have to have turbo boost enabled. But I'm really trying to get a 25x multiplier like I've seen many others do.
I'm currently on the latest BIOS (83). Does this require a Westmere mod of the motherboard? The motherboard boots fine without it, displaying the "Xeon 3.07GHz" properly, so I assumed that meant I didn't need to do the mod. I can, though, if it'll fix this.
Thanks
