Hello guys. How do you get past or fix the locked 20x uncore multiplier of the X56xx Xeons? I've been struggling a lot with this issue and can't find a real solution.
This ridiculously high multiplier forces me to go much higher on the CPU VTT than it's necessary just to reach some mediocre clocks.
I'm aware that the max safe CPU VTT voltage is 1.35V and I shouldn't get past that, so I'm following this rule of thumb. So this voltage gives me 193x22 for X5650 and I can't go higher without increasing it.
I'm almost certain that if I somehow manage to reduce the uncore multi, I'd be able to either go higher on BCLK or reduce the CPU VTT.
I've read that there are "hacked" bioses for some motherboards with added microcode for these specific CPUs which actually fully unlock these multipliers. Any idea how to achieve that and mod my own bios?
The motherboard is Foxconn FlamingBlade GTI with the latest BIOS.
The CPU is Xeon X5650 B1.
Any ideas or advices would be highly appreciated.
