Here's the page with the BIOS mention.

Those guys are all about the newer unlocked Xeons. Give them a try and then maybe TS will work for you.
Mentions of TS overclocking are few and far between. Unclewebb has probably seen most of what there is. He tracks TS mentions pretty closely in several large forums.
A lot of what we're doing here either hasn't been done before. Like Dell workstaion overclocking, or if it's been done/tried it wasn't documented and valuable information was lost.
The CPU you're using was "partially" unlocked, and possibly re-locked by Intel. I think the E5-1650 is more fully unlocked and maybe v1, and v2 share a socket?
Unfortunately we're finding lots of CPUZ validations with raised multipliers on known locked CPUs. So be very careful of relying on that source.
I would do a little more research with the conventional overclockers on that platform. You might find an explanation for the issue there.
On a completely different note. While studying the manual of the MSI aftermarket version of the x58 Alienware MB I acquired. I found it had overclocking dipswitches.( If you have to ask you're too young to be told about them). A 3 pole switch with setting for 133,166, and 200 BCLK. The switch is missing on the AW but the pads are still there. I wonder if this is the key to an X58 BCLK pinmod?
I'm drooling thinking about how easy the LGA775 266-333fsb tapemod was!

While I'm at it (I've been into the Aeropress coffee this morning) I was looking through my Dell CPU cooler coolection and found an LGA1366 heatpipe cooler with fan. It fits in the same cooling zone as the T3500/5500 coolers, and has the Dell LGA1366 stud above the MB mounting bolts. It's from an XPS 435MT. #0P041K. It doesn't have the 5 pin fan connector, and the fan blows into the cooler. But it looks like it would work for the 2nd CPU on a T500/7500. 6 coooling tubes vs. 4 is the advantage. Or upgrade for an overclocked T3500.
The listings for this are very confusing because it gets listed all over the place for the Optiplex 960 which is an LGA775 BTX and I know it won't fit that. The correct fitment is the LGA1366 XPS435MT.
If you search Optiplex 960 heatsink this won't come up. But if you search this part# Opti 960 is just about all you'll get.
