We don't know yet about these v6 E3 Xeons until we see reviews, but if they are anything like all the previous generations of E3 Xeons they will hardly overclock at all beyond normal boost clock. Indeed Intel make no claims whatsoever about OCing these chips.

So saying Ryzen is bad compared to these v6 E3 chips because Ryzen doesn't overclock much doesn't make sense.

You can't overclock on the chipset that supports them?

The previous generations work in any chipset which supports the equivalent i7.

So I'm using a E3 Xeon v3 in a 97A mobo which does have facility to overclock. I don't think the 97H mobo supported overclocking though.
In any case they don't overclock very well.

The skylake/kaby lake stuff is locked to a chipset that cannot OC

Correct. I am using an e3-1245v5 which is the Skylake version of this chip. It will only work with a c232 or c236 server chipset. I knew this when buying it. For my main home computer, I wanted something very stable while using F@H, video editing, etc without the temptation to overclock. It has been flawless and I am very happy with it.

I'm incapable of reaching 4.5 Ghz on a 6900K and 6800K was a stretch on expensive water
Granted 7700K is capable but it's missing 4 cores but I'll cruise away at 3.6 ghz beating the 4.5 ghz 7700K in productivity while using the same amount of power ;)

Depends on the tasks.
