I came across this T3500 software OC thread.
osxlatitude.com
They seem to be getting FSB unlocking using a program called Clover, but I think they're running MacOSX???
Which is kinda like Linux???
Overclocking the goold olde T3500...
I always thought there was no way to overclock the Xeon due to locked msr in Bios, but tonight I found I can ramp up my W3680 to over 4,2 Ghz just using clover. This seems to improve rendering times by some 25-30% ! (Geekbench3 bump from 14000 to over 17000). I`ll strap an extra fan onto the cpu ...
