No.

I'm confused
Maybe so
In theory yes, any CPU can be overcucked.

(Yes + No) / 2 = Maybe
There are a lot of fucking Xeons, which ones are you talking about?
My 6 core Xeon 5670 is OC'ed to 4.4Ghz.

Can you OC a Xeon E5-2660-V3? Not OP, by the way, just wondering before I purchase.
>>52473771
Yes, but only by BCLK. If you have an ASUS or other enthusiast/gaming board, you can modify the BCLK Strap, which won't affect stuff other than CPU.
Best advice if you get an E5 2600 v2/3, run on max turbo all the time. This is what I do, runs fantastically.

Most won't go above even a 5% OC and stay stable, but yes it is possible. The more cores it has, the less likely it will be stable under any amount of OC.

>>52473771
Out of the new Xeons, you can only OC 12xx and 16xx series chips, 26xx and higher cannot be OC'd except for BCLK.
Unless you're planning on running a dual-socket system, don't bother with the 26xx CPUs, you're paying extra for no real reason.
