I figure your common desktop utilities to overclock the system may not work in server (as they may not even install). On the hardware side of a system overclocking should be possible via firmware if so equipped.
Appreciate the vote of confidence! Right, overclocking would happen at the BIOS level, but Windows Server itself will not support overclocking. We wouldn't recommend it in a server environment, there are independent tools you can use if you chose to go that route.
- that said, Server CPUs aswell as client CPUs of today to use Intel turbo technology which by default uses "overclocking" and both clients and server reaching amazing clock speeds on single or all cores depending the environment and workloads (AVX reduces these etc)
- That's the thing Intel has brought to their CPUs for decades! The thing I mean is controlling performance over 100% of its design (like an i5 10th Gen usually comes with 4Ghz but with some software trick we can go for 4.5Ghz), but it seems to be quite in Microsoft Fairy-tales or something familiar with that ~.~
we should differentiate between clients and workstations and servers. The Controlled turbo feature exist in Windows Server, too. which offers vastly higher clock speeds already over the base clock speed.
