Hehe, yeah! I build my gaming desktops, and I've got the experience from that. Building a server is actually quite similar.

Unfortunately, you can't overclock the multiplier on a Xeon. You can muck with the bclock, but that's just asking for instability and trouble, and for the most part it won't even work. So what you see is what you get for a Xeon.

Bummer, I didn't know that, I never built Xeon machines before. Did you pay for the hardware with bitcoin? Newegg accepts it, and I've been exclusively buying my stuff from them with bitcoin :)

Hehe, I was going to, but due to some tax reasons in my current situation I didn't. It's really awesome they have the option though!

or when possible amazon via purse.io I've got cheap optane drives this way.
