MP 1,1-5,1 HELP overclocking on mac os

[ModernGnome]

Hello, I have a mac pro 5,1 with dual x5690 CPUs. I am thinking about water cooling my computer, and since I would be adding extra cooling capacity I would love to overclock my CPUs and ram to give my computer a little more performance. I am wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I have been doing research on the topic and at first, it seemed as though it couldn't be done, but after searching results on Geekbench, I found someone who was able to overclock a single CPU mac pro to 4.5+ Ghz. They also had many tests at different clock speeds, so I assume the overclock was achieved through software. I would really love to know if anyone has been able to overclock the mac pro 5,1 or any mac for that matter. Thanks!

No, it’s a retro MP5,1 owner that use the first MP5,1 firmware upgrade from 2010 to overlock his magical Xeon to 4,68GHz and his incredible DDR3 RAM to 1777MHz.

I wonder if that certain person still has this magical Xeon?
