Need help OCing a Q6600 2.4 to 3.0 [EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED THANKS ROCK_SOLID!!!!]

Your locked out of your BIOS? Do you mean a password?

If so then unplug your PC from the wall then remove the little battery from the motherboard and wait about a minute before putting it back in.

If that doeset work look in your motherboards manual for where the jumper is that you can remove in order to manually clear the BIOS.

you said you have an acer AM5620 you must know one thing 75% OF PC manufacturer Lock the bios to prevent you to play with VOLTAGE / CPU Overclocking : you'r limited probabely to use an unsafe programs to do it but try it may work

I have none of my Friend who bough a pre-build pc from manifacturer such as acer /gateway / dell / hp could ever overclock there cpu in the past 5 year but few people told me there a way to do it tough i forgot how there way to perfrom almost same overclock as if bios was the same the original motherboard bios

I would stay away from windows overclocking apps tbh, they're generally flakier than a kellogg's factory. Maybe have a look round on the net for a modded/unlocked BIOS for your motherboard, I doubt you'll find one but probably worth a look anyway. Other than that just get a new board or leave it stock til you get a whole new comp.

this actually does work. you can overclock without accessing the bios or using any program.

doing that tape mod, just changes the CPU from 2.4 -> 3.0ghz. With that do you have to changes voltages and what not? but thats pretty cool.Plo_Koon_basic

it also changes FSB from 1066 to 1333

don't need to change any voltages or anything else.

wow!, i might do that this weekend. thats awesome.Plo_Koon_basic

DO you know why this "tape mod" dose this? and when overclocking more from my tiny test, the volts have to be raised quite a bit. but to be honset 3.0ghz, is fine.Plo_Koon_basic
