Hi everybody, I was wondering how my friend overclocked his pc he got the same pc as me only with an other motherboard in it. He overclocked his Q6600 @2.4ghz to 4ghz.. I want to do the same as him only my bios of my motherboard is locked. I heard there must be some software what can overclock your processor. Does anybody know if there is any software that can overclock a Q6600 processor ? Already thanks.

EVGA's E-LEET software allows you to overclock in Windows:

Only thing is your actual monthboard might have to have the features unlocked to do the overclocking, i am also not sure it supports your older chipset and LGA 775 socket.

I say, you'd be better of just getting a new board that can overclock.

Wait you did the tape mod and it didn't work? It may not bring it up to 4ghz, but 3ghz is a start.

There are diffrent types of bsel mod's, the one's iv'e seen include two pins that are linked together, the jiggly_wiggly link seems like the one. 3Ghz Q66 is fine for just about any game. Never OC s775 MB's with software, if anything it's done inside bios.

i didn't need to connect 2 pins. i only put tape over 1 pin and i've had no problems at all. i did exactly what NVIDIATI's pic shows.
