How Do I Overclock My Q6600 CPU?
When it comes to computers and being an enthusiast, there is no such thing as too fast when it comes to the main processor. When Intel or AMD release a new line of CPUs (Central Processing Units), it is not long before the enthusiast crowd knows the intimate details of that line, and which CPUs in that line have the greatest possibility of being “overclocked,” or run at a speed higher than the rated and advertised speed. Overcocking a CPU has become much easier thanks to the motherboard vendors, but it is still very much a trial and error process. Install your RAM (if you do not already have RAM rated for the target speed) and the heatsink and fan. Use a high quality thermal compound, not the cheap white paste that gets packed in with most heatsinks. When all is done, boot the PC and enter the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). Navigate to the BIOS page that has all of the CPU, memory, and chipset voltage and front side bus settings. Check your motherboard manual if you cannot find them
