My PC specifications:
CPU :Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz
GPU :GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
RAM:8 GB DDR2 800MHz
Nothing Overclocked
Motherboard: HP 0AA0h
PSU: Delta DPS-460DB-3A 450 Watts
Can I increase my CPU speed, since it's limiting the GPU performance? If yes, please let me know how. Thanks!

Not compatible with that board. You can still pinmod an OEM board to 1333FSB, even though your Q9450 is already installed.

Not in that motherboard. There's a way to pinmod an OEM motherboard to 1333FSB but your Q9450 is already there
What's FSB? I know that guide about on TH didn't help me understand it... Do you suggest I upgrade my motherboard, or is there something that can be done with this one?
