Hi everyone
I applied Bsel mod to boost my old q6600 from 2.4 Ghz (FSB 1066) to 3.0 Ghz (FSB 1333).
The procedure worked well, but the outcome in Cinebench R15 shows a change.
My overall impression is that it runs faster, particularly when checking the CPU ID compared to the 2.4 Ghz setting.
I’m not sure if this is just a feeling or a real difference, but I want to know if there’s an issue if the Benchmark score for 3.0 Ghz is lower than 2.4 Ghz.

Whenever the cooler and CPU are apart, the thermal paste needs to be removed and replaced. You might skip this step, but the cooling efficiency will suffer significantly, making it a probable cause of the issue.

My prediction is heat. The bench could force your CPU to slow down. This seems likely since you notice better performance under light loads.

I think it might be the heat. The bench could cause your CPU to throttle. This is likely because you feel faster under light loads. What should I do? Is there anything specific I need to do? Check the speed fan or any other heat sensor. If it exceeds 80, consider replacing the thermal paste or cooler. You might also look for models with many adapters so you can use them in a new build.

Check the speed fan or any other heat sensor. If it exceeds 80, consider replacing the thermal paste or the cooler. Look for options with many adapters so you can reuse it in a new build. Regarding the thermal paste, I haven't reapplied it after placing the CPU on my desk and the old paste has worn off. Can you think about using it without reapplying the paste because it's difficult to remove the CPU now? Your case is small enough that you can just remove the heat sink and CPU.

Whenever the cooler and CPU are apart, the thermal paste needs to be removed and replaced. You might skip this step, but the heat management will suffer more than necessary and is probably contributing to the issue.
