It's not possible to overclock the Intel Q6600 by using electrical tape or blocking pins. The process requires specialized tools and knowledge, and attempting it can damage the CPU. It is not safe and does not apply to newer generations of processors.

It's specifically designed for that port, I believe it's either 755 or 751, though I'm not entirely certain.

They managed the two pins for controlling the device.

They managed the pace of the front-side bus (FSB). Blocking them to cut power would boost the FSB speed and consequently the CPU speed. I think by default the FSB operated at 1066 MHz, taping over one pin would raise it to 1333 MHz, taping over the second pin would push it up to 1600 MHz, though this only functioned correctly with certain CPU/motherboard pairs.

"Locked" processors have started to be a thing with second gen core I series CPUs. Everything before that was overclockable. We got a great thread here.
