I'm having trouble getting a stable OC on my Q6600. I'm using an Intel DP35DP motherboard that can't be overclocked, so I tried the BSEL mod. The tape mod increased my clock speed from 2.4Ghz to 3.0Ghz but caused crashes, and browsing the web also failed. I'm running a 1.325 VID, which is suitable for this model, with a 1:1 FSB DRAM ratio and no overheating issues. Any suggestions?

Not all Q6600 models achieved 3.0Ghz, and this wasn't the trend at the time. It was simply an unsuccessful attempt.

Mark RM explains that not all Q6600 units achieved 3.0Ghz, calling it a failed attempt. He asks how to determine if the CPU or other parts are failing and mentions a VID mod using conductive paint or tin foil as an alternative.

No, if that tin foil shifts it might cause a short in your CPU. You can't pinpoint the exact part, but if your PC functions normally until you change it, the issue is likely there.
