This was what I expected too, it wasn't necessary to go all out since the board isn't built for overclocking. I thought about purchasing a socket 775 that works with it, but I don't want to waste more money if I don't need it. I've checked forums and some folks recommended BSEL mods to push the frequency up to 3Ghz, but it looks risky and I'm not sure it would improve the chip's lifespan.

The change in frequency mainly impacts voltage, not the chip's lifespan. You won't be able to adjust it further. What is the CPU's current clock speed?

It wasn't the signal strength that concerned me, it was the existence of tape that wasn't meant for it. I guess I just sense this won't turn out well. The present frequency stands at 2.44Ghz.

I've completed additional investigation and discovered a tool named setfsb which allows successful overclocking to 2.7Ghz.

You're right, you can boost the clock speed with the FSB, but not the multiplier setting.

Overclocking via the FSB isn't generally advised. (Just asking, no need to sound harsh!)

It may interfere with more than just the CPU clock and lead to issues. Adjusting the FSB impacts not only the CPU speed but also other components as well.

Got it, the adjustments will raise frequencies gently. Appreciate the support!

It works by sending signals through the motherboard to the processor.

Base clock and bus speed can be adjusted in BIOS for locked mobos or CPUs. This lets software modify those parameters too. Performance may not match multiplier OC, but the Q6600 will stay around 3.0GHz regardless. I reached 2.66GHz with a suboptimal OC card.
