Check your DQ67SW setup for compatibility. You mentioned an I7 2600K upgrade and overclocking, but confirm whether your current BIOS supports those changes. Regarding the I5 2600K removal, you may need to reset BIOS settings or use a different BIOS version that matches your CPU specs.

No, we're not using Z, X or P chipsets because the second generation can't be overclocked.

I understand you might seem confused, but I’ve noticed others boosting the i7 2600K to around 4.5GHz.

They likely rely on one of the P67, Z68 or Z77 chipset boards. Your unit features a Q67.
