Overclock the Intel Q6600 processor to gain increased PC speeds.
The Intel Q6600 series of quad core processors are designed for desktop PCs. Computer processors, like the Intel Q6600, influence the speed of the PC to which they are connected. In order to overclock the Q6600, you will need to change the BIOS settings for the Intel GA-EX38-DQ6 motherboard and the CPU's multiplier setting. Overclocking devices like the Q6600 CPU and GA-EX38-DQ6 motherboard can cause systems to overheat, which can damage other components of the PC.
Instructions
1. Boot the desktop computer. Hold the setup menu key during boot, usually the "F11" key, to enter the boot menu.
2. Navigate to the "BIOS" entry found in the boot menu and press "Enter." Locate "External Bus" and hit the "Enter" key. Find "Front Bus Speed" or "Front Side Bus" and hit the "Enter" key. Choose an entry above the default selected value and press "Enter." This speeds up the GA-EX38-DQ6 motherboard's front bus, allowing for faster processor speeds.
3. Locate "CPU Core" and hit the "Enter" key. Find "Multiplier" and hit the "Enter" key. Raise the value by one and hit "Enter." This increases the Q6600 processor's frequency multiplier.
4. Press "Esc" to move to the main boot menu. Press "Save and Exit" to finish booting the PC.
