Hello all!
Well since I am upgrading my system by next month, I decided to do what I was afraid to do in the past and that was overclocking my CPU. I pretty much had no idea how to do it but reading forums and watching youtube video to overclock gave me a bit more confidence to try to overclock my Q6600@2.40GHz.
As you can see below the pictures, these are the before screenshots.
Processor speed
Temp
During bios, I change the CPU Host Frequency to 333 and the PCI Express Frequency to 100
Keep in mind, this computer been running for over 8 hours. During that time I was playing Skyrim at max graphics for at least an hour without any crashes. Here are the pictures of the overclock results after 8 hours of run time.

Did I do okay for my first overclock? I know it not all that but it was a fun learning experience to do it lol
