So, hello! Today I decided to overclock my q6600, it had 2.66 ghz and a multiplier of 10x266, these according to cpu z. I overclocked it at 3.0 ghz with multiplier of 9x333 and base voltage 1.3v.
After this the idle temps were 38C and under cpuz's stress test 68. Is it safe this way? And one weird thing happened.... now cpuz and my mobo reads my cpu as q6700.
