Today I will be showing you how to do the tape trick to overclock your Q6600 from 2.4ghz to 3.0ghz, and this is a method of the tape trick that is perfectly stable without any BSODs or crashes as long as you have decent cooling.
Firstly, turn your CPU so that the two notches on the sides are more to the bottom of the unit as you look at it. Next, on the right side, put a small piece of electrical tape over the pin right above the right notch on the row on the edge. Next, put another small piece of electrical tape on the pin 2 up from the one you just taped. So this is how it should be: Notch, tape on the pin right above it, 1 pin above it without tape, then the pin above that has tape on it. Next, put your CPU back in your PC and boot into windows. Run CPU-Z and you should see that your CPU goes between 2ghz at 6x multiplier and 3ghz at 9x multiplier depending on the workload you are running on your PC at the time. If you see this, then you have successfully overclocked your Q6600 to 3.0ghz. Next, run a stress test (I suggest AIDA64) for atleast 5-10 minutes to make sure your overclock is stable and that there are no BSODs or crashes. If your CPU remains stable, then you now have a Q6600 at 3ghz. I hope I was able to help some of you. Bye.
