I have looked everywhere on my motherboard. I currently have a Dell OC27VV Motherboard with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU.

I'm looking to overclock my CPU. AS for the motherboard... Dell has it locked.. I've tried the "Tape Mod taping the 1st and 3rd pins down on the left side) but nothing changed. (believe i read that doesn't work with Q9400)

My final attempt is with SetFSB. In order to use this i need to know my PLL. I've looked everywhere on google and still nothing..

Specs:

MB- Dell OC27VV
CPU-Intel Core 2 Quad q9400 2.66 MHz
socket- 775LGA (just incase i get asked... )

1. Any other way to Overclock this CPU?
2. Any know the PLL on this board by chance?
3. Without upgrading.. Any idea's other than trash it..?

The tape mod doesn't work because your q9400 is already working at 1333MHz FSB. If you can provide some high resolutions close-up shots of your MB we may be able to find the your clock generator IC.
PS: Try IDT CV184-2APAG
