  Hey whats up guys!
  
  Sorry for the constant questions and things, anyways...
  
  So i finally got my Bitfenix Ghost ( and my CoolerMaster Seidon 240M (
  
  I have the following specs:
  Motherboard
  Intel DG35EC (G35)
  
  CPU
  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
  
  RAM
  8Gb DDR2
  (I've attached a CPU-Z Report if you guys need any extra information)
  
  My core temperature was at 60Degrees idle on the stock cooler and now with my liquid cooler its sitting at 40Degrees idlea
  
  I'd like to overclock my Core from 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz (8 Multiplers at 400mhz)
  
  But after a bit of research i'm pretty sure how to do the overclock but not entirely sure if my motherboard and other hardware will be able to handle it?
  
  What would be a safe clock speed for my system? And also if anyone has any cool overclocking and performance enhancing tips please let me know!
  
  Thanks in advance :)

  Overclocking feature is usually absent in the BIOS of most Intel motherboards including the DG35EC.
  
  If you really want to overclock, sell that Intel motherboard then get a better one from ASUS, Gigabyte, Asrock, Biostar, etc.

  The only problem is that you cannot buy an LGA775 compliant motherboard anymore - Would you suggest that i sell the Core 2 Quad and the Motherboard and get a new machine all together? Also what would you recommened?

  Alrighty so i've done a bit of research it seems the only way to overclock my DG35EC would be BSEL Landing Modding.
  
  I want to get my CPU from 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz how exactly would i go about doing this, I've read up and it seems you need Conductive ink pen or copper tape
  and Electrical tape?
  
  I've attached an image of my CPU what exactly do i need to do to get the BSEL Landing Modding right and my CPU up to 3.2ghz?

  I dont think BSEL Modding is for me... I guess i should just get myself a new Mainboard and CPU - I already have the Seidon, so would be cool to get one which is good at overclocking
