Unusuall BIOS CPU overclock

[TheCynicalCris]

Hi everyone,

 

I've got an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 clocked at 2.66GHz. As far as I know it overclocks pretty well to even 3.00GHz but my motherboard has a pretty uncommon BIOS (stock one). So I'll attach a few photos of menus in the BIOS that are responsible for overclocking and I hope some kind soul would tell me what values should I change :).

"pretty uncommon" you must be a young person, that is what ALL BIOS looked like before UEFI was introduced

Not that young and not that old. Anyway, I’ve never got into CPU overdlocking as an Linux Server and network administration with almost 10 year experiences . But besides my age, how to overclock this beast?

Ah, the good old days. I miss this stuff...

Thanks! With most of those principles I'm pretty much aware of. My main question is which voltage to increase for the CPU? CPU VTT Voltage? Any others?

it's a bit out of my range, back when I tried Overclocking my Q6600 I did a software solution that was bundled with the motherboard because that was 10-11 years ago and it was my first attempt to overclock something.
