Hello dear community!

 

I would like to overclock my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU to 3.0 GHz,which is on a Foxconn G31MXP motherboard.

 

So I would like to know if it would be safe for the motherboard,this overclock to be done?

 

Is the 3.0 GHz CPU frequency too high for this motherboard?

 

I tried to contact the manufacturer of the motherboard,but I couldn't contact them,so I decided to ask for help from the Intel community because the CPU is by Intel.

 

If this overclock is safe to be done,I would please you to give me a good guide or tutorial for how to I make to overclock properly.

 

The motherboard is Foxconn G31MXP.

 

Here is a screenshot of my PC's specs: specs.png

 

Please help me.

 

Thanks to all in advance.

 

Best regards.

not safe , because it will damage to the motherboard components .

I would recommend you upgrade the compatible processor code 2 duo series which comes base frequency 3.00Ghz .

 

I am using intel core 2 duo E 8500 3.16 Ghz on G41 motherboard
