Can i OC?

[questkid44]

Hi, I have an old Dell XPS 420 that i have re purposed as my home server, and i would like to get some more horsepower out of it. Is there any way that i could overclock the Core 2 Quad q6600 that it has? I would really appreciate any suggestions except for the ghetto electrical tape mod.

Thanks!

Locked down bios on a basic OEM board with basic cooling. Overclocking would be a bad idea if it was even possible which it really isn't.

I think that the processor that is in this computer was a really good draw in the silicon lottery because my max temperatures in the Prime 95 Small FFT's Test is 47 Degrees Centigrade, and i have the stock Dell heat sink. I know that the motherboard is locked because i have tried to OC that way before.
