So I have a core 2 quad that I want to overclock but unfortunately I have an hp pavilion I hi jacked from my family and have upgraded it quite substantially, but the cpu is locked so I can't do crap in the bios. I heard that there is a forced hardware overclock where I use a piece of tape to force the cpu's clock speed and fsb to run faster. Keep in mind I am good with computers but not as knowledgeable as the lot of you guys here. Is there anything I can do to overclock my cpu other than the forced hardware OC? If there isn't and I would need to do a forced hardware OC is it safe to do or kinda sketchy? I would upgrade to a faster core 2 quad but cpu's that fit into an LGA 775 are expensive as hell
