After getting a new GPU recently I thought just to make things a little more balanced I would overclock my Q6600 CPU to at least 3.0GHz. I went to go find a video to follow the instructions but once I got into my bios there were barely any options there, so I just thought that my motherboard or CPU was "locked" and I couldn't do anything about it. But then I saw this: http://imgur.com/a/QTJrx Does this mean somebody already made overclock options with the bios and saved them? I don't really know much about this stuff but I know that this PC was custom built by somebody else.
When I tried changing that option to 30% my PC just blue screened once I logged in and restarted. I changed it to 20% and everything seemed fine and I think my GHz did increase from the stock 2.4GHz, I didn't try testing any games though.
I'm asking if this setting is actually what I think it is and not just some random BIOS stuff.
SPECS:
Mobo: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5QL/EPU (LGA775) (American Megatrends)
GPU: 750ti SC
CPU Cooler: Some Deep Cool cooler (Can't find a model number or anything)
My complete BIOS if achieving at least 3.0GHz is possible with these settings:

Any help is appreciated.
