Subject: Dell XPS 720. Need to unlock a installed QX9650
i have upgraded the CPU recently upgraded from a Intel Core 2 QX6850 to a QX9650 which seems to run perfectly except that the overclock speed adjustment is locked in the bios. The QX9650 is a unlocked CPU and I have read that it is not supported by the XPS 720 bios or motherboard. I am looking for help in modifying the bios to unlock the QX9650. The motherboard is a Dell OEM BTX board red in color with a Foxconn LS-36 sticker on it. Further research also shows to be manufactured by DFI LANPARTY UT P45-T2RS. The chipset is the NVIDIA nForce 680i chipset based using freestyle Award BIOS IDs from what I gather.  There is also a reference to a Foxconn bios 723F1P14. EVGA also has a 680i motherboard.

The Nvidia nforce 750i SLI, 780i SLI and 790i SLI show to support the QX9650: https://www.nvidia.com/content/nforce700...U_List.pdf
