I have the HP Compaq 6005 Pro MT PC Micro Tower which has a BTX (mounts on the left
side of the case) mainboard (Mainboard Model 3047h) Processor (AMD Phenom II X4 B97 Processor
Speed 3.19GHz).
I am looking for a different BTX motherboard to fit in the PC Micro Tower which
will support a faster CPU. I have checked several places with no luck (BTX being
the problem).

Does anybody have any suggestions (yes, I know it is an old system but I want to
upgrade it and overclock it if possible)

Thank You

You'll find it pretty difficult to upgrade anything in a branded PC. The size and shape is pretty proprietary to the brand's in-house parts.

If you're thinking about upgrading the motherboard and CPU, you might as well buy a new small-factor case too, and migrate the existing HDD and RAM to the new build. You may or may not need a new PSU with this move.
