Default E6600 with D975XBX2...
I am building another computer. I installed a Intel E6600 on the XBX2. The BIOS is to date. I notice that I can't change the multiplicator (stay in gray shade) and it is stock at 9!!!

I was able to increase the FSB to 334 and run stable and cool at 2997MHz (with Corsair Twin 667MHz). I will like to increase the multiplicator to 10! Is there a way to do this (or how to enable this comand in BIOS)?

It's impossible. The multiple is locked an all Intel Core 2 Duos except for the "Extreme" edition ones like the X6800.

New E6600 don't overclock as well as the older ones apparently. My "older" one can do 400x9 = 3.6GHz with 1.45V.

I've been wondering how the newer cheapo q6600s are doing- I have been considering getting one, but I had a feeling that I couldn't expect much OC from them. Anyone else bought one lately?

that's not true at all. my e6600 allows for multipliers 6-9 to be used. currently running 400x8.

francois, i'm not familiar at all with that mobo but a quick google search should help you out.

if you're disputing me, you're wrong. you can change the multi on ANY C2D or Quad. you just can't raise the multi unless you have a X model.

all c2ds can be downclocked not upclocked unless the board won't let you.
