Underclocking the Q6600 multiplier?

Hey everyone,

**first of all, I'm a beginner at over/underclocking and I've done as much reading as I can before I started this thread**

I'm trying to figure out how to decrease the multiplier in my Intel core 2 quad Q6600 chip. I realise that the chip is Locked, so the multiplier can't be increased over 9 and is supposed to have a Core Speed of 2400 MHz. I found the topic about overclocking the Q6600, and I using Nvidias nTune I figured out how to temporarily change the FBS with the slider. However, the multiplier has no slider:


I'm trying to find a way to do it with software rather than changing the BIOS settings. I would love it if someone could give me a hand. Here's a screenshot of my computer stats:



Thanks so much in advance!

If you do it in Windows you'll need some software starting up to change it every time you boot. Do it in the BIOS. However, if you must use Windows, Google Crystal CPUID

It should work, in fact it should work BETTER on 32-bit if anything. Did you make sure you got the right version (I can't remember if there's more than one)?

The mutiplier could be under an odd name, but it should be around the same page as the FSB freq.

Interesting. Perhaps you performed a BIOS update previously and didn't reset the BIOS. That can cause settings that were added in the new version not to show.

That may be the case. Although it's pretty poor form not to reset the BIOS after a flash.

Happy to help
