I got Dell Vostro 410 with Q6600 and wanted to overclock it using the following trick:

However, somehow I messed it up and while I succeeded with 1333MHz FSB, I somehow changed the multiplier from 9.0 to 6.0 and now I'm running at 2.0GHz. Any idea what pins I messed up and what I could do to change the multiplier back to default 9.0? Thanks.

Are you seeing that multiplier in BIOS or in your OS (through cpu-z or similar)? If it's in the OS, you may be seeing C1E or EIST lowering your multiplier.

Otherwise, no idea, I'll leave it to the experts.

Have you disables C1E and things like that ? See the sticky at the top of this forum ? Did you read that ?
