With the Intel chips, the multipliers are locked upwards, but not downwards. You can go down to 6 on them. Not weird.

Have you checked in the BIOS to make sure?

n00b question heading your way lol... my cpu is at 2.6 on x7 multiplier if it bump it up to 8 and lower the FSB this should decrease my temps rite?

Not as far as I know but I'm not exactly the most knowledgeable person on the subject.

I would leave the FSB.. it is best to have a high one because it will improve everythings perfomance.
