Then either you misread or the motherboard is playing up. This chip does go to 3.06GHz from the factory.

 

As the mobo could display wrong results, consider updating the BIOS first before overclocking.

Well, My brother plays CS:GO, and of course Valve loves to bloat maps for older CPU's (de_Dust2, de_Inferno) ... I want to overclock my Core 2 Duo E7600, but my BIOS says that my CPU frequency is 200, but my multiply is 11.5x. This would mean my clock will be 2300 MHz, but it isn't. It's 3.06 GHz... This is with the overclocking feature disabled. May I ask, if I decide to overclock now to say 300MHz on frequency, will that translate to 3.45GHz, or will it be screwed like my reading...

I double checked. My eyes are fine (that is a good thingxD).

I'll guess I'm going to update my bios then.
