Thats because it's a Dell (im guessing dell but OEM regardless) motherboard. ASUS doesnt have BIOS downloads for them because ASUS didnt write the BIOS for it. Dell (or whoever) did. And OEMs arent known for releasing much in terms of BIOS updates, but check the computer manufacturer's website for details there

Good luck there. As far as I know, a simple bios update will never unlock the multipliers. Only in some instances a very delicate hardware modification will unlock them, but that's more of an AMD thing and too risky for most people to bother with.
