theres nothing special about multipliers, most of the time they are locked anyway. And yes, the "normal" way to overclock is to slowly increase the FSB... But then it gets to a point where you cant go any higher because the CPU doesnt have enough power going to it, thats when you jack up the vcore, then go back to the FSB and start increasing again...

There are of course complications with memory speeds and timings when overclocking
