Can't find multiplier in BIOS

So, I was in BIOS today trying to up my OC, and I was trying to lower the multiplier, so I could raise the FSB without having to raise the vCore, and also keeping the system stable. I looked through BIOS, but I couldn't find the multiplier....only the FSB. It was weird...is there anything else it might be called. I even just looked for the number...I calculated that my multipler is 11, and I couldn't find 11 as a setting for anything.


Any ideas?
 
In some BIOS's you might have to perform some key combination (eg ctrl + F1) to enable some settings. Check your MOBO manual.

Update your BIOS. That might help.
 
Most of the time under the advanced chipset or hardware configuration section you would look for the cpu settings and see "auto". Once you find it you select it and press the enter key to bring up a popup type menu for auto, optimal, user defined. Once you choose user defined you are basically on your own if you never oced on prior occasions. You certainly don't want to raise up the core voltages and fry the cpu.
 
Raising the core voltage won't necessarily fry the cpu. Now if you increase the voltages drastically with a stock cooling solution or something, then yeah you will be looking at problems. Then again, why would you overclock on stock cooling (generally speaking, this excludes C2D. C2D is *such* an exception to the rule...).

Right now I'm OC'ing on stock cooling. My CPU is currently 42ºC.

i have my 4200 OC'd to 2.42 on stock cooling and i might be able to go higher but i don't know my current temps


how would i find them within windows

The AMD64 3500+ here will easily slide past 2.41ghz while seeing temps climb into the 50Cs with the Zalman CNS9500 installed. Both the Asus Probe I + II along with SpeedFan read precisely the same when compared. You can get SpeedFan free at http://www.download.com/SpeedFan/3000-2094_4-10067444.html The #1 temp reading is the cpu while the second is the board.
