Finding the multiplier

I'm OCing right now and am having trouble finding the multiplier in the BIOS. I heard somewhere that there are two different multipliers, the HTT and the processor multiplier, but I'm not really sure on that, and I heard that the HTT is called LDT is the DFIs BIOS. I can up the FSB wiht no problems, but there are also the:

LDT/FSB frequency ratio which is at Auto and can go from 1-5
LDT bud transfer width which is (up arrow) 16 (down arrow) 16and can go 8, 8; 8, 16; 16,8 as well
CPU/FSB frequency ratio which is at Auto and can go from 4-9

CPUz says that my HTT is at x9.0 and my FSB is 223 (originally 200). Just wondering how I can jack the multiplier. The multiplier might be in a different section, but I didn't think so because I'm in the section which is sub-titled "change the CPU clock and voltage". Any help would be great.

Thanks:)

read oc101, it clearly says that the mulitplier is locked on most new cpu's
(expect the fx series)
 
but there is a way (very dangerous one) i tried it and it works

The old XPs were unlockable, but I wouldn't expect many people to try and unlock an A64 and if any did I doubt they'd have much success.
 
Why do they lock it in the first place though?

Because ts about the most effective way of overclocking, if you can get from a 11x multi up to a 21 then its quite a performance gain. At a standard FSB of 133, the 11x gets you 1463Mhz, by simply raising a simple multi you can get 2793Mhz. I know that example was a tad exaggerated and would need some kind of PSU to back it but you see what im getting at.

we'll i have a venice 3000+ that runns as a 4000+ here at home. so its definately possible ;)

I wish people would not say this. A more correct thing would say I overcloked it to X speed. A athlon 64 3000+ can never be a athlon 4000+. First of all they use differnt cores. Secound of all they have a difference amount of cache.

the correct way to say what I believe you mean you did is "I overclocked my 3000+ to 2.4ghz".
 
Is it the 3000+ that your trying to oc? the multiplyer is locked on it.

Actually for Athlon64s the multiplier is only uplocked.

Because they want to sell the higher grade models :) If people could simply buy a lowgrade model and unlock it.... they wouldnt sell any of the highgrade ones

Not that simple ... just because the Athlon64 FX can handle a 25.0x multiplier doesnt mean it'll work.

Can the 64 x2 series be oc'd?

Yes K9s can be OCd.
