Hi, my problem is that when i went to BIOS, i looked at every single option twice and none of them mention anything about my CPU, can someone please tell me how i can overclock my CPU through BIOS?
my motherboard: MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine), and the rest of my computer specs are here: http://tinyurl.com/csumgor

also multiplier is the easier way to overclock, the other one (dont quote me) also toys with the other componets (hd, gpu, etc) so don't go overboard...and the motherboard isn't made to overclock either, you best bet is to up it just slightly to were its stable on stock voltage

The bios is just a software program the same as any other, there are different versions for each board and manafacturers are always changing and updating them. Sounds like your out of luck and simply dont have overclocking options available.

Thank you both for trying to help, but is there any way i can unlock that feature? if not, do programs like AMD Overdrive work just as good?
Also, i looked at my motherboard specs here: http://tinyurl.com/l9cjoed
And in a section called "clearing the password settings", it says that "The BIOS password is used to protect BIOS settings from unwanted changes" and it says how i can unlock it; but does that actually unlock all of the features that the BIOS offers (including OCing)? if so, how do i actually do it? because i don't know what "the jumper" that it mentions is.

They didn't overclock via multiplier they used the other setting (i dunno what its called) but they way you get clock speed is by the things i.e. 100 is a normal speed, and the multiplier i.e. 36, 38, 40, 100x40 is 4000mhz...but once again the motherboard is locked too so you have to find the pin on the motherboard that has two pins connected by a black jumper, move it to the middle and right jumper, then move it back to the original jumpers, now your motherboard is unlocked good luck!
