I have an Abit AN8. It has an 'overclocking guru' that is pretty neat, but there is no way to adjust the multiplier. The only adjustment through the 'guru' or even the bios is the external clock.

For instance, I have the 3200+ which runs at 200MHz with a 10x multiplier... so the stock speed is 2000MHz. Adjusting the external clock will jump it up, but there are no multiplier adjustments in the 'guru', and 10x is the max in the bios. Currently, I have the external clock at 216MHz, so the machine runs at 2160MHz.

How do I change the multiplier?

Parts...
Abit AN8 (non SLI) motherboard. Latest Bios update. version 17
939 pin 3200+ Athlon 64 w/coolermaster heatsink/fan
2 gig Mushkin Green Line PC3200 ram
Chaintech 6600GT video card
Windows XP with all updates

Thanks!

You don't.

AMD Athlons have the multiplier locked upwards. So you could change it to 8, but not 12. To have that ability you need to buy an FX (55/57).
