CPU multiplier help please!!!!!!

[gerruti]

Someone tell me how to change my cpu multiplier on an asus p5n32-sli premium. I have searched everything in the bios and cannot find it anywhere.

 

[itotallybelieveyou]

if you are ocing oc your front side bus not your multiplier

 

[gerruti]

I cant get it to 1:1 with my ram if I do that. I need to lower my multiplier so I can run my ram at 800 and have my e6600 at 3.2. So I want to lower my multiplier to 8x400.

Do you have the manual for the mobo? If not you can download it here.

That should tell you how to go about it.

 

[gerruti]

Yeah I checked it doesn't tell how to change the multiplier, only the fsb.

 

[Sparky6string]

I did a quick search and apparently that board does not allow you to adjust the multiplier. Kinda strange. Do you have the latest bios?

 

[gerruti]

Yes I do. This is stupid. I read all kinds of review before I bought this motherboard and they were good. It was like $220 when I bought it. There are people with boards that are $100 less and they have this feature. I guess im screwed.

 

[Sparky6string]

Too late to return it?

 

[gerruti]

Lol, yeah most definately.

 

[Sparky6string]

Regardless, I'm sure you can overclock it to good effect.

 

[gerruti]

Ok well I wanted to get it to 3.2 but I wont have the 1:1. So do you think its better to have the 3.2 with some other ratio, rather than 3.0 and a 1:1 ratio.

 

[gerruti]

What would the front side bus have to be to get 3.2 out of e6600. I was thinking it would have to be 1424, but how stable would that really be?

 

[Sparky6string]

FSB would have to be 355 MHz. With a x2 multiplier that would run your memory at 710 MHz 1:1. I think I'd squeeze as much out of the memory as you can though.

 

[gerruti]

Ok 355, so what would the rated fsb, 1420?
