When i raise my cpu frequency. My multiplier automaticly lowers. 200 *9 =1800 (stock) if i try 300 *9 the 9 automatic becomes a 6 keeping it at (stock) 1800 mhz. It's frustating. I'm using cpu id to check the frequency and mulitiplier. What could the cause? Also, the manual shows a cpu ratio control but i'm guessing that maybe its for unlocked cpu's because, it's not there.link to the manual:http://www.biostar.com.tw/upload/Manual/P4M90-M7A_P4M89-M7B_0611C_BQ.exe

Manually set the CPU multiplier, CPU freq, CPU voltage, RAM freq, RAM timings, RAM voltage, lock the PCI-E at 100MHz, disable Spread Spectrum. Keep the CPU:DRAM freq ratio at 1:1

I don't find a option to lock the multiplier. It shows a option in the manual but not in the bios.
I might end up emailing biostar.

I found out from Tom's. Speed stepping is what was causing my multiplier to fluctuate. I ran orthos and my e2160 at load runs 300*9 2.7 and at idle 300*6 1800.
I'm really impressed. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this chip.
Summary: Hi Ricky, first of, overclocking can make your cpu and/or system faster but that doesn't mean in every case that you also get extra performance while gaming. For example, if you have an older graphic ...

Summary: Yes, the multiplier of the Athlon64 with Cool'n Quiet are only fixed at the high end. This allows the board to underclock the cpu to keep it cool if you don't need the additional power. If you want a ...
