Hi, I'm kind of new at overclocking, but I still have "some" knowledge about it. I tried overclocking my cpu. I changed my clock speed to 144. I changed the multiplier to 13 but in wcpuid it says my multiplier is still 11. Is this because I didn't unlock my cpu? If I do have to unlock my cpu what conductive ink should I use? btw I have a abit kx7-333. Can someone please help me?

What was the origianl speed of your CPU and when you overclocked it what is that speed now. Let us know and then we can tell you whether WCPUID is wrong or what.

With my CPU FSB clock at 133 and the multiplier at 11, my internal clock is 1467.29. Then I changed the multiplier to 13 and kept the cpu clock at 133 and the internal clock didn't change. With my cpu clock at 144 and my multiplier at 13 the internal clock is 1586 or something like that...

133*11=1463mhz 144*11=1584mhz
Your multiplier won't change until you unlock your cpu. By the way, you didn't mention your temps. you are watching them I hope? max load temp for Amd approx.60c, burnout temp. approx.90c as per AMD. Realistically better not to go above 55-58c max load temp. I don't advise o/c'ing with a stock hsf, you didn't state.

Nah I'm not running on stock. I have MBM 5 and watchin the temps but I still need to figure out how to configure it. lol. Well I have 3 fans blowing in and 2 fans blowing out. Volcano 9 fan at full speed. Dual fans for my powerbox northbridge fan and ram sinks. So where can I get some conductive silver laquer? Thanks.
