    Hi.

    Anyone here familiar with the ASUS P5K "vanilla" BIOS?
    Im having trouble understanding the CPU:FSB ratio setting.

    Normally i would see a 1:1 setting but i see only 1 digit, 7.
    And i know now that the ratio is 1:1 but how shuld i change it if the number says 7?
    Is that the CPU multiplier? i have a C2D e6300 with a mutli of 7.

    Im just a bit confused so help is accepted now:brrr:

    The setting you are looking at IS the multiplier, but for a weird reason it isn't actually called that. There isn't a ratio adjustment, you adjust that using the memory speed.

    That is what the extreme edition processors are for. Intel has been multiplier locking their CPUs for quite a while now. The extreme editions have their multiplier locks disabled though.
