How do I raise the multiplier?

How do I raise the multiplier or decrease it, because on my 1.2GHz Duron it won't let me go higher than 12.0, I don't know if I can raise maybe I can't, but I'm not sure can someone help me out please!

Thanks in advance!

You will have to unlock it to raise or lower the multi.
You could raise FSB

In my BIOS it wont let it seems stuck on 12 even when I use the Soft Menu to change it to 12.5 or 13 it still stays at 12. Why is that, and what do I need to do?

I think you should be able to unlock it by using the pencil method.

for all that and a whole load of other info look at:

Thanks I've manged to do it now!

a better idea than just raising the mulitplier would be to probably lower the mulitplier some and then raise the fsb, u get more performance that way, having more fsb is better than having a higher multiplier, the system bus is the speed at which u communicate with other devices, and if u have a higher sytem bus, the overall performance would improve, good luck on ocing

ps, always try to keep ur ram and pci freqs in spec, dont go above the pci freqs, u can corrupt ur os files that way, and raising the memory freq too high would just make ur system unstable, or it just wont POST. another thing, raise ur fsb as high as possible, then raise ur multi, that would tiled the best results, and if u wanna know more about OCing, u can just check out the stickies around

Click to expand...

he has a cpu that is locked.. so that means he cant lower it either

but someone posted earlier to do the pencil trick, so that means it IS unlocked
