All current processors have a multiplier. Even if it's a special unlocked engineering CPU, you still have to set a multiplier for it to work.
 
Since all CPU's have a multiplier if your MB only has a few and your CPU goes over that then it will still run with the CPU's multiplier even if that multiplier does not show in BIOS.
 
i am just wondering if the cpu never had beed defind a multiplyer would the mobo allow you to cahnge it
 
...so i can just break off the legs that transmit the cpu multiplyer and set it my self?
 
NO

Don't go breaking any legs off your CPU......

All chips have a multiplier. The only chips that didn't have a multiplier were 66Mhz and slower. They just ran at the bus speed.

Yes, the CPU tells the motherboard what mult to use. But if you cut those legs off you'll never boot that CPU. You'll kill it. It's not that simple.
