An OC query - I should know better, but..

Sorry about this.

Just got a GA-EP43-DS3 m/b with an e5200.

It is letting me change the clock multiplier and when booting it shows me the speed as bus x new clock.

I thought I couldn't change the clock, or is it lying?


BTW what should the 2.5 default clock and bus speeds be?

Thanks

Believe default is 250 x 10 on those chips

Intel chips are locked as having a max multiplier you can use, you can lower it but not go past 10. The extreme series CPU's have this unlocked so can go to 10,11,12,13,14,15 etc

So any idea why the MB is letting me change the clock to 12?

Also the default bus speed on the MB is 266.

When I boot it shows the speed as 3.3 [12.5 x266]
