Why does the multiplier "turn down"

Supercow · 15 Sep 2007 at 11:00

Was a tad inebriated last night, and decided to overclock my pc further, which in retrospect is probably not the smartest of moves

When I tried to start the PC up this morning, it wouldn't boot - no surprise there.

I reset everything to optimised defaults, and started again. My multiplier is set to, and always was 7 in the BIOS but when it now boots the multiplier lowers itself to 6.
As soon as I boot up, I start up CPU-Z and see it go down from 7 down to 6.

Can anyone tell me what I missed or what I'm not doing?

ps: Gigabyte DS3p mobo

Ah, never heard of that before.
Where do I turn it off, can't seem to find it.

disable EIST in the bios or it might just say speedstep
