7750BE

I recently got an ASUS M3A78-CM and a 7750BE (2.7Ghz).
When I go into the bios and change the multiplier the cpu still boots at 2.7ghz.
I thought that the BE chips were unlocked and could overclock without changing the FSB speed (HTT speed now i guess).
am I doing something wrong here?

Did you install the latest BIOS? It might not completely recognize your chip.
Black Edition chips are multi-unlocked.

yup just upgraded to the latest BIOS.. still no joy. Must be a mobo problem then?

Are you changing the right multiplier? Most boards have 3 multipliers now - the HTT multiplier, CPU multiplier and NB multiplier.

Try using AMD's Overdrive utility to overclock.

was able to figure it out.. had to downgrade the BIOS to 1003 then it started working.

thanks for the help.. the e-z flash utility for this mobo is amazing.. you can flash bios from within the bios (bios images on usb drive).. it's super easy.. I remember back in the day when you had to load on a floppy and boot into dos etc etc.
