ThInK192 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 It depends. Are you OC'ing? If not then use the multiplier that runs the CPU at stock speed. If your OC'ing then I would choose the highest multiplier that runs a safe temp and stability. The multiplier is different for most mobos. So your going to have to play with the multiplier. Your multiplier adjusts CPU speed only. Read the manual to get a better understanding of what BIOS features do what. Knowing your components is very important when building your own rig. Let us know how it goes : ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
