Went into the bios and changed the fsb from 200 to 254 to oc to 2.8. what happens is the minimum multiplier (shown in bios) drops from 11 to 10. The fsb shows 1006 (was800) and the cpu shows 2546 (was 2400) in cpuz, What am I doing wrong?

When you need the extra performance, the CPU will overclock itself to the maximum multiplier. And the FSB change is normal; since you increase the FSB, the rated FSB should increase as well (the rated FSB is FSB*4 on Intel CPUs) :)

Edit: If you don't believe me, use Orthos while watching the CPU frequency in cpuz.
 
Turn off cool and quiet, it is lowering the multi when the cpu clocks are not needed.

No, you are changing the front side bus (fsb)

(This is between the cpu and the northbridge)

Oh hi ring. k, done that and running orthos the core speed stays at 2540. Seems like I'm missing somethnig cuz the fsb is set at 254 which should have taken the core to 2800. FSB shows 1015. I noticed the minimum cpu multiplier went from 11 to 10 as shown in the bios after changing the FSB. Cool and Quiet has always been disabled.
 
Open cpuz, press printscreen, paste it in paint, save as jpeg, upload to image shack, paste link here.
 
Hmm make sure its the right one, and try pasting it straight into paint.
 
Hmm well i dont know whats wrong then lol, make sure all automatic overclocking and cool and quiet ect is switched off in the bios itself.
 
k, got it needed to press the function button on keyboard for some reason I'll upload now. lol.
 
That points to my images, can you load up the image and use the image tags build into the forum?
 
No, can you open the image full screen then post the direct link with the .jpg on the end.
 
The fsb listed in the asus window isnt your real physical fsb. So your multi seems to be 10, is there anyway to get it back up to what it should be in bios?

What is the stock clock of your cpu?

Edit: the stock frequency is 2400mhz so this means your multi should be 12 not 10.

Correct, in the bios it had a minimum of 11 and maximum of 12 listed as the locked clock speed so I changed my FSB to 233 and it change the core only slightly so I changed it to 254, 2800 divided by 11=254 and it changed it to what see in cpu-z.

Your multiplier seems to be 10 in the cpuz you uploaded...
 
That is strange, try clearing your CMOS and re entering the settings turning cool and quiet off.
 
Oh right, hmm update your bios to the latest version.
