i can't overclock with my asus a7n8x motherboard. i've booted into bios and
i increased multiplier by 5% but then when i checked my multiplier setting
after reboot it still shows old number. i used one small utility to read my
mobo settings. if anyone has this motherboard and can tell me why this isn't
taking effect and what i should do to get it to work

First you need to post what you are using
chip? memory? etc etc

Try to increase Fsb
