oc'ing an msi mobo

[alanj]

iv got an MSI P43 Neo3-F mobo and am pretty happy with it. No real problems except I cant figure out how to change the multiplier in the BIOS. There is absolutely no option to do so. My CPU is oc capable and ready, and I have even located the fsb adjustment, but as far as the multi goes, i cant find it.

Anyone have experience with this mobo and can help me out?

Thanks in advance

Your CPU has a locked multiplier. You overclock it by increasing the CPU FSB Frequency

that or because the P43 chipset is usually more limited than their big brother P45

Im pretty sure my cpu isnt locked as iv read many cases where it has been easily oc'd, its the Intel E3200.
And even in a previous post I had on this forum its possible to oc, but I think the main thing is the mobo. Thats why Iw as checking to see if anyone had this particular model and knew how to do it.

Heres my previous post that says the E3200 can be oc'd:

Yes, your E3200 can be overclocked. However, you don't overclock your particular cpu by raising the Multiplier. You overclock it by increasing the CPU FSB Frequency.
