Yeah pretty much, unless the manufacturor locks it (mainly oems), a new mobo have fsb unlocked, but multipliers are locked on cpuAgent_Dung_Bomb wrote:
They can't really lock the FSB. Either your board simply lacks the BIOS options to manually adjust this, or you must change the BIOS option from Auto to Manual.ghettoperson wrote:

Unfortunatly, I have to wait till I get my Conroe chip, till I can OC, as for some reason, my computer has both the FSB and the muliplyer locked.BigglesPiP wrote:

This guy knows his stuff.
You probably dont need to OC a FX-57 its pretty fast on its own. If you do make sure u get one hell of a heatsink.
Yeah, OEMs aren't too keen on offering o/c options in the BIOS. That's when you look to utlils like SoftFSB.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

OEM's can lock the FSB (Dell do).
And some cheap motherboards don't offer any way of changing it manually.

I know for a fact that the ASUS A8N-32 doesn't have a locked FSB. You need to set it to manual
