Gar and others, Do you know what causes the board (if it is teh Board) to change the muilti on its own. I have had the same thing happen, it would go from 6x when i checked it in windows, then another time while in bios it was at 8x. it was very confusing since i knwo i did nto change it, is there sum kind of auto multiplier? that maybe changes it depending on heat or how it feels, haha.
