It doesn't unlock a Multiplier, I am pretty sure that's not possible...maybe I didn't read through that whole guide, but I've never heard of that before....

All that pin-mod should do is increase the base FSB of the chip to 266/333 from 200 {FSB speed stock, X the Multi your chip has...in your case a 7X multi)...thus overclocking it without you having to change anything...So in theory at 333 that would kinda be a 2xmulti increase from stock, but if you OC beyond that, then you no longer have the benefits of the pin mod.

Hope that helps! :toast:

E4500 = 11
E4600 = 12 :eek:

So you have a fake chip im guessing

Good luck with your e8400 though, awesome chip from everything ive seen and heard

the pin mod raises the fsb that the cpu runs at, not the mulitplier.

however, somethings wrong with your story because the e4300 has a multiplier of 9x as stock, so you shouldn't have to "unlock" it so that you can get the 9x mulitplier.

@pancho

Hence my post above yours. e4300 = 9x200 vs e6300 = 7x266.

I am starting to think its either that or EIST is kicking in causing the multi to drop, therefore when he checks it he is at a system idle.
