Hello, recently I tried increasing my multiplier for my CPU I3 4170 and I'm on *8 multiplier at the moment however when ever I increase the multiplier by 1 it doesn't show the bios and refuses to boot up to Windows. PC turns but doenst show Windows. I reset the battery then changed the multiplier back to *8 and everything is working fine. I raised my voltage up by .2 to 1.81v and it doesn't boot up either to the Windows page. So guys I would really like my PC to get a *37 multiplier as that's the maximum. At the moment my PC is running on 0.717MHZ and would like to get it to 3.699mhz as that's the maximum. My psu is 520W I think and I have a AMD Radeon 5570. Ordered the 750 ti. If anyone has a solution to this. Much appreciated

Simple, if it's not a "K" processor on overclockable MB it has locked multiplier and can't go any further.

But how comes I can increase the multiplier by *37. It would be possible if your allowed to select that option. Also the Intel Pentium G... can be overclocked to 4.3 ghz but doesn't have a K

A Pentium has no hypertreading but is unlocked and is meant for overclocking while the i3 has hypertreading but is locked

i3 is locked no way around unless u get a k cpu hyperthreading is good enough ur i3 got more balzy grunt u dont need to mess with them i3 hassys r prety good ram the right ram spec & the 13 hyperthreading will utilize the ram
