Unlock Althon II X2 250

[overbound]

I just bought an Althon II X2 250 I'd like to overclock it a bit by increasing the Core Multiplier. The default multiplier seems to be 15x in as shown AMD Overdrive. The trouble is using either the bios or AMD Overdrive I there is no option to increase the multiplier beyond 15x. What do I do?

The board is a Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 MA78GM-US2H

the athlon II has a locked multi with no way to unlock it
you have to over clock it by increasing the base clock (normally 200)
befor you do this, look up how to OC

If you wanted an unlocked multiplier you should have gone with a Black Edition CPU. In order to overclock you need to raise the FSB, it should be at 200 by default. Raise in increments of 5 but make sure to raise the voltage as well. Let me know if you need any help with this task.

I used AMDs Overclock software to do that. I am too much of a newbie to be overclocking it manually. It overclocked to 3.8 MHZ the first time but I went down after on the second run. 3.4MHZ. I have the Athlon II 250 as well with the stock mutliplier at 200..I would listen to OVerclocker he seems to know what his doing.
