Since AMD CPU's have a double pumped FSB, your multiplier is 12.5x (2x6.25=12.5)

You shouldn't even have to set the multiplier switches unless the CPU has an unlocked multiplier and you are trying to overclock, the bios should autodetect it.

it should have the switches configured for autodetect straight from the factory. sounds to me like you have a gigabyte board.

Which motherboard is this? I didn't know that the newer motherboards used dip switches anymore. Are you using a old motherboard?

the gigabyte 7N400 Pro2 and the Ga-7VT600 board have dip switches to set the multiplier.
