First, if it is working at the correct speed, what is the problem. Second, the multiplier is normally set automatically on most modern motherboards, so even if your manual jumpers can only go to 12.5, the board is capable of autosetting itself for the 15x. The manual jumpers are only there for people that want to run their processors at something other than the default. -- /g
