Notes:
- The jumper settings in the charts below
are meant to represent jumper settings on a motherboard. They
do not necessarily reflect the state of the multiplier pins (high
or low) on the bottom of the processor. See the link at the bottom
of the page for the actual multiplier pin settings.
- A pin on the processor which is pulled
'High' is tied to the power plane. A pin which is pulled 'Low'
is tied to the ground plane. Pins that are not tied to either
the power or ground planes are considered 'floating'.
- BF0, BF1, and BF2 actually refer to multiplier
pins on the bottom of a processor. They are not typical jumper
names on a motherboard. The jumper will be called something like
JP27 or J5 on the motherboard. I used the BF# convention to indicate
that there is a corresponding jumper on the motherboard, the name
of which will vary depending on the motherboard manufacturer.
- These charts only list theoretical
speed settings. They come from the multipliers available on the
various chips and the bus speeds present on motherboards.
- The reference clock on modern motherboards
usually oscillates at 14.31818MHz for input to the PLL circuit.
The PLL then generates a selectable range of bus speed frequencies
for the motherboard.

Notes:
- 1Pentium OverDrive processors
(P24T) have a set multiplier of 2.5x.
- 486 processors which require a 4.0x multiplier
use the 2.0x setting.
- Neither DX nor DX2 chips have clock multiplier
pins, and so ignore any multiplier setting on the motherboard.
An exception is the AMD DX2 Enhanced, which has 2.0x and 3.0x
multipliers.
- 33MHz bus speed actually runs at 33.3333...
.
- 'Off' is an Open jumper.
- 'On' is a Closed jumper.

Notes:
- The AMD K5 has multipliers of 1.5x, 1.75x,
and 2.0x. Setting the motherboard to 1.5x or 2.0x will be interpreted
by the processor as a 1.5x multiplier. 2.5x is interpreted as
1.75x, and 3.0x becomes 2.0x. This varies depending on the model
of the chip. See below for which chips have what multipliers.
- The AMD K6 233 and the Pentium MMX 233
interpret a 1.5x multiplier as 3.5x. 233MHz is the maximum limit
for the Intel chip since it does not have a multiplier higher
than 3.5x.
- The Model 8 K6-2 CXT, Model 9 K6-3, and
Model D K6-2+ and K6-III+ are the only Socket 7 chips with a 6.0x
multiplier (it takes the place of the 2.0x multiplier).
- For 4.0x and higher multipliers on the
K6, there must be a jumper on the motherboard to set pin BF2 or
the chip will default to 'Pulled High', and only give a maximum
of 3.5x multiplier. BTW, the AMD K6 does not have a 1.5x multiplier
at all.
- The IDT (Centaur) Winchip and Winchip-2
do not have fractional multipliers. The normal 2.5x setting is
defined as 'reserved', and the 1.5x setting is interpreted by
the chip as 4.0x. When BF2 is added to the motherboard, the typical
settings for 4.5x and 5.5x are 'reserved'. 4.0x and 5.0x are unchanged.
- The IDT (Centaur) Winchip-2A adds the
unusual 2.33x and 2.66x multipliers in place of the 5.0x and 5.5x
settings.
- Default multiplier settings (If
the chip receives no signal on its multipliers pins (they're left
'floating'), it reverts to its default setting.):
- AMD K5 - 1.5x
- AMD K6/K6-2/K6-3/K6-2+/K6-III+ - 3.5x
- Cyrix/IBM 6x86/6x86L/6x86MX/M-II -
2.0x
- Cyrix M-II (later versions w/ CLKMUL2)
- 3.0x
- IDT (Centaur) Winchip/Winchip-2/Winchip-2B
- 4.0x
- IDT (Centaur) Winchip-2A/Winchip-3
- 3.5x
- Intel Pentium Classic - 1.5x
- Intel Pentium w/ MMX - 2.0x
- Rise mP6 - 2.0x
- The 62MHz and 68MHz settings are referred
to as a 'turbo frequency'.
- 62MHz actually runs at 62.5MHz.
- 66MHz actually runs at 66.66MHz.
- 68MHz actually runs at 68.66MHz.
- 83MHz actually runs at 83.33MHz.
- 133MHz actually runs at 133.33MHz.
- 'Off' is an Open jumper.
- 'On' is a Closed jumper.
The following chart lists all of the possible
multipliers with each chip and what the motherboard setting is to
get that multiplier. To use the chart, look at the top row and find
what multiplier you want the chip to have. Then look at the leftside
column for which chip. Where they meet on the chart shows what jumper
setting(s) on the motherboard to use to achieve that multiplier
with that specific chip.

Notes:
1.) CLKMUL and BF are the same thing. CLKMUL is the Clock
Multiplier on Cyrix/IBM chips. BF is the Bus Fraction (or
Bus Frequency) on Intel chips. AMD, IDT, and Rise follow Intel's
naming convention.
2.) In many cases, the motherboard manual will simply list
all of the possible jumper settings with each chip to avoid
having to decipher all this nonsense.
3.) Some versions of the Pentium Classic and Pentium w/ MMX
chips have had their higher multipliers disabled. See Windwalker's
site for more details.
4.) You can use ctcm16r to check the family,
model, and stepping of the processor.
5.) If your Intel Pentium w/ MMX chip doesn't seem to be responding
to the 3.0x and 3.5x multipliers (and you're sure it isn't
a remarked chip), your motherboard may not be sending the
correct signal to pin BF0 on the chip. Intel has a
page describing the phenomenon. It occurs because Intel
redefined the BF0 pin so that it has a pulldown resistor rather
than the pullup that the Pentium Classic had. Some motherboard
manufacturers may have assumed that the settings were the
same, and decided to save a couple of pennies by not having
the motherboard properly set the pin.
6.) The step 3.0 Rise mP6 chips have an errata that makes
the 3.0x and 3.5x multipliers unusable. This is fixed in stepping
4.1b and later.

Notes:
- The Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors
don't actually have 'BF' pins. Instead, they temporarily use four
pins that have other signal descriptions to set the internal bus
frequency (BF) at RESET and then hold that value until another
active RESET is asserted. The pins used are LINT0 (INTR), IGNNE#,
A20M#, and LINT1 (NMI).
- More and more Pentium II systems are coming
in jumperless configurations. The bus speeds and multipliers are
set through the BIOS rather than with jumpers on the motherboard.
- The newest Pentium III Coppermine and
Celeron chips have multipliers beyond those specified using the
four pin settings originally defined on the Pentium Pro. Intel
either redefined some (all?) of the pin settings or uses the 'Reserved'
setting for the needed multipliers on each separate speed rating.
Though this point is rather moot considering that Intel locks
the multiplier on all their current CPUs; only engineering samples
can have their multiplier selected by the motherboard.
- Socket 8 motherboards generally do not
have bus speeds higher than 75MHz.
- 66MHz actually runs at 66.66MHz.
- 68MHz actually runs at 68.66MHz.
- 83MHz actually runs at 83.33MHz.
- 133MHz actually runs at 133.33MHz.
- 'Off' is an Open jumper.
- 'On' is a Closed jumper.
