It also wants to change the voltage.
It may not be able to if the voltage isn't on auto in the bios. But people
usually don't mess with it. The voltages in reduced speeds might not fit the
overclock.
For that reason I use CrystalCPUID. Though that has some issues. To change
the voltage the bios have to be on auto, at least on my nforce3. It will
only raise my 1.4v winnie to 1.45. This is enough for 2.4g, so it's ok with
me. I can specify 3 speeds and a voltage for each. But, It's booting at
stock voltage so it can't boot overclocked. I solved that by setting a low
enough multiplier for the cpu so it boots at a little under stock speed,
though the clock is high, and then when Crystal loads it takes over the
multipliers and voltages. To go faster than 2.4 gigs I'd simply have to set
the volts in the bios and give up lowering them.
