When adjusting overclock settings in the BIOS for Intel K-processors, you typically work with full increments like 100 MHz or 200 MHz steps. It's not standard to adjust between 50 MHz and 100 MHz unless specifically configured, so stick to whole numbers unless your system allows finer tuning.

Depends on the bios. You don't pick a number, there's a menu, a list of numbers that'll usually range from next to nothing pathetic to closer to 67 or better. If the menu goes up by 100MHz increments, for the multiplier, that's what you get. If you want to change that to add a fraction more or less, you need to also mess with BCLK, bump it to 103.7 etc, but that's not advised much for Intel cpu's, BCLK is best left at 100.0 during manual OC.

The CPU determines the step size for multipliers. Reducing the BCLK can also facilitate incorporating an additional multiplier.
