l3l21 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Hello guyz. I need some expert advice about fsb:dram ratio im currently @ 3.2 Ghz 1333 fsb ( 337 x 9.5) 1.186v. Its pretty stable havent experienced any BSOD's yet. However i always find overclocking guides saying that fsb:dram ratio is always best at 1:1 but im using ddr2 800 thats why i need 400 fsb to achieve 1:1 atm im at 5:6 ratio. My question is will i gain anything by adjusting my OC to 400x8 which is the same but will give me 1:1 ratio and another question is which part will heat up when i raise the front side bus to 1600 the chipset or the procie? and will raising 1600 fsb need another raise in voltage? im srry for the newbie question i just want my oc just to be stable and correct. thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumX Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Then you have no reason not to do it. Your NB temps may rise about 3 degrees, but nothing to worry about. If you run the 1:1 ratio you will easily get more than 1GB/S bandwidth increase with your RAM. I am currently running my FSB at 420MHz with a 1:1 divider and I get about 7.2GB/S bandwidth.

QuantumX Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Try increasing your RAM voltage to 2.0 or 2.05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
