amang Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 What are the real differences between: - High FSB x Low Multiplier = X Ghz and - Low FSB x High Multiplier = X Ghz What are the pros and cons? How each method of overclocking can benefit in terms of performance, stability, and temp? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 As far as I know , the only difference is stability . The lower FSB and higher multi gives more stability . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about the question in this thread for a while now and I want to learn more about this for my own benefit as well Is it true that, although the lower FSB + higher Multi give you more stability, it sorta limits the amount you can tweak your overclock and thus sometimes doesn't allow you to reach a higher yet stable OC?

I dont think so , the only disadvantage is that it makes it harder to oc ram . I for example am unable to get 2000mhz on my ram with anything higher than a 16.5 multi and still be at 4.2ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
