Thread: Memory settings and when Overclocking

Quote: Originally Posted by Leeghoofd there's more to speed than just using a divider, some dividers work better ( we call them stronger ) each mobo type is different, so is each ram... you will have to work out which divider with what settings works best for you some examples to confuse you even more: 400FSB -- 1066mhz on the ram was faster than 425FSB and 1066Mhz on the ram (680i ) : why ? Because 680i chipset had a huge increase in...

All depends on chipset type mate, that's what I was trying to make clear to you... if you ever go with a mobo based on an Intel chipset get good high speed ram, latencies aren't that important Look here a quick test i did for ya ram at 800Mhz in sync C4-4-4-12 and then at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15... I...

Let’s use a CPU with a 9x multiplier and a 333mhz base clock, this means the CPU runs at 3.0Ghz. With 800mhz RAM you would run your system memory multiplier at 2.4. With 1066mhz RAM you would run your system memory multiplier at 3.2 With the above, whilst this would all be at stock speeds, if the...
