so yeah now that Crysis is coming soon I thought it was about time to finally overclock. After doing a lot of reading I thought I had everything set but then I ran into this helpful guide:
Gigabyte P965-XXX overclocking and BIOS tweaking Guide - [H]ard|Forum
strangely enough this guy recommends a 7x multipler and 400 fsb ( for the most common ddr2 pc6400 800mhz ram ) instead of the 9x multiplier and 300ish fsb that I was opting for. I'm guessing the main reason hes doing this is to maintain a 1:1 ratio? Really we have to compose a large thread with success/failure stories of overclocking the q6600/ds3r
