Hi guys,
I have the Nvidia 680i SLI board, and a Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz E6600 (OC'ed to 3Ghz).
Now, apparently, it does 1066/1333Mhz FSB.
Today, I cranked my FSB settings up in the BIOS to 1500Mhz, just out of curiosity (I've successfully been running my PC overclocked at 3Ghz until now). Which now means I'm roughly running at 3.3Ghz (FSB 375Mhz x 9 (multiplier) = 3.3Ghz.
Now, I'm getting a little confused with myself. If my board can do a max of 1333Mhz FSB, and my CPU FSB is 1500Mhz, does that mean my boards creating a bit of a bottle neck? A CPU running at 1500Mhz on a board capable of doing a max of 1333Mhz FSB?
Also, should I be doing anything with the multiplier? It's currently set at its default (9), but with 1500 OC'ed FSB, should I be lowering it?
Can someone please put me out of my misery and explain? Cheers guys.
