That doesn't matter, in fact in most situations, you'll be lowering the multi in this kind of config. In my example the multi is lowered from stock of x17 to x14.Calzinger said:What if your multiplier is already at max? My CPU multiplier is already at 10x.
You have some bad settings in your BIOS. At stock it should put the ratio so your RAM runs at full speed. Right now it is seriously underclocked. You should have FSB of 200 and RAM frequency of 275.Calzinger said:Is the ratio usually 1:1 on default? My FSB is at 200 with a 10x CPU multiplier, but when I do a CPU-Z, my RAM frequency shows up as 170mhz.
Basically yeah. Although I think most people find out the max CPU speed first, then find max FSB speed, then do the combination that gets as close to the max of both.@idiotec
So you basically want to raise your FSB as high as possible as much as your RAM can take under 1:1. The CPU can be handled with its own multiplier. If your CPU begins to crap out, then you just lower the CPU multiplier. Correct?
They should both be running at 200 actually, RAM speed should never (and can never) be run higher than the FSB. He can, however, lower the CPU multi and pump up the FSB speed to 275MHz with the RAM on a 1:1 ratio..You have some bad settings in your BIOS. At stock it should put the ratio so your RAM runs at full speed. Right now it is seriously underclocked. You should have FSB of 200 and RAM frequency of 275.
