Overclocking CPU

[Apokalipse]

if you want to run your RAM at the same speed, then don't use a divider. just go into the BIOS and increase the HTT, and possibly CPU core voltage

yea but increasing the htt increases the ram too im sure it does. maybe thats just for intel fsb. but i think its both

 

[Apokalipse]

it depends on what kind of RAM you use

kingston valueram pc3200 (ddr400)

that RAM isn't exactly designed for overclocking, but you may be able to get some more speed out of it.

no i said i didnt want to change the speed of it. u said just up the htt and i said yes but doesnt that increase the speed of the ram (which i dont want) i read that it does.

 

[Apokalipse]

yes, increasing the HTT also increases RAM speed. that is, unless you use a RAM divider

stock RAM speed is 200MHZ. if you use a 5:4 divider, you can put the HTT at 5/4 x 200 = 250MHZ and your RAM will stay at 200MHZ

ok so if i did as you just said wat speed would that make my cpu?

 

[Apokalipse]

your CPU has a multiplier of 11, so 250 x 11 = 2750MHZ
being a Toledo core, it should be stable at that.

thats great thanks a lot for ur help. ill run prime95 overnight to check its stable. btw u think that will b ok on stock cooling? i guess if its not ill know through prime.
