Wow... I know, a lot of posts for one night... but this is it.
Quickly let me explain where I am. I decided to bring my processor down and start trying to overclock my RAM and keep it going up with the FSB. Given, it is value RAM, but it is the same value RAM that is in my other post, so I figured why not? I am stable at these two spots.
Overclock 1:
FSB.....................250 MHz
CPU....................250 MHz x 9 = 2250 MHz
RAM:FSB ratio......5:6
RAM....................~208 MHz
Overclock 2:
FSB.....................225 MHz
CPU....................225 MHz x 9 = 2025 MHz
RAM:FSB ratio......1:1
RAM....................225 MHz
You'll notice that in Overclock 2, my RAM has a 1:1 ratio with the FSB, and as I've been reading, this is what I want so that nothing bottlenecks and everything can communicate alright. However, in Overclock 1, my CPU reached a higher clock speed with the RAM and FSB at a different frequency. My question is fairly simple to the pros, I am sure. What is the better overclock? Sacrificing the clock speed for the 1:1 ratio, or letting the RAM run a little slower than the FSB for a faster clock speed?
