220x11 or 210x12?

Just like the title says.... what ya'll think?

11.5x220

id say 210x12 because 2.5 ghz looks much cooler then 2.4 ghz ;d

All other settings being equal those are about the same. Personally I would rather have a little extra memory bandwidth. Might be ready for 221fsb+ in a few weeks after you've been running at 220, you never know ;)

are you saying that if I ran mine unstable at say 205x 10 for a week or so then it woud eventually get more stable at higher bandwiths?

[WhiteHawk]

yes and no, it depends. sometimes hardware works better(faster) after "burning in".

Also, knowing that you can even push it to xmhz at a stable fsb lets you know that you can push it higher. IMO the "burning in" is just a myth, i've never benefitted from burning in at high settings/voltages.... maybe i'm just unlucky ;)

gona try the so called "burn in" for the next few days...probly 3 or 4 at 220x11 at 1.9Vcore then try the FSB_Sense mod :D , really wana hit 230 FSB... or be able to get more bandwith out of the ram :p

Does that 10mhz make a difference in your memory timings?

Generally with a burn in, you will want to lower the frequency to stock, and then up the vcore to something like 1.9v and run prime 95 for like 48hrs.

Seeing that a lot of people have benefitted from a burn-in leads me to belive it is not a myth. My 1700 hit a wall at 2400Mhz when I first got it. I did a burn-in and got it to 2530Mhz stable. I tend to atribute that to the burn in I did since it was the only thing I did to the system between those two overclocks.

I believe in burning in... I just do the slow burn. I set it to the max I can get, and maybe add about a slight voltage bump. After a few weeks, I can go further, generally an extra 25-75mhz. After that time, I get stable overclocks at settings that were unstable before.
