Currently i am stable at 2.5 ghz 12.5 x 200, but i found a way to get 2.6 ghz stable under 2.0 vcore 186 x 14. Which would be better to stay with, the higher fsb or the higher multi?

hmm , one you got a higher FSB other you got a higher Mhz.
can you tell a speed dif from one or the other

In general a higher FSB will result in a higher memory bandwidth as well as a corresponding increase in internal CPU frequency if you run your memory in sync.
It depends on what you are trying to do benchmarks? Drystone and whetstones will yield higher with the higher mhz, but most other benchmarks, 3dmarks and pcmark usually show higher results with higher fsbs. In terms of everyday use, I would bet money you would not notice the difference

Yea i don't really notice much of a difference, so im conflicted on what to stay with. I guess whichever one i get lower temps with is the one i'll stay with.

thats what id do if they both seem to be = performance , then which even one has a lower temp
or try playing with a lil lower multi and lil higher FSB , and see what you get

I've tried to use a lower multiplier with a higher fsb like 13 x 200. I can only get it stable with 2.06 volts in the bios, which then undervolts to 1.985-2.0 which is too much for me. I might try 208 x 12.5 also. Temps are what im watching most right now. Its about 33c ambient temperature right now (damn california weather) and my idle temp at 2.5 ghz is around 40-42 and load is 45-48. So i just want to get a little higher overclock and possibly better temperatures.
