Wull ummm...if it's unlocked then why don't you just run both the processor AND the memory at 200+?

Click to expand...

That is lowering the multiplifier and increasing the FSB? if possible i want to keep stock settings. Anyway will that give me a better performance than using the ratio setting in the BIOS?

Running the proc in synch with the ram is always desirable especially on an nForce2 chipset which is what's on your NF7 mobo. This will yield more performance. If you have an unlocked cpu then go for it. Lower the multi and jack up the fsb to 200 at least.

Yes. 10x200 is always better than 166x12 if your hardware can handle it, and in this case it almost certainly can.
