I asked this at the end of another thread I had started but I think it is getting buried due to the thread title.
I have never overclocked a system, or watercooled one, but decided to watercool one just as a project for fun, well I'm impressed with the cooling, that I might as well overclock it as well.
I have been reading and doing some math based on these forums.
I guess Hardware Specs would be good at this point:
GA-P35-DS3R Motherboard
Q6700 Processor
Crucial Ballistix Ram - PC2-8500
8800 GTS 512MB BFG OC card.
What I was wondering is if I understand everything I have read corretly, Stock settings on the board are:
FSB: 266
CPU Clock Mulitplier: x10
Ram Multiplier: x4
If I wanted to do this right and 1:1 like everyone talks about, still unclear at to the real advantage, I should be looking at settings like this.
FSB: 533
CPU Multiplier: x6
Ram Multiplier: x2
That would set me up at 1:1 and give a little overclock to about 3.2 GHz. That's if I am doing the math right.
Then from there If I wanted to mess around more and still stay at 1:1 The only real adjustment I have is to take the CPU Multi from 6 to 7, Which would be taking it to 3.7, which I'm not even sure if that is too agressive or not.
Any opinions or suggestions, would be much appreciated.
And what is with the multiple Memory Multiplier settings on this board. It seems that there are sevel x4 entries, and I'm not exactly clear what they mean. Anyone help on this question?
