Hey all, I recently overclocked my FSB to achieve a divider of 1:1 ratio with the ram. FSB Stock is 333 ...Overclocked to 400. Lowered the CPU Multiplier and have a slight Memory overclock over 1:1 @ 960mhz. I figure the closer it is to 1:1 the better anyways. My question is , weither i need to increase the voltages on the NB and by how much to maintain stability @ 400, or if I should increase voltages at all??

If your RAM is running 1:1 with your FSB, and your FSB is 400MHz, your RAM should be running 800MHz effective. To test for stability, run Prime95 Small FFT or Orthos Small FFT. It focuses mainly on your CPU (rather then a blend of your RAM and CPU).

You Misunderstood me, My CPU is 7.5 Multi becuz im maintaining my 3.0 Ghz without overclocking (Not until I get my CPU Cooler in anyway) , But i guess what i was asking is, Is there a way to test NB Stability? I have it @ 400mhz now, and there is NB Voltage settings, so i figure mabe its a NB Overclock that would need more voltages. (Keep in mind, my cpu is still running stock speed @ 7.5 Multi rather then 9.0)

Oh, I gotcha now. Run the Blend option in Prime95.

With an FSB of only 400 MHz you shouldn't need to increase the vNB past the default of 1.25 - 1.33v

Thank you for that straight answer.
