Hello.
I have an AMD Athlon II x2 250 OC'ed @ 3600MHz, and my RAM is running at DDR2-800 (400MHz).
I looked around the Internet, and it seems that AMD-based systems run best with a 1:1 DRAM:FSB ratio. Is this still true for the K10 family?
My FSB doesn't seem to effect anything directly -- everything runs at a multiple or divider of the FSB. If I need to shoot for 1:1, and not change the speed of any of my other components at what speed would I need to run my RAM?
CURRENT SETTINGS:
CPU: Athlon II x2 250 @3600MHz (15x240)
FSB: 240
CPU-NB (IMC): 2400MHz
HT Link: 1920MHz
RAM: DDR2-800 5-5-5-18 (my mobo won't allow timing changes, but I'm looking into ways to flash the SPD)
I read that it actually hurts performance to not run at 1:1 on AMD CPU based systems.
Any help is appreciated.
