Ok so I have OC my system a few times but not sure what I am really doing. I need to find the best settings for my system.
MB Gigabyte EP43-DS3
RAM 6 Gig PC2-6400 DDR2 (400)Mhz ?
BIOS V9 - MIT intelligent Tweaker
GTX260
E8500 CPU 3.16
OS Win7 Ultimate 64bit
Ok so 1 thing I am confused about is in BIOS the memory frequency shows two numbers in blue like this:
Memory frequency 800 800 I some times have had 800 1066
Now in CPU-Z my memory shows as PC2-6400 (400Mhz) - whats the numbers all mean? what is my memory frequency? what should the memory in BIOS say? How do I get this to be 1:1 or at least perfect for my system?
the other thing is I have changed the FSB from 333 to get my system up to 3.30 and 3.40 Mhz clock speed but have not adjusted and voltages as I am not sure I should. I found it runs fine with low temps at 3.30 but this increases the ram numbers and I don't know if it's a good thing or bad.
Right now I have it back at stock. Ram shows 800 1066 FSB 333
So please I would really appreciate any advice on settings here that will make my system fly better if possible oh and soon I will change the CPU to a Quad 9400 already ordered.
I use FSX alot so this is why I need to make it as good as I can.
