Hi, im not new to the overclocking scene, but im not a pro either, so would like a few tips if possible i have been tinkering with my FX-4300 to see how far it will go with my current setup (specs below), because im not planning on upgrading until the new AMD gen pops up or until i burn this one i would like to know what is the diference between OC by multiplier or FSB besides the basics and if there is any chart or common knowledge of which one is better or gives better values ? So far ive been able to push this baby far more with multiplier then FSB (4.8ghz vs 4.4ghz respectively) but obviously each has its benefits ? Pls bare in mind that GPU and MB aside this is a poor man's PC
