Question Higher BCLK or faster memory clock?


I mainly need my system to perform for photography work (Adobe apps) and while I'm able to get the below speeds, my memory clock is going to be lower when the BCLK is high. Should I be lowering the BCLK so I can pump my ram at a faster clock?

CPU: 181 x 22 = 3.98 GHz; RAM: 181 x 8 = 1448 Mhz
CPU: 170 x 22 = 3.74 GHz; RAM: 170 x 10 = 1700 Mhz

My RAM isn't stable enough to go 181 x 10, so am I better off with a lower BCLK? Thanks in advance.

take both, drop the multi down to 20 and up the bclock more.. either that or use the 19x multi with a 200 bclock.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not stable at a bclk of 200 and am already pushing the boundaries of heat (i'm around 31-37 C idle/ 79-87 C load).

I guess my biggest question is whether it's better to sacrifice a higher bclk or if memory speed isn't that big of a factor.
