Ok so i am a bit of noob when it comes to overclocking. But when searching Google I thought were better for advice than overclockers.com.
So quick one.
Overclocked my graphics card - well impressed with myself.
Decided to overclock my Q9400 which is on an Asus P5P43TD.
increased the FSB from 333 to 390. This gives a boost from 2.6 to 3.2Ghz
If i go to 400 the computer has occasional crashes. But it is totally stable at FSB=390.
The problem I have is most other stuff is on AUTO and the memory/FSB ratio thing is set at 3:5 which means my Crucial 1333mhz memory is set at 1301mhz - so it is underclocked.
In the Dram Frequency option I have the option to set it at 1567Mhz(approx) rather than 1301Mhz.
So my question is, can i just go and buy some 1600Mhz memory and use this option.
Do i have other options.
Thanks in anticipation guys
