Ave,
Full System Specs:
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe (BIOS 1407); Intel Pentium D 930;
AC Freezer 7 Pro; 80mm Rear Exhaust; 2 X 80mm Side & Front Intake;
PQI-Turbo 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2-5400) Aluminium-Copper Heatsink;
Seagate Barracuda 320GB SATA2 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache;
Sapphire Radeon X1600PRO 128MB GDDR3 PCI-E x16;
Rosewill 550W Crossfire-SATA Ready Dual Fan;
Pioneer DVR-111D; Optorite DVD-RW;
I'm wanting to have my first go at Overclocking. I know a little bit about OC'ing, but not too much.
I do realize i have to raise the CPU Frequency in small increments, like 10, and also raise the DRAM Frequency. But i don't know what's the balance between the two that i need to consider.
If i raise my DRAM Frequence to DDR2-800Mhz... i'm able to boot into the computer and it's stable. If i raise my CPU Frequence very high, with DRAM at DDR2-800, the system becomes unstable.
What kind of balance should i have between the DRAM & CPU... and how high should i really go with DRAM in order to have maximum CPU?
Need advice. Thanks.
