Higher BCLK or faster memory timings?

wsoldier · 12-24-09, 01:28 AM

I'm still in the testing phase of my i7-860, and so far I am at at least 175 x 22 with the memory multiplier at 8x for 1400mhz. I don't know how much more I can push it, but is it worth having a higher BCLK and memory at a lower clock, or should I scale back the BCLK so I can pump the memory faster?

My main concern is multi-threaded performance in Adobe apps for photography work. I was under the impression memory performance was more important for this application, but appreciate any opinions. Thanks in advance.

drop the multi down on the cpu and up the Bclock to get higher mem speed. if you have found he max cpu speed aim for that speed with the higher bclock to get the rated or highest stable oc the memory will do.
