x7 * 400 = 2.8GHz
or
x9 * 333 = 3.0GHz (could tighten the RAM timings slightly using this FSB speed - BTW I Have DDR2 800 RAM).
Would the increased bandwidth from the larger FSB (especially since it's a quad core) > higher overall clock speed? Which would be better for games/video encoding?
Also does the Q6600 share its L2 cache between the 4 cores or do they each have 2Mb cache dedicated to each core?
temps (I'm using the stock HSF for the moment). At 2.7Ghz under full Prime95 load on all cores the avg. temp is 61 degrees C.
So I was wondering should I drop the multi (to keep the total cpu speed ~2.8Ghz (coz temps are reasonable @ this speed) and raise the FSB to take advatage of the extra bandwdth my DDr 2 800 RAM offers?
Or should I leave the multi @ 9 and just try and get the fastest possible overall CPU speed (with acceptable temps)?
Cheers
