Hi all, I have a question regarding this strange behaviour.
Since I will buy in the near future a new gpu I decided to try to OC my CPU to 3.6Ghz.
My curent setup is:
CPU: I5 750 2.66
GPU: gtx 460 hawk msi
ram: 8gb, 2x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3, 1x KingMax 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
psu: antec basiqpower 550W
Stock freq is 2.66 while in game it turbo boosts to 3.2Ghz, with the next voltages I adjust the freq to 3.6Ghz stable:
CPU Voltage: 1.25
DRAM Voltage: 1.65
VTT Voltage: 1.264
PLL: 1.853
PCH: 1.100
Had a run prim95/IBT and the max temp was 60.
I had OC my RAM to 1600 1.65. Both modules are rated 1333 1.50V, HOWEVER since the RAM was overcloked I notice in game a strange increase in FPS and fluidity knowning that usually ram OC doesn't matter.
Why is this? Can I keep my RAM at 165 1600 9-9-9-24/T2 even if they are rated 1333 1.50V. How will this damage my rams on longterm?
