hi peeps right i have GEIL pc2-6400 or ddr 800, i have been reading up a bit now and trying to overclock my cpu by the FSB which i can do fine. i can get from 2.40 stock on E6600 to 3.1ghz stable if i take it to 3.2 my system comes very unstable which is cos of the ram at the moment ot seems. my ram is running at 515-515 and cos of DDR its a total of 1030mhz with a fsb/dram ratio of 2:3 (info from CPUZ) even tho in the bios i set it to 1:2 to see what it would do, so how do i overclock to 3.2 -3.4 and downclock the ram so its stable (and i do have a very good air CPU cool its like a dual turbine its the armarda TEC cooler) also in the bios on the fsb/dram ratio tab there is settings like 1:1.25 whats that .25 about cheers
you need to set the fsb/dram ratio at 1:1. this will let you overclock alot more. in a 1:1 ratio the memory will be 2x the fsb. so if you run at 9x400 to get 3.6 then the memory will be running at ddr2 800.
cheers what voltage should i set the cpu and dram to cos it says in the bio that if am overclocking to much higher speeds to adjust the cpu and dram voltage along with the ratio
