I have a question about over clocking , is it better to lower the multiplyer and raise the front side. Right know I have mine at 15 X 167 which gives me 2505 and my volts are at 1.86.Should I set the multi down to 12.5 and the the front side up to 200 . Right now I idle around 50-52 c . I have a thermal take volcano heat sink and its turned all the way up.Plus I have artic silver on the chip . My mother board is a Abit AN7,with 3 sticks of 512 PQI ddr 400 ram and a power color 9800pro .Im worried about heat . Plus I keep getting kicked to the desk top in BF2. Dose anyone have any thoughts?
 
Yes, it is better to run lower multiplier and higher fsb. Higher multipliers aren't as efficient. You should be able to back down on the voltage if you lowered the multiplier.

I've ran 2.6ghz by 11x240, but I usually run 12x200 to keep my cpu heat down and my ram 1:1 with the fsb.
 
I have always gotten better superpi times at higher FSB, it increases the overall speed of the system.
 
anybody tried mushkin DDR400 512MB 3-3-3-8 ? i think its great too =) now i oc my AMD64 2800 1.8GHz @ 2.25 Ghz but at 3-3-3-7. at 2.0Ghz 2.5-3-3-7 non oc 2-3-3-7 lolz its that right?? turbopsi.. last time i tried 1.5-3-3-7 at my kingston 512MB value ram at my barton system w/o oc.. is my last mboard gone mad? hehehe but after oc so many error wahahaha :P

Click to expand...

No, that's not what a memory divider is...

All you did was change the memory latency.. and kingston value ram wont be stable at 1.5 cas latency.. you might want to read up on these things before you screw your hardware up.
