Hey,
My FSB is currently 450, and my RAM is @ DDR2 900. This means it's a 1:1 ratio, correct? I also wouldn't see any performance gains if I boosted the RAM to 1066, right?
Right now the RAM is at 5-5-5-15, and is rated for 1066. However, I saw in a lot of the newegg reviews that people lowered the timings to 4-4-4-12, and lowered the speed of the RAM to 800mhz.
Could I achieve 4-4-4-12 timings @ 900mhz, and do I simply change the timings, or is it a trial and error process like OCing your CPU?
One more thing:
Is 1.4125V ok for a X3350 quad? Also, CPU-Z and my ASUS program say that my CPU is only at 1.336V, why is this? I set it to 1.4125V in my BIOS. Does this mean I could potentially OC my X3350 even higher? (Right now it's at 3.6ghz) It's running @ 42C on load, so I have wiggle room
Thanks!
