I'm a noob in OC-ing. So I hope some pro can help me with my question.

Does OC-ing CPU have to consider optimizing RAMs as well? (by tweaking FSB to match the CPU:RAM ratio) If I OC-ed my CPU to 4.33GHz, but the RAM is DDR2 800, that will not make a good ratio right?

u can ask HERE bro...

click the link as ezzydamvp show, no need to create a new topic
and from your signature, that is impossible for u to OC-ed a e8200 at 4.33ghz, while able to set it run at ddr-800

Just an example

Its best imo, if u set unlink, oc ur CPU to a desired frequency, then only oc the ram, as some rams like KVR cannot go above 857

hmm, dont think intel chipset can set unlink for OC. nvidia chipset can?

is it FSB strap that we are talking here?

The lowest ratio intel based chipsets can go is 1:1, nvidia based chipsets can be unlinked to allow separate clocking, however there are bugs and so called "holes" in the settings

Refer to the pinned thread, thanks.
