Hi guys,
As a little introduction, Im trying to explore the world of OC'ing a little with my recent budget build;
AMD A8 5600K APU
AMD Radeon 6670 1GB Dual Graphics iGPU
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866 (2*4)
AS Rock FM2 A75M DGS MB
Along with some junk WD HDD.
Stock coolers
I'm looking at trying to safely eek a little more out of my system without frying it, basically its a bit of a learning curve for me.
What I can't see to get my head around at the moment is speeds and timings.
I've read that a 1:1 FSBRAM ratio is ideal, mine is 3:20 at the moment. I wouldn't even know if that is embarrassingly bad!
I don't think I'm getting anything like what i could out of my memory, CPUZ is telling me my DRAM frequency is 665.3.
I have to hold my hands up and say it is all a mystery to me! Things like CAS Latency is an absolute mystery to me!
I've had a play with OC'ing the CPU and GPU (3.6 to 3.9 and 810 to 900 respectivley), very modest as you can see.
Basically I am wondering if anyone could maybe clarify for me how all these speeds and timings are balance, or perhaps point me to a good beginners guide.
Many thanks in advance guys, happy new year!
