Hey Guys
My computer has a AMD Athlon II x4 645 CPU overclocked to 3.30 GHz, but while overclocking it the ram speed also increased from 1333 MHz to 1419 MHz. I heard on other forums that AMD CPU only supports RAM speeds up to 1333 MHz and if its higher it will damage the memory controller. So I was just wondering if its fine that way or I should change it back. I was able to overclock it differently by changing the multipliers of the RAM and CPU but in windows properties it shows the CPU speed as 2.8 GHz but CPU-Z shows it correctly.
system specs:
windows 7 64-bit
AMD Athlon II x4 640 @ 3.30 GHz (3.1 stock)
4 GB G.Skill DDR3-1600 PC3 12800 (2GBx2)
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard
500 GB seagate HDD
