How high with a 2.4c and corsair 3500 RAM??

[hamoncules]

I trying to figure out how high i should OC my chip but am a little confused.

If my RAM is stock 433MHz and i want to run the chip in a 1:1 ratio I OC the FSB of the chip to 866MHz giving me in essense a 2.598Mhz Processor.
However
if i wanted to run my CPU:RAM at 5:4 then I would elave the ram stock at 433 and OC the CPU to 1082.5 MHz. This is where i get confused, as far as i know (and my knowledge is limited) I can OC the CPU in .5 MHz increments so i geuss running this configuration is impossable.

Would i then be forced to Under-clock the ram to 400MHz and OC the FSB to 1000Mhz to get a CPU speed of 3GHz at a 5:4 ratio?

Did i buy 3500 RAM for nothing is my question i guess??

Hey. First off, to keep things simple I like to refer to all FSB speed as their real speeds rather then their DDR or QDR speeds. You have a 200MHz FSB cpu and 217MHz corsair ram. Thats a nice platform. What mobo?

Oh I forgot to mention that running your ram async doesn't really hurt you if you get s substantially better oc out of your cpu... with INTEL cpu's anyway.

Anyway, if you want to go to 250MHz FSB then you will need to use the 5:4 divider... but your 2.4C will ba able to handel more If you up the FSB to 271 (which you should be able to do) that'll let you run your 2.4C @ 3252MHz with your ram running @ 217. so if your only gonna go to 250 MHz FSB then yes you don't need 3500, but there is no reason to just stop there GL

how would the rame only be at 217 if the front side bus was like 270mhz... that doesn make sense to me?

My system:
P3 850mhz (100fsb), 512 Micron PC133, Abit SE6, IBM Deskstar 75gxp (60 gig @ 7200rpm), Hercules 3D Prophet 2 GTS (64 meg), SB Live MP3, Pioneer 16x DVD, Asus 45x CD-Rom

If you continue posting like this I think we got another candidate to ban.

My CPU fan spins so fast that it creates a wormhole

I am using the asus p4c800. I can find how way to get my ram above 200. THis may be a limitation of the board but i was sure i read somewhere that it was possable.
Plz help.

fsb:ram ratio is your answer.........
run 5:4, or if you see speeds instead of ratios, run 254:201 and you're above 200...

I need similar advise:

2.4c, p4p800deluxe MOBO, 2x256 dual channel Geil Golden Dragon 400DDR

The max I can OC is 5%(210fsb) keeping ddr400(200)using preset BIOS options.

Manually setting to DDR320(160)and I can get away with a 20%OC (240fsb)but no more as system wont boot. Leaving DDR at AUTO I can OC up to 30% (260fsb) but the ddr defaults to 266(133)

Is there anyway I can keep ddr400 with a higher OC? You mentioned the ratio divider, if this is the way, would anyone know where this is on the ASUSp4p800 BIOS, dont think I've noticed it....or do I need faster sticks?
