overclocking ram

[newbie_LU]

im new in overclocking, i just want to know what is the different if you dont set your ram speed to your OC speed? and setting your ram to your OC speed?

 

[Coyote]

When your ram is running at a different speed (FSB) than your cpu, your running it asynchronously (async).

Conversly, when they are the same it called synchronous (in sync)

(I've probrably mangled the word with bad spelling)

For AMD, your performance will be better if running (cpu and ram) in sync.

For Intel, running async is OK.

Hope that helps
