I overclocked my e6300 with Asus P5B-E to 3GHz (FSB: 429).
However for a reason explained here http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=30 memory bandwidth drops sharply after FSB 400.
I run memtest86+ and at 3GHz the memory bandwidth was 4692MB/s, while when I dropped to 2.8GHz (400 FSB) the memory bandwidth increased to 4973MB/s.
How can this decrease in memory bandwidth affect the system? Would it be better to go back to 2.8GHz?
