Hi I'm a noob that has done lots of research and finally built my comp. Just want some advice, criticism, bashing, whatevers.
My goal is a stable computer that would last at least 5 years. I do not want to raise the vcore too high. I have tested stability of different vcores at different core speeds. Anything above 3050mhz, I would have to set my vcore to over 1.4v. I found a sweet spot of running 3041mhz at 1.3375v.
Right now I am running my comp with a 9x mult with FSB at 338. Ram Multiplier is set to 2 for a FSBRAM of 1:1. Ram is underclocked to 676mhz.
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to set multiplier to 8x and run FSB at 380 in order for the ram to run at 760MHZ. This way I would still have a 1:1 ratio and run my ram higher.
Also can somebody explain to me why a 1:1 ratio is good. I have done lots of research before buying and when actually overclocking. I read it is good to have a 1:1 ratio but never found out why.
In CoreTemp .94, my temps are 23-25C (idle), 53-54C (orthos small fft load)
Ambient Temp (70-75F)
