Hey everyone, I just started to overclock my system and I have a few questions about the gigabyte board I'm using.
First, I'm trying to get my FSBRAM frequency in a 1:1 ratio, but the option in the bios to change the settings seems to be this "system memory multiplier." I have my Q6600 set at 2.8 GHz (9*311), but the lowest multiplier is 2.5 which results in a DRAM frequency of 778. Is there any way to get this value lower to a 2.0 multiplier?
Second, I'm a little confused about setting the CPU core voltage. I keep lowering mine, but the readings I am getting in CPU-Z (v.1.43) do not correlate at all. For example, I set in the bios to run at 1.23 but CPU-Z reads 1.168-1.214. Is CPU-Z just not accurate, or is there something else I need to change in the bios?
Thanks so much for the help!
