Hello

Firstly, I have an e8400 stock, with an X38-DS4 Mobo, and 2Gig Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4, set to their rated times but only with +15mV instead of the normal 25mV increase that it asks for in EPP#1 and I don't have any issues.

OK my first question is about the memory multiplier. I understand that the memory is multiplied to a resultant frequency Depending on your FSB speeds, but what does the letter after the number mean? and what would my best results be for running stock, 3.3, 3.6 and 4ghz. ATM its set to auto.

Also just another small question, When I open CPU-Z the multiplier changes (obviously to save power) but if I overclock do I need to disable that and loose any extra power saving abilities?
Basically I think I'm asking if I overclock, can I leave the voltage at auto at all?

Thanks
