ok. I'm new to this overclocking business, so bear with me. Last night I tried to overclock my processor/ram. I have an e6600 and 4gb (2x2gb) corsair xms dhx ddr800 ram. theyre on a gigabyte s-series sli mobo ( i think its a 650i chipset not sure cuz im at work). my processor was set to a 6x multiplier (default >.<) and a 333 fsb which would mean I was barely running at 2ghz. so I changed the multiplier to 9x and pumped it to 400mhz at a 1:1 ratio linked to the ram, which woudl make my ram effectively 400mhz dual channel = 800mhz (if im not mistaken). so i was looking at cpu-z and my fsb still read 6core at 333 mhz, and then it would jump to 9core 400mhz for a second then bump back down for 10 seconds and so on and so forth. not sure why, but could it be that I didnt set a high enough voltage to my fsb? I upped the voltage on the ram to 2.1v because I read that at 800mhz thats a viable voltage for that ram. I didnt touch the voltage on my fsb. i think its just shy of 1.3v stock.
