This is my current specs:
Intel e8400 @ 4.0ghz (450 x 9.0)
Asus P5Q Pro
G.skill (2x2GB) 1066 mhz 5-5-5-15 2T
Powercooler Radeon HD4870 (the 800mhz core one)
Well, my question is what do I do about RAM. My system is currently running stable (Orthos 10+ hours) with my ram at 1:1 ratio which means its only running at 900mhz. If I set my ram frequency to the 1066 setting my ratio changes to 5:6. I've been reading around and heard it's better if your RAM and CPU are synced. I've also heard tightening my timings is good, like to 4-4-4-12 2T. At this point I have no idea what to do because there are so many different things people are suggesting to do. You guys have helped me before, so I'm hoping you can help again! Thanks!
