This is especially for anyone using an eVGA 790 board:
I will try to snag a picture or two of what I am seeing in BIOS later on, but basically I do not have a standard "FSB" option that I can set (e.g. FSB -- 400). I currently have my machine OC'd to 3.6ghz and it is 24/7 stable; however, I would really like to get to 4ghz or even a bit higher--I am just at a bit of a loss when it comes to how I do so.
Currently, to get my machine running at 3.6ghz and my DDR3 to run 1600mhz I have my FSB set to 1600mhz. My option isn't standard 400FSB x9 Multiplier--just tells me to enter a FSB speed. If I set it over 1600 I get all kinds of trouble with my memory speeds. I would like to keep my memory at 1600mhz (since that is what it is set for, and I don't particularly think it would be a great idea to mess with it's clock speed or voltage). If I set my FSB to 1333mhz (stock) my CPU runs at 3.15ghz and my memory also runs at 1333mhz. Basically, I need help figuring out how to set my FSB and Memory independently to achieve 4.0ghz or higher and continue running my memory at 1600mhz, if you have experience with eVGA board please reply!
I know this really isn't enough information to get an accurate answer, so just let me know what else to put up and I will do my best to accommodate. Thanks!
Specs:
eVGA 709i SLI FTW Digital ( http://www.evga.com/articles/00431/ ) (also found this great overview, going to read it today in hopes of getting a better understanding of the board http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=499530 )
E8400 @ 3.6ghz, ~1.265v (I believe--will check the voltage)
Xigmatek Dark Knight cooler
FSB 1600mhz
DDR3 @ 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 2T
Believe my FSB and memory speed are "linked"
