I've been reading the guide on overclocking and I have a few questions to make sure I'm understanding everything correctly.
I'm using a Q9450 which runs at 8x333 = 2.6 ghz by default and 2 sets of Corsair TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX which is rated at 1333.
My question is regarding DRAM final clock rate and how it is calculated for DDR3 as that is what I'm using.
From what I gather there is no difference in the equation at all between DDR2 and DDR3.
Therefore since I'm running at 333 FSB stock and my memory is rated up to 1333 I could potentially run up to 666 FSB in linked and synced mode.
Due to the fact I'm running async mode right now with manual configuration of 1333 the ratio 1:2 was automatically picked as 333 * 2 = 666 (DRAM Frequency) and 666 * 2 = 1333 (DRAM Final clock rate).
Are these assumptions correct?
