Base Clock/ratio--which is better

After reading through the overclocking guide at the top of the forum, I still haven't figured out what's better:

Is it better to have a higher base clock & lower CPU multiplier, or if a system is stable at 3.5Ghz, can you generally assume different base clock settings/CPU multiplier settings that get the same 3.5Ghz speed would work equally (eg. to get the RAM speed higher)

Main thing is the base clock will also effect the Memory, Northbridge chipset, etc. so in order to be stable may need adjustments made to their multipliers also - so it is more a balance of getting the best ratio for overall performance - without hurting any one portion of the equation ! - But if you were able to keep all of the other things running at the same speed there would be no difference - If however the higher base allows you to also get extra speed from the memory and still be stable then the higher base would be preferable and result in a higher performance level - but then if the higher base requires you to lower a multiplier on something else which makes it run slower than the CPU multiplier is best to use - That said it will vary from system to system as to which is better and takes some experimenting to find the best solution.

Thanks so much for the replies.

So, I've seen the CPU multiplier, and the RAM multiplier. Which one is for the chipset (are there others beyond these three I'll need to check?)

Well What I have done is used a 19x mulitplier. The best you can get with overclocking
here is a video of my overclock how to do

Lower BCLK means lower Vtt. Remember that the maximum Vtt for LGA1156 CPU is 1.155V.

Set the BCLK/Multiplier combination so that you can achieve a certain OC at a lower Vcore. If you can achieve both combinations at the same Vcore, apply the one with lower BCLK and higher Multiplier as this will definitely give you lower Vtt.

Last time I checked max vtt was 1.21v.

That's absolute max. The max is 1.155V.

The even more confusing thing of Intel is that they have TWO E6300.

Intel has bloody crap naming method.

BTW:
Max voltage: The maximum voltage that will definitely NOT damage your CPU
Absolute max voltage: The maximum voltage that won't burn your CPU 100%. It might damage your CPU now or in the future.

There is an explanation in Intel's datasheet.

It was taken off by a mod after I argued with him and attached a few benchmarks showing that his X58 is only 3~4fps better than P55 in CF/SLI. ><! LOL

I lost nothing so don't be.

You only need to feel sorry for peoples who need that guide.
