i want to OC my athlon II x3 440 to 3.2GHz from the stock 3GHz.
so i worked out that if i set FSB to 214 i would get 214 x15 = 3210
So now the HT link is 2140 or if i drop it to x9 it will be 1926. Which should i do?
Next is my ram, with 214 my 1333MHz ram will be at 1425MHz OR if i drop to 533 in BIOS it will be at 1140MHz. Which should i do?

please guys i seriously need help understanding this

theres supposed to be an option which automaticly sorts out the ram:fsb ratio which would solve my problems but i cant find it in the bios nor can i find it in the manual.

ive overclocked it to 3.2ghz by raising fsb to 214 and we've been playing Saints Row 2 in co-op for an hour and its running perfect now no lag, but the HT and ram is a little higher than default. will it be ok like this forever now?
