I have my AMD Six core 1055t Overclocked from stock 2.8 GHZ to 3.3 GHZ currently. I have the H80 Liquid Cpu Cooler Installed and I get 33-35C MAX with Prime95. I was thinking of overclocking to 3.8 GHZ Because my temperatures are very good but would I have to raise the voltages or anything because When I overclocked from 2.8 GHZ to 3.3 All i did was Change my CPU bus frequency from 200 to 240 and I turned off amd turbo core technology and thats it.


240x14.0 = 3360MHZ

Also My Dram I was able to keep at 1600 on 240 bus Frequency.
However Anywhere from 241-299 Cpu Bus Frequency will not let me choice 1600.
I dont want to run my ram at 1533 or some crazy number like 1700+ somebody please help
 
For 3.8GHz the system clock will need 270MHz and probably 1.45v or so. At the 5.33 divider that's 1440MHz on your RAMs. That should work fine - even better if you can drop your timings a bit. Check out the 'SPD' tab in CPUz and there may a timings 'surprise' available to you.

If that is not of interest, running the IMC/NB at 9x270MHz 1.25v NB VID (or even 10x270MHz if you want to tweak on it) should increase memory bandwidth 7-8% and reduce latency 7-8% which should more than offset the loss in memory speed.

Even Mo' Bettah: Cranking the IMC/NB coupled with reduced timings, your memory performance will be flyin' high
