Yea, I read the entire thing but, I still can't follow what half of it is trying to explain. I downloaded and installed Intel's Extreme Tuning program. Under Basic Tuning there is a section with multipliers for " Processor Core Ratio" and Processor Cache Ratio". Should I slowly increase the multipliers for each and run a benchmark after each increase? Or, should I run a stress test after each increase? Thanks for any assistance for a newb at overclocking!
