Thanks alot, most of the confusion was because people put out alot of information and didn't explain why it mattered.
I heard the Q9550 is a difficult chip to overclock... Hope I learn a ton!
Ok so the 1:1 ratio is ideal for better performance..
So leme get this straight...
When I have a FSB of 400, and the ram is DDR2 800MHz.. That is 1:1.
When I overclock to an FSB of 450 for example.. and the ram is now 901MHz. The ratio is still 1 to 1....
So when does this become a...
Ok so I've been reading alot of overclocking guides on the web and I keep hearing this 1:1 ram cpu ratio thing come up..
Here is the computer I'm learning overclocking on:
Intel C2Q Q9550 2.8ghz.
Corsair DDR2 800ghz Ram
other stuff
Now what confuses me is the ram frequency and FSB frequency...
Yeah I found a dew point calculator on the web, very very useful.
I'm trying to see if there are other ways to combat water condensation. This is surely a challenge. :D
It isn't really reasonable to use AC and refrigerators as examples.
An AC has to cool an entire house or room, and a fridge/freezer same thing.
All we are trying to do is cool a little bit of water.
