Ok i'm going to do this one paragraph at a time haha.
Raise FSB= Raise performance. You can raise FSB by raising core-speed or lowering multiplier. Increasing core speed gets more performance than increasing FSB alone. 11*300=3.3GHz is faster than mine right now (12.5*266=3.3GHz) but faster than those two options is 3.75GHz ( 300*12.5).
When you change the FSB it impacts both DRAM and CPU core speed (i noticed they are always the same). The part i dont get, is: isn't my RAM 1066 qualified? I bought it specifically 1066 cause thats better than 800. So why am i running it at 800?
I feel comfortable right now with how my system is and wont change anything except i plan to up my voltage to 1.25 just cause 1.21 seems low. I will experiment more once i have re-seated my HSF and am confident i know what i'm doing.
Once i have re-seated it i will (with your help ) test my CPU up to 3.5GHz and if its stable, leave it there. And once i get a new HSF (high performance one) i will consider going to 3.75 or 4.0. I know as of right now my computer has not been 24 hour stress tested even at 3.3GHz and that needs to be done before anything. Gotta make sure its ok even at 3.3 right now before i try to go for more.
