ok the e6800 has a multiplier of 9
fsb of 1066
i want to take the e6800 to 3.6ghz so.. so i set it 400x9=3.6ghz
now for my ram.. i would just have to increase it to 400 as well right? so 400x4=1600mhz fsb?
let me know if i'm right.
thanks
Here is what I got sitting in my room
1. Intel E8400
2. DFI Blood Iron P35
3. OCZ StealthXstream 600W PSU
I WANT to at least Hit 4.0ghz. Since I have a multiplier of 9 I would need to have my fsb at 445mhz. I can either go with DDr2-800 and overclock the ram or get DDR2-1000 and...
check it out. some of you may have seen this but this is my first time coming across such an idea of leaving the heat pipe exposed allowing direct contact with the cpu's heat spreader.

so far i'm pleased with air cooling i've got some strong oclocking numbers in the...

you guys ever sit in front of a toaster waiting for your bread to pop out? you realize its coming any second so you brace yourself for that moment so you won't jump? but when it does pop out you still get a little startled by it?
