First time overclocker, got some questions...

So I'm hearing a lot of conflicting things about using dividers, will you experience decreased performance if you use them?
 
Yes & No! - You see having your ram running at 173 as u stated will of course be slower than running at 200, however in my opinion they great to use because it means u can run your HTT at a much higher setting without causing your ram to become unstable, and anyways if u run your HTT at 240 (5:6), your ram will run at 200 (400 effective) and you would have acheived a core of 2.64GHz.
 
I was getting some stability probs at 215HTT 1:1 so notched it down to about 212.

Will give 215+ at 5:6 a try once I sort out the ventilation in my machine.
