I know this topic has been beat to death, but I still haven't actually found a solid way in steps for a way to overclock. There are a few more options than on my old socket A that I'm trying to get a bearing on.
  1. HTT: From what I've collected, this can't be much over 1000; stock being 200 (fsb) * 5 = 1000. Therefore, is it safe to keep it on 4 unless you are capable of running ram higher than 250 fsb?
  2. Clock Speed: Now that the memory controller is onboard, allowing it to equal that of the clock speed, is this ultimately more important than fsb? Unfortunately, since the highest multiplier is 11 on these locked processors, the only way to raise the clock speed is by adjusting the fsb, however if it came to a situation where you have to make a call between FSB or Lowering the Multiplier down 1/2, which will give more performance? I.E 250 * 10 = 2500 vs. 255 * 9.5 = 2422 (Theoretically if those were the two best options)
  3. Is the LBT (I believe that's the acronym) and the Dividers worth messing around with?
I apologize if this sounds trivial, I was so busy having anxiety attacks worrying if my watercooling setup was going to leak that overclocking became secondary. I'd really appreciate a few guidelines, since the typical fsb * multiplier is taking a backseat and more acronyms are coming out to play. Thanks :)
