my bios has no option to set the ram divider, but it has the option to set the frequency that the ram runs at. between 200-400mhz (ddr). So when i'm reading an overclocking guide and it says to set the memmory divider to 1:2 100mhz, should I set my ram to operate at 200mhz? And should I set the other settings on my ram, or leave those to whatever they default to? my ram is supposed to be ddr400 3-3-3-8.
Thanks, and heh sorry if this is real obvious.
 
DDR400 is your 1:1 divider, and 200MHz is your 100MHz setting that your looking for.
 
Do what I do -

Guess.

I guessed in the beginning, now I can set it out of reflex to where it should be for my proposed settings.

You can also do the math, if thats your thing, not too hard to figure out. Plus it makes you feel smarter. :p

You can get your proposed RAM MHz by doing something like (Freq * Multi)\14 or something around there, IIRC it varies by the RAM setting, I believe at 333 its \12, 400 is \14. Or I could be completely wrong, havent done the math in quite a while. At least i tried.
 
Thank you for the info.
My system is modestly overclocked now. 3200+ w/ ddr400 @ 2.4ghz 43 degrees under a full load.
 
For that board, if it's anything like mine here are the dividers:
100MHz=1:2
133MHz=2:3
166MHz=5:6
183MHz=11:12
200MHz=1:1
 
Yeah mine are the same except 2x. 400 is my 1:1.
Anyways, that link was pretty interesting, the guy who wrote that, suggested only flashing the bios from disk and not from the o/s, for some reason which he didnt explain. That guide is also supposedly for the original deluxes, I have the regular board, and im not sure if they are 100% the same.
