Using a 1/2 multi, why is this BAD?

[newls1]

I did some searching, but really could find my answer. I'm wanting to take my FSB (HTT) from 262Mhz, to 260MHz and increase my mutli from 11x to 11.5x. What are the dis-advantages when doing something like this? I read where is screws with your ram divider, etc.... but is all this true...? thank you

can anyone help me here?

basically because with a 1/2 multi and your ram at "200mhz" divider, the ram will be slower than expected.

say you want 260x11.5... the ram will be at 249mhz, not the 260 it 'should' be

**UPDATE** I tried to use the 11.5x multi, but the computer wouldn't post. The CPU really needs more Vcore, but 1.636 is all I can do with my cooling. Ol-well, it was worth a try.....

My FX55 wont post with anything higher than 2.88GHz. I even tried giving it 1.72V, and still wont post. This must be the ceiling of this chip. Im sure if I had like a phase change cooling setup, I could get this higher, but I guess im happy where its at now, so I wont complain.
