8 x 250 @ 2000 MHz ?

[phpdog]

Hi ,

Currentl im running at 10 x 215 @ 2150 MHz and everythings fine & fast 😀

I was just wondering about settings like 8 x 250 @ 2000 MHz & 9 x 240 @ 2160 MHz .... i got much higher sandra results from the 9 x 240 @ 2160 than my current setup and it seems to run pretty stable Prime95 4 hrs and temps of like 46º/50º under full Prime95 Load .... about 38º/40º normal use .🙂

Which settings would be better to use ? is a Multiplier of 8/9 to low ?

The only thing that seems to be changing a lot is the temp of my Northbridge it went from like 30º/32º to around 36º/38º ... is this normal ? and is it safe for the motherboard ?

😕

When my NB gets to 36-38 it starts to get unstable. I dont' hear of many people pushing their fsb past 230. 220 is pretty high and is a good overclock.

i thought you had to run the FSB at the same speed as your RAM

no. you can run it out of sync . but AMDs perform better while in sync. =-=- the statment is debatable but many harddawre sites calim this,

Actually, there are many people on this forum who run their fsb's over 250. A few of them run at 300. This is with P4C's, of course.
