Hi guys, I've read the sticky at the top but am still a bit confused here....
I am planning on buying the following in the next two weeks or so:
-Intel E8500
-Gigabyte P35 DS4
-G.SKILL F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK PC2-6400 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-12
-Zalman CPU Cooler, unsure of model number...
The E8500 runs at 9.5 x 333mhz.
Being new to the Intel over clock scene, I am guessing that all I basically need to do is keep the ratio at 1:1, the clock multiplier at 9.5 and then increase the FSB from 333mhz to whatever I want. I realize this is a over simplification, but I think its the main gist without going into what my board can take, V's, etc.
What screws me up is the following:
Say I increase the FSB to 400 mhz, all I need for memory is DDR2 800, correct? As long as my FSB is half the memory bandwitch, I should be good, right?
Anyways, I am hoping to be able to do between 350-400mhz with the GSKILL DDR2 800 I mentioned up above, at 9.5 clock, with the overall goal being to get something around 3.5-3.7gig for my overall STABLE clock speed. I am not trying to set any records here and may even drop to the E8400, but I am wondering if this is the gist of it
Will this work or am I totally off base?
Thanks.
