DRAM Frequency


OK. So I set the DRAM frequency on the far right side of the screen to 333Mhz (DDRII667). I have DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Ram installed, so this is good, right?

This means I can overclock the fsb to 333 Mhz and keep a 1:1 ratio.




CPU


Now there are 2 overclock modes on this screen under Overclock Mode

CPU, PCIE Sync or CPU, PCIE Async

Which one do I select?

And I can just hit the + sign under CPU frequency and the number just gets higher. As this number gets higher, other numbers automaitcally increase on this screen (such as PCIE freq). Should I let the BIOS automatically change these numbers?

Is this all I do to overclock? Keep upping the CPU freq (until 333 MHZ) or until my CPU becomes unstable and/or runs too hot?


I know what the CPU freq is, but what is PCIE freq or the 33.33 MHZ?
