[Mobo] CPU-Z Question in Overclocking/Modding http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20482378 en Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:06:52 EDT Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:06:52 EDT Re: [Mobo] CPU-Z Question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20508869 sbinh : When overclocking, people prefer 1:1 ratio ... in which they also OC the RAM.

As you run at stock speed on CPU, RAM @ 266Mhz (C4), of course, does NOT run faster than RAM @ 400MHz (C5).

People use lower CAS (but still at RAM rated speed)to archive better result when benching only.

IE: RAM rated 800MHz, CAS 4 (PC6400 C4), OCers would prefer run 1:1 (FSB:RAM) ratio to get better result (with SuperPI, WPrime,...). For higher FSB, they willing to loose CAS latency to get what they need. That's reason why people try to get low CAS latency RAM so when OCing, they still can raise the ratio to "acceptable" number (let's say: C5)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20508869 Mon, 19 May 2008 21:03:51 EDT Re: [Mobo] CPU-Z Question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20501859 NYR11 :

This is what I have the RAM set at.
Simply because you set RAM:FSB ratio to 1:1 ....
If you set ratio to auto, even FSB set to 266, the board will run RAM at 400MHz.
With that being said. Which is better generally, Ram at 266 running 1:1 with slightly tighter timings. Or Ram on "Auto" and running @400?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20501859 Sun, 18 May 2008 13:39:07 EDT Re: [Mobo] CPU-Z Question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20501744 Somnam : 1:1 at your RAM's stock speed would be a CPU overclock to 3.6ghz.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20501744 Sun, 18 May 2008 13:12:37 EDT Re: [Mobo] CPU-Z Question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20483912 sbinh :

So you have nothing to worry about you are running at 1:1.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20482496 Wed, 14 May 2008 16:39:12 EDT Re: [Mobo] CPU-Z Question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20482396 NYR11 : This is what I have the RAM set at.

Skill PC6400 Ram with Vista 64 bit as the OS. I have tightened the memory timings from stock 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12 at 1.9v. and it runs fine. However, I see from CPU-Z that I am only running at 266 fsb on the RAM. I want it to run 1:1 like it says it is but shouldn't the fsb of the RAM be higher?
