I'm in the process of overclocking my CPU and don't really want to change my RAM's settings from stock settings. I have 3 gb of G. Skill DDR2 800 MHz.
The BIOS had options for the RAM divider to be linked/unlinked/Auto. I set mine to unlinked and manually put the ram at 800 MHz. My CPU's stock FSB setting is 333MHz but I eventually increased it to 400 with my E6850 running at 3.6GHz. The computer seemed to run fine and stable for about 30 min then it BSOD'd on me. Should I leave the divider on auto? It seems that when I increase the FSB frequency the RAM's frequency is increased if left on auto. My mobo's max RAM it is compatible with says its 800MHz. Is it capable to go above that if its overclocked?
My ideal outcome with the overclock is to have the system running stable of course. I would like to know the best options and settings I should have my RAM set to, and if I should be tweaking it at all.
Thanks in advance guys
