i'm getting a e6420, GA-965G-DS3.
i'm new to overclocking, i'm confused about ddr-667 and ddr-800 ram.
i wanted to have a 1:1 ratio but that would mean 400x8=3.2ghz with ddr800, and thats out of reach with a stock cooler. but i wanted go like 2.6-2.8 ghz.
my question is: is ddr-800 worth it over ddr-667? is 1:1 really necessary?
i can do anything needed provided i use the stock cooler and not raise the voltage of any type.
thnx for any help.
(my threads may seem annoying to some, but i'm new to DIY, i'm scared!)
(p.s: someone here had a overclocking guide in his signature, it was quite useful but i lost that. will be thankful if someone link it to me)
