Hi there.
I have recently upgraded from a Athlon XP2800 to a new build with a E2220 running on an Asrock P43Twins1600 with 2gb of OCZ 800Mhz 4-4-4-15 RAM. Having moved from the Athlon which was only slightly overclocked I am a bit of a newbie to doing major overclocking.
I originally had the CPU running at 266x11 which run nicely. I have now got the CPU running at 333x9 with 1.31V which runs well with no stability issues. Idles at 35 degrees using a Arctic freezer 7 Pro.
I would like to lower the FSB a bit to around 320 and use x10 to get 3.2Ghz. The motherboard has jumpers for strapping the RAM when overlcloking and these are currently set on the 1333Mhz FSB strap. If I try to set the FSB down to 320 this underclocks the RAM as well. If I change the jumpers to 1066Mhz strap then the RAM is highly overlclocked.
Am I being stupid?!?!?! ISsthis the way it works or am I missing something in the BIOS which will lock the RAM at 800Mhz while using a "non-standard" FSB (ie. not 800, 1066 or 1333)
Any help much appreciated.
