My BIOS has an option to overclock by 5%, 10%, 15%, etc, etc. Since I don't really understand how to overclock manually (setting the multiplier, voltages, etc). I tried this. Did 5%, then 10%. My P4 3.2 wen tot 3.5. No noticible effects, temp is fine, etc, etc.
I checked my board info with SiSoft Sandra, and It said my RAM was PC3200 running at 450 Mhz. I turned the OC off, and then it detected my RAM as PC5400 at 667Mhz (which is correct).
What gives? Why did the overclocking slow the RAM? If I want to overclock and keep the RAM speeds, am I going to have to do it manually?
