Hey guys,
i have just got my Cpu cooler, ie.Thermalright ultima 90 , im wondering if i should increase only the FSB or the multiplyer or i can increase both??? the problem is that ma motherboard and ram are just okie n not great!!! so which one would be idle?? plz help

FSB x Multiplier = CPU speed.
FSB x Divider = Memory speed.

So, if you change FSB, you will be changing the CPU speed and the memory speed.
If you change the Multiplier, you will be changing only the CPU speed.
But:
A 1 mhz change of the FSB will increase the CPU speed in mhz steps equal to the MUltiplier. (ie. if multi = 20, then a 1 mhz FSB increace = 20 mhz CPU increase).
Increasing the Multiplier by one number will increase the CPU speed by 200 mhz.


You really need to read some stickies on overclocking, as there's much more to it than just changing FSB/Multis.
