I can get my CPU stable at both but in real world application which would be faster?

I'm talking about the arguement of higher FSB vs multipliers

That argument is moot since CPU frequency is lower which affect real world application more than FSB.
If you want to know which is the better FSB... we also need to know what memory are you running?

I'm slowly winding the 8 multi up to 450 to reach 3600 at 450x8

what prime test would you be using? I'm using Blend tests

Small FFT, use memtest to test memory after you get your overclock stable. Bring your memory down to 800mhz and move your FSB up. That takes the memory out of the equation

decided to run it at 8x425
To achieve 400x9 i have to run the chip too hot for everyday use...
425x8 it is finally..
3400 is optimum for me I'm just running blend test with Vcore of 1.36
![Image]()
on a 1.3250 Vid Q6600
NB is set at 1.2V (stock)
CPU PLL set at 1.54 (1.5 Stock)
FSB Termination 1.22 (1.20 stock)
I'll try lowering CPU PLL and FSB Term after Prime runs stable at current settings for another 4 hours...
I'm very happy

rams running at rated 1066mhz - I just want to get the thing stable for the last time... slowly winding down voltages etc. so it runs nice and cool then I can start to use the new beast!!!
Can't wait it'll be running 3.4ghz at 425x8

You can test it.
I find running 3.5GHz stable with 8x438 is faster than 9x400, but I can't even get it stable below 1.5V though.
