Hi to everyone, first of all I'm new member here and I'm a total newbie when it comes to OCing... Anyway, I read a lot in past few days about OCing the Pentium D 930, and guys - I need help! (a lot of it!). I have few questions and I'll start with some order:
1. If I use Zalman 7700 Cooper or Big Typhoon, do you think I can reach stable 4GHz? I don't accept any kind of crashes and lock-ups, and I use my gear primarily for Photoshop CS2 (so any sudden crash before presing Save is a huge No-way), but I also play a lot of games...
2. Can someone finaly explain me in english (although I'd prefer Bosnian, hello from Sarajevo
) whatta hell is all that talk about dividers and ratio between RAM and CPU/FSB. Correct me if I'm wrong but: If I reach 1066 FSB (266 that is...) that means that I would have to use 533MHz DDR2 RAM (again: 266...) to get 1:1 ratio? Well, then why is the market full of 667, 800, and even higher frequency RAMs when in reality you don't have the mobo to support FSB higher than 1066 (unless there's something I don't understand about unlocking the multiplier additionaly, but that damn thing is locked in 930 anyway). So the question is: Should I go with 533 DDR2 and have it 1:1, or is there some benefit of higher frequency memory and/with different dividers/ratios? Please help me with this.
I'm expecting first part of my gear to come every day now and it's:
CPU - Pentium D 930 3.0Ghz
MB - Asus P5WD2 Premium
GPU - Asus extreme N6800GT 256MB DDR3
Any other component is irrelevant to this topic I think... And as I said I need opinions (definitions and explanations
on memory and frequency
.
I hope you'll give me good tips and I'll be able to have this gear running at it's stable max!
Thanx in advance!
P.S. Sorry if I made any grammar screw-ups, this is not my native language :/
