Well guy I am a bit confused about whats going on. Like anyone here I am looking to get the most out of the rig I own. I decided to play with the FSB, multiplier, and RAM divider. I am looking to get the fastest over all real world performance so this it what I did.
For the longest time I have been running my rig at 3.6 on the CPU (400x9), and 1000 (500mhzx2). Obviously was in a 4:5 divider and started thinking about a 1:1 so here is where I started scratching my head. I went from what I listed above to 450x8 (still 3.6) and RAM to 900 (450x2). Basically RAM is slower, FSB is higher plus I am in a 1:1 divider... make sense right. So at 3.6 and 900mhz in a 1:1 I ran ~ the same Super PI as the original OC (~14.5sec). Next I decided to try 500 FSB in a 1:1 divider and see where that puts me at. So here is where I am at 3.5ghz CPU, DDR2-1000mhz 4-4-4-5, and 500mhz FSB and still running the same Super PI times. I am saying whats the deal... three different settings and all withing milla-seconds of the same times.
So if I want the fastest real world performance and all the settings run the same times, then what should I set it at and why. Shoud I stay at the 3.5, 1000, and 500 FSB 1:1 or the original stetting which call for much less voltage on the NB? I am a bit in the dark here so please let me know what you think.
