Need help with overclocking basics
Hi members,
I need some help to understand the basics of overclocking. I dont really know where to start, i'll try to be has clear as possible.
On some post David asks:David specs:Should the DDR2 memory DRAM Frequency be as close to the Bus Speed of the CPU as possible?
Then paul explain that we should consider the real transfer rate in mb/s of both the memory and the processor bandwidth to match.DRAM Frequency - 301.1 MHz
FSB : RAM - 2:3
CL, tRCD, tRP - all 4 clocks
Cycle Time - 12 clocks
Core Speed 3010.8 MHz
Multiplier - x15.0
Bus Speed - 200.7 MHz
FSB - 802.9
Paul calculs:The first calcul is 4800 * 2 because its in dual channel thats ok.. But on the processor one (8 * FSB800) where does the 8 come from?if you had dual channel memory at PC2-4800 (which is DDR2-600 rate),
the bandwidth might look like 2*4800 = 9600MB/sec
The processor is 8 * FSB800 = 6400MB/sec.
I also have some other question about this after someone kindly help me get this clear.
