Please help me understand overclocking

In my Bios i have a settings called CMOS ratio, which I have found to be the multiplier (cpu freq x cmos ratio = cpu speed) and I understand that for best performance I want the multiplier as low as I can get it while keeping my speed up. This option allows me to change the cmos ratio between 9 and 22 (default at 22).

The part I don't understand is that i see a reading in CPUid that says FSBRAM = 4:20 and that ratio never changes no matter what i change in the bios. So I see that if my FSB is at 159 and my multiplier is at 22 this gives me 3.5Ghz cpu speed, but this leaves my DRAM freq at 795 or (159*5). My question after all of this explanation is... How high should I be able to raise my FSB while keeping the DRAM freq at a safe level? basically I don't know which spec of my ram I need to match this to.

SPECS -
intel i3 530
gskill F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ
ecs p55h-a v1.0

 

I have officially decided not to post here anymore. after 2 previous posts that I received retarded answers and now a post that no one can answer. Good bye MajorGeeks... Hello TomsHardware!

 

Jeje, the thread title suggest that you're asking to understand "overcloking" and i was thinking explain it to you as:

It's like a runner that use drugs, if he chooses the correct dosis he will be god, if don't he will die.

Don't know about it, but i found funny that i was thiking

 

Couldn't agree more!

You wont get far anywhere with no patience!

I'm struggling to find these "r*******d" comments...

 

bahmtf,

Just went back and read all your posts, and no where did I see a retarded answer to any of your questions! I noticed quite a few posts where you posted no feedback.

As stated, this is an all volunteer help forum, and the members do have jobs and families.

That being said, perhaps you should look at this, http://www.google.com/search?q=over...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a. Not meant to be offensive, but it does give some information for an impatient and inquisitive mind.

 

What the h*** are he thinking, we aren't his employees.... It's a community about volunteer help... so sad but some people still bad manner.
