IS there any reason to have over 1000 FBS on a AMD AM2 FX-62?

I am tuning my rig for gaming. I can run 24/7 on two different settings.

14x230

or

9x350

Which both give me around 1000 FBS. But I havent tried dropping my HHT Multiplyer to 4x and trying to bring my cpu to 240 or 245 on 14x.

My temp are running the same on both setups. 28 idle 39 load.

Any ideas? If I bring up my cpu I might have to drop my ddr2-800 timings.
They are at 3.4.3.9 2t

its fsb, not fbs. and a64s dont have a fsb, they have a ht bus, which is basically just a serial version of the fsb. the speed does not really mater, if its not above 1000 and not below 700, its fine.

The HTT affects the RAM which is VERY important. Try to stay as close to 1000mhz as possible, you can go above or below about 100mhz but I wouldn't stray anymore than that.

1. K8 memory bus is not a part of the HTT bus. HTT is a link between the CPU and MCP(s), K8 DRAM interface is a dedicated bus directly between CPU and the DIMMs.

2. HTT speed has minimal or next to no effect on task that are RAM or CPU dependant. (Try running SPi with a HTT freq of 1*200MHz and compare it to the result 5*200MHz = 1GHz HTT yields.
You'll see no difference.)
