Is it typicaly to have to up the vcore to get stability with higher memory divider? I was able to get my x2 3600 stable to 300x9.5 at default vcore (1.30v) with 400 mem divider. But since I'd like to run my memory at at least its rated 400mhz speed, I need to up the divider to 533. I couldn't get past 270htt with the 533 and only got to 265htt with the 667 divider. I was able to run the memory over 500mhz with the 800 divider, so it doesn't seem like my memory is holding me back. This was all done with the vdimm at 2.1v and 5, 5, 5, 14, 2, 3, 6ns, 16, 4, 4, 2, Auto, Auto, Auto timings the entire time. Is it possible that the cpu needs more voltage to run at higher cpu frequency AND higher memory frequency? Is this typical maybe because of the on-chip memory controller? Or is it just a quirk in my mobo that only allows lower htt on higher dividers? Oh and it seems like most people believe that the most system performance comes from cpu frequency, rather than memory frequency. Meaning running with lower divider and achieving higher cpu speed is better than sacrificing cpu speed to gain more memory mhz. Is this true? Thanks.
