high fsb vs high multi

[Atom]

i have a qx6700 and i wanted to understand this about high front side bus to the 13x multiplier
right now i'm at 12x 266 and was wondering what benefit it is getting an asus p5k which gives high fsb on the quads like say 7x 400fsb?
a little understanding of high fsb or multi needed here please!
thanks

High FSB = Higher memory bandwidth
High CPU = fast calculations

this doesn't really answer my question but thank you,i'll see if someone elaborates
thanks

high multi needs more vcore, means more heat. I read that somewhere.:confused:

Higher multiplier means you need more voltage? Can someone confirm this?

As far as CPU goes, I am almost positive that the higher the multiplier, the more voltage the CPU needs.

I could be wrong.

But, as far as motherboards go, the lower the multiplier, and the higher the FSB, the northbridge would need more voltage or more sufficient cooling to insure stability at higher FSBs. :)

and CPU and NB needs sufficient cooling if you want to OC more.

Hmm, that bodes well for me...means I might have more overclocking potential :P

Thanks!

Unless your running liquid nitrogen or something, your hardware will probably go faster, you just need to keep it cool

So more cooling for everything on the board can only lead to good things. Add some case fans, you'll never make your computer too cold:)
