My question... I have not built a machine since I built my P4 2.4C rig. It's been running solid at 3.125GHz for the last two years.

But things have changed... I'm trying to figure out the dividers and multipliers etc I need to use with my new machine.

What are my options for running my RAM at 1:1? What should I be aiming for assuming I got a decent overclocking CPU?

400x9 ; is that too obvious? :hehe:

450x8

or 500+ x7 with some ratio

nice h/ware you got there; hope you get a good chip.

2.4GHz to 3.6GHz?

What % of people are getting that kind of OC? I would be happy if my E6600 does 3.2GHz!

yeah well; you might get lucky...3.6 isnt too much to expect...my chip doesnt really like it that high so i settled for 3.4

bios can affect it..

p5k deluxe should be a really good chipset for high fsb's so you've got a good board....i really dont know what to expect from current e6600's.

3.2 would perform very well anyway....400x8 your ram at 1:1 ;)

actually i havent kept up on the p5k deluxe but there are a few threads still active for that topic at the moment...have a search ...http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=144199&page=8&highlight=p5k+deluxe

Hi!

Here is *everything* you need to know about the P5K deluxe

About the overclock, you won't know until you try it. Your chip might do 3ghz (most do), it might to 3.4ghz, or it might even go higher.

Matter of luck.

While testing, keep your RAM / FSB 1:1. Makes things easier.
