With that said I think I read something somewhere that when running in Synced mode on the 680i boards even though it seems to be 1:1 and CPU-Z shows 1:1 it's actually not running 1:1? If you could help me understand this Kin Hell it would be greatly apprecaited! Also if I'm not running 1:1 right now tell me how I can try it out? Thanks!

As far as the memory bandwidth and bandwidth efficiency goes I'm not sure since I don't have SiSoft installed. With that said it is probably a great benchmark to have so I'll download it soon and run those numbers to see what I get. Should I get Sisoft SANDRA or use Everest, is one better than the other (free versions as I have no money to purchase upgrade versions of the software), lol!



Would you mind also explaining to me the connection between RAM efficiency and CPU multiplier? As I get more and more serious about overclocking I become more interested in this stuff, these little connections between different bits of hardware! Thanks for your help and time!
Tbqh dude..I aint really sure what is what exactly. I got messed up real bad with 3 bad RD600 boards & felt I was doing something wrong, even tho I wasn't. I still don't have the best from my board yet but from what I've seen so far from a 9X multi, I aint that impressed at the Bandwidth nor the efficiency.
Would there be more Bandwidth & greater efficiency with a bigger Multi?
I don't know....9 is the biggest I can go & most folk don't even post bandwidth results anymore. Overclocking is ALL about Maximising Bandwidth & Efficiency, & that isn't always at the Fastest FSB possible.

Right now, It's nice to have a working Pee Cee. Iv'e been happy for the last 2 weeks now & it's taken since October last year to acheive!
