*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[chuckbam]

Hi,
I have a SLACR on order. I should receive it on Wednesday.
I have an overclocking question that I would greatly appreciate if someone could answer.
If both CPU speeds are the same:
Would it be better to have a greater FSB and a lower Memory speed? Or, a lower FSB and a greater memory speed?
Lets say 1:1 Vs. 5:4

Lots of different opinions on that one re timings, extra bandwidth etc. Have a read of this article http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=195 - very informative and educational - posted by freecableguy who knows what he is talking about. After you have absorbed the detail download the referenced overclocking guide speadsheet and insert your data to find out what will work best for you.
