can you clarify with the above settings you are getting better performance instead of the FSB set to 8/8.5 x 500 and your memory running at 1900

To clarify, I meant that when I set my PC to 8.5 x 500FSb [4250Mhz] my results are slower than when I set it to 9 x 475 [4275Mhz]. Eventhough the RAM is running a full 100Mhz faster. but the CPU 25Mhz slower, my result suffer a bit of a loss. I also like the fact that I can then set the vDIMM and vNB lower [1.40v vNB with 475, 1.50v vNB with 500; 1.87v vDIMM with 475, 1.955v vDIMM with 500]. You got to remember that the heat generated by the CPU at 4250 and 4275 is basically the same [in my case it is exactly the same] since the volts I apply are identical, but the NB heat goes up a bit, making the temperature in my watercooling loop higher thus raising the temperature of my CPU as well [indirectly].
