Hi guys, I thought I read somewhere in this thread that overclocking FSB rather than Multiplier, for example 3.8 from OC'd FSB, instead of 3.8 from OC'd multiplier, gives better performance. Panther57 asked about it here, but I can't find a response to his question. Anyone know how true this is?
Thanks.
BTW, I got 3.4 Prime95 512FFT (2+hrs) stable at stock volts w/ 1.4 BIOS. Working my way up. 3.6 was unstable (on stock V) but will try 3.5GHz tonight. All else is stock.
Here's what CineBench (x64) says:
