I do not think the OC Dial way of Overclocking beats a BIos updates setting and adjustment availabilities. Same for AOD, MSI Overclock Program or Software OC programs in general. The OC Dial can be awesome for the 'I need a boost' for quick changes in demends and needs. Set you memory and voltages as suggested with the Dial, run near stock CPU Ghz and turn it up with the dial while running and as needed is good for users that prefer thier OC's that way, and mabie it's better than a 'Set" (ocassionaly modified) Bios OC becuase a set Bios OC is just that set and running 100% of the time overclocked. It can be confusing for some people because there are just so many options to overclock. AOD has never set or worked correctly for me... I need more info on how to use AOD if I were to try again but for those that get success out of AOD at least it is tied to the Bios and not just a software OC. And as overclocking is experimental looking for success I will but have not yet seen what I can get to with 1.5b7. For fun I will see if MAX/FSB will show me a real max FSB setting as an option to my Multlipier OC. Although I don't think I need to move FSB much for a good OC with the success of Multlipier increases.
What's the opinion out there... Multlipier or FSB Overclocks, which do you think is better? I ask with 'Unlocked" BE edition CPU's, locked I understand FSB as the way to OC. I think OC through Multlipier and only a slight FSB works better than a high FSB OC. Educate me... am I right? (Unlocked 'BE' CPU's only because locked ones need FSB)
