Couple questions:

1.) Which value should I set the Multiplier at for best overlock results? Keep at the stock or lower?
2.) For Gulftown processors, I was under the impression that the Uncore needs only to run at 1.5 times the Dram Frequency instead of the x2 for Bloomfield. I am having problems right now getting stable running IBT for more than 5 tries. I will post settings after I figure out these values.

Thanks!
Odd multipliers seem to be more stable for me than the even ones. I think that's the general consensus. I like the 21x multiplier because at 200BCLK it gives you a nice and easy 4.2ghz while also giving you access to 1600mhz and 2000mhz memory.

Uncore does only need to be 1.5x, but again, it seems the general consensus is to increase your uncore to at least 1.6x. Many of us with 970's find with 1.35v QPI, you can get ~3.6ghz stable uncore speed.

With more uncore speed, you will have more performance, since the connection between the on die memory controller and the core is faster.

Many of us also get better stability at higher clocks with lower CPU PLL. The values differ wildly, so you must try everything.
