P5B-E and overclocking an E6700

External Since: Dec 02, 2005 Posts: 6

To set up the cpu @ 3 GHz I must up the FSB frequency to 300 MHz. As we know it now runs
@ 266.The memory I use is rated as PC 800 and runs at that speed now. Once the FSB runs
@ 300 I will have to ruduce the memory speed to keep it @ 800. How do I do that ? And do
I have to increase any voltages to make this work ?

Thx,

Where you set the FSB to 333 MHz, you can also set the speed of the
memory (just two or three lines down from FSB). It'll be running at 833
MHz, but any decent brand memory should be able to cope with that. It's
how I have my E6600 set up as well.
