lowing multiplier Q6600

[sniperdude]

at the moment i have my ga p35 ds3p and q6600 running at 3ghz with
fsb 333

i was wondering if it wouls be possible worth doing and could be made stable
to run the fsb @ 400 drop the multiplier to x8

Re: lowing multiplier Q6600

Sure would! Many do it just like that, use 401 not 400 exact though

why the 401 may i ask? does this apply to all GB boards?

Re: lowing multiplier Q6600

Ya, 400 is right on a strap line and can cause issue, not always. Just best to use right above or below it so you dont have instability issues and think it is something else

Re: lowing multiplier Q6600

would cpu Eist and C1E work correctly with a lower multiplier


is there any downside to clocking it this way ?

Re: lowing multiplier Q6600

Yes, they would work still. You would not want to enable them though since you are overclocking, it will make your overclock very unstable

Re: lowing multiplier Q6600

do you mean while i am setting it up and getting it stable or forever mate ?


i have them both working now on the clock i have now and it seems fine
