Re: Theoretical build good for overclocking? [Xeon X5460]
You need to understand the math along with the terminology.
Using my attached screen-shot:
With your FSB = 200MHz and 1:2 FSB:DRAM ratio, your system is using the 4.0x memory multiplier, where your DRAM:FSB ratio is 2:1, your memory multiplier is 4.0 x and
your memory speed is 200MHz x 4.0 = 800MHz.
You need to understand the math along with the terminology.
Using my attached screen-shot:
- My FSB:DRAM ratio is 2:3 in Cpu-z and Memset
- Looking at it in a different way, my DRAM:FSB ratio is 3:2 (i.e. 1.5 x) and this means that my memory multiplier is 3.0 where 2 x 1.5 =3.0
- My FSB is 350MHz and my memory speed is 350 x 3.0 = 1050MHz, where FSB x Memory Multiplier = memory speed
Q. Where did the reported 525MHz frequency come from?
A. 350MHz x 1.5 = 525MHz and 525MHz is exactly half of the 1050MHz effective double data rate speed.
My cpu speed is 350MHz x 8 = 2800MHz.A. 350MHz x 1.5 = 525MHz and 525MHz is exactly half of the 1050MHz effective double data rate speed.
