hi there
I've just been reading up about the FSB Northbridge strap and have a question.
Apparently the strap is applied when the FSB reaches a certain limit. But I have also seen information about calculating the Northbridge FSB speed:
(default cpu multi / current cpu multi) x current FSB
so, my E2200 has a default multiplier of 11, but I am currently overclocked at 266MHz FSB with a 10 multi, therefore:
(11 / 10) * 266 = 325 Northbridge FSB frequency
Now I've seen that the strap changes when the FSB reaches 400MHz (or 401 for Asus boards apparantly), but is this when the base CPU FSB reaches 400 (mine is at 266 currently) or when the Northbridge FSB frequency reaches 400 (currently at 325)?
hope that all makes sense!
