ola,
i've got a socket a 2800+ and i've got a couple of choices on the overclock really. normally i have my ddr333 ram (crucial) clocked to 400mhz and it's very comfy. i then decide that i fancy a bit more out of the cpu (its only ever been run at stock). so i take a look in the bios and up the fsb to 200mhz (1.5gig roughly) and set the divider for the ram so it's still at 400mhz; but windows won't boot. the fsb's too fast for the HDD i figure - because the temps in the bios r pretty good (about 48c) for the cpu.
to counter this i drop the fsb to 184mhz and try to set the ram divider to get it back to 400mhz but the nearest i can get (without going quite a bit over the 400mhz mark) is about 368~mhz or something. windows boots in fine like this and i was just wondering what was the best course of action to pursue...
should i keep going on the fsb until it tops out, or should i just take it back to the default cpu speed and up the ram to 400mhz? what is the best option?
