Is it best to run ram 1:1 with conroe?

[Jay_t]

Morning all,

I'm running an E6700 @ 3.5GHz & on the 10x multi, this means a bus speed of 350MHz and a ram speed of 700 MHz. On this Asus board the next option up for the ram is to run at 950 MHz. The ram will do this with a little more juice if I slacken the timings off slightly, but is it worth it?

Do these core 2 duo chips enjoy any benefit from running this ram this fast? I was of the opinion that intel chips prefer the ram and FSB to run in sync with each other, ie 1:1.

Any ideas folks?

1:1, 4:5 and 3:5 are all good. The higher you you can push your RAM the better really.

Edit: Just taken a look at your sig, the modules you have should be able to do 950mhz at 4-4-4-12 at least, if you push the volts to 2.2v. I'd say go for it.
