is it this normal with oc and memory?

[phill1978]

got a gigabyte board 890gx and a 1055T raised the number from 200 to 220 and took from 2800 to 3630ghz.

the memory goes to an odd value like 1467? (or something similar) is this normal?

also can i actually get a performance increase by just changing from 200 to 220 ? it works and is still cool? i even had 3.8 ghz with no extra voltage cool also but at 3.9-4.0 it seemed to crash at windows login from cold boot so perhaps more volts needed? but on cpuz it never shows higher? occasionally on HWinfo32 i can speed it spike upto 3.6ghz.

would it be better to disable turbo and keep it fixed at 3.6? as when i tried this the multiplies were going a bit mad and the clock speed was jiggling around a bit at the top end

It's normal.

You've raised the Bus Speed by 10% so the speed of the RAM is increased by 10% as it's linked.

1333MHz+10%=~1467MHz.

If your RAM is only rated for 1333MHz then it might struggle at this speed or any higher.

If your RAM is rated for 1600MHz then it will be fine.

If you want to overclock further, and the RAM can't take it, then you'll need to find the option in the BIOS to change the memory divider so it runs a a lower speed.

thankyou for your advise the memory runs fine at 1600 even and above slightly.

kept it at 3.6ghz with core performance boost enabled so only 3.6 when needed.
