i hav a phenom 720 curently running at 3.3ghz,and hav been higher by adjusting Fsb,got to nearly 3.6,what difference does it make if i overclock on the multipier and add a little voltage, or mess around with the Fsb and other settings,which way is best ?or is it just a question of hours of benching like i tend to do.also Fsb O/c tend to get my Cpu running hotter!
 
overclocking the fsb increases the overclock on pretty much everything in the rig, whereas you have an unlocked multiplier, so you're probably better off o/cing with that and o/c everything else independantly (if your mobo supports such actions). This way, you should be able to o/c your processor to it's highest potential without it being affected by say a NB that can't go as high.
