Hello guys,

I would like to clarify my understanding of this topic, I am waiting for the Q9450 and the Asus Rampage x48 DDR2, I have brought Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme cooler with a 120mm fan to snap to the side of it.

As its 1333fsb that means divided by 4 is 333fsb which is what we overclock since the Multipliers are locked nowadays as the CPU companies do not wish us to be able to buy a cheaper CPU and make it run faster. The memory is divded by 2 so it will be DDR2 667MHZ by default.

As I am buying 1066mhz capable Corsair Dominator 4GB 2x2gb ram, If I overclock the FSB of the motherboard to 450 which I believe should be easy, 450 x 8 = 3.6ghz and 450 x 2 = DDR2 900mhz.

Is this all correct? and another thing I don't really understand the ratio 1:1 such and such and what is the best way to organize my ram?

Thanks

I don't understand the 1:1 ratio and what the ratios mean or how I space the ram out in the four slots for best performance, DDR2 900 would be classed as what? and could you expand on what this means?

Thanks
