Overclocking QX6850

[TheNuju]

Hi

Just after a bit of info really, is it better to use

lower multiplyer and higher clock (e.g 9x400) or
higher multipler and lower clock (e.g 10x360)?

Both reach 3.6ghz per core but which is more stable? is there a prefered method? less heat?

Thanks
Mike

I would go for the lower multiplier and higher FSB, especially since you have fast memory.

Your setup is similar to mine but my RAM kick's down to 800 rather than 1066 with 4gb. Have you changed any of the settings? Also what are your temperatures like? I get 50c on CPU, 75c-85c on GPU (have 2) and 47c on memory. Thanks.

higher FSB kicks out more heat i thought?

I dont understand why you are asking if you have it infront of you and can easly overclock them your self and see how much heat they are kickign out. You can run stress tests as well.
