And my last question what is the best way to tweak memory, FSB, etc. What's this all about? Can anyone explain these ratios and DDR speeds to me?Ħ. I keep hearing about running your system (memory?) at a 3:4 ratio and something about DDR355. And so my question is, will the thermal pad transfer heat well enough to keep the CPU at a low enough temp even though I'm reinstalling the HSF multiple times? Will the thermal pad survive all these installations?ĥ. For now, I'm going to use just one processor and one HSF for the 3 boards, to make sure they all run smoothly when overclocked (I have a few friends that want stable, overclocked systems, and I gotta make sure they work). I've ordered two other 1.8A CPU's, but they won't be here for a while. How do I install a normal retail P4 HSF without the four clamps?Ĥ. My BD7-II board lacks the four clamps that came with my 4BEA, 4G4A+, and Titan 533. Do any of these boards have a PCI/AGP lock feature (33/66)? I want to overclock my 1.8A to 2.4GHz, but I don't want to run my PCI and AGP card(s) out of spec at all, I want them locked at their default frequency.ģ.

When I decide to raise the FSB of my 1.8A CPU, does that also automatically raise the speed of my DDR memory, or is that something I have to do independently? I have two sticks of Crucial PC2100 memory, default voltage = 2.5 (right?).Ģ. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif So here are my questions.ġ. OK I'll admit it, I'm somewhat of a newbie.
