I'm new to OC'ing and hope you guys can help me.
When given the choice between a higher CPU multiplier or a higher FSB, both resulting in the same CPU speed, which would you choose? Is there a general rule of thumb?
I'm thinking that once the max speed of the CPU is determined, use the lowest multiplier and highest FSB. Or, put another way, max out your ram using a really low multiplier then bring up the multipler as high as you can.
Example:
9.5*201=1909
is "better" than
11.5*166=1909
I'm using a 8RDA+ mobo so PCI/AGP timings aren't an issue (they are locked for PCI and can be set/locked for AGP).
