Can someone explain to me, or point me to a good site that can explain some things.
Im not really clear on the relationship in overclocking between the northbridge, southbridge and cpu. For example, can I overclock my cpu without increasing temps on the northbridge or do they go hand in hand? How does the southbridge play in this?
Also, what about ram. For overclocking, are there special considerations between 2g and 4g (as an example). I have 2g now and have another 2 on the way. I will be using vista 64, but will 4G negatively impact my overclocking ability?
And is it possible to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram?
I know these questions are all part of a bigger picture on how the architecture works, but Im definately missing some pieces.
Would love more info to help me fill in the gaps!
Thanks!
