I've got a P4 550 3.4ghz.
I changed the multiplier to 14 and upped the FSB to 266mhz (3.73Ghz). Everything runs stable, I had it run Prime95 for 2 days straight and memtest86 for another 2 days with no errors.
Here's the problem though, when I run it with a FSB of 200mhz and the multiplier still at 14 (i.e. 2.8Ghz) Things actually work better.
The best example would be World or Warcraft. There is a definite increase in framerate when I have it underclocked. I've noticed it other games as well, such as Half Life 2 and Doom 3.
What the hell is going on here? Does it have to do with throttling? I just need a quick answer. Thanks!
