Cave Man Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have an Asus P5K-E WiFi AP board with a Q6600 currently at 3.2 gHz. My memory has a speed rating of 800 mhz but it's currently at 667 mhz. Can I bump this up to 800 mhz in my BIOS to increase my computer's performance? If so, how would that affect my overclocking of the cpu? I'm mostly interested in maximizing the performance.

Which would be 333mhz for a FSB and the Q6600 only has whole number multipliers no halves so 9x333= 2997mhz so I don't see how your at 3.2ghz. Now if you know the chip will do 3.2ghz for sure then it should be just a matter of going to 8x multiplier 400mhz FSB (DDR2 800 for ram) to get it at 3.2ghz.

Cave Man Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well, I just rechecked and it's at 667 mhz - and the cpu is at 3.08. Hmm. Looks like other adjustments are in order. Thanks for that tip. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/202388-tweaking-my-hackintosh/#findComment-1359705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
