| Phenom Overclocking---and an age old question Need opinions before I buy Ram to Overclock a 9850BE Phenom---default multi of 12.5 which way is better to go....??? simply push the Multi say up to 15 and buy and run 1066 rated RAM at Default??? Or A more traditional approach of Raising the FSB----which in turn raises the DDR of your RAM as your CPU clock gets higher------but would seem to require a whole lot more "muss and fuss"----and you'd have to be VERY careful with what RAM once you stated hitting around 1066 DDR----mess with timings etc.... With that Black Edition and the higher Multi unlocked and available----it just seems totally easy to go to 3.0 if the chip will do it..... am I wrong here????
