can i get diff. fsb for cpu and ram?

justinvalencia · 23-May-03, 03:04 AM

i have an epox 8k9aI mobo with 512 pc2100 ram and a 2100+ @158x14 or 2212mhz. i was wondering if there was a way to have different fsb speeds for the cpu and the ram? my ram doesnt go very high so i was wondering if i could get more out of my cpu without buying new ram.

yeah ther eshould be a settin called fsb/ram ration adjust it to about 5/4 ratio to get stock ram speeds or close too, just make sure the first number is higher than the second

One thing you should note though: AMD warns against having a different CPU FSB from your mobo/RAM FSB, as it is a hinderance to performance. For maximum performance, keep the FSB of your RAM the same as your CPU, and if you need to OC your proc try the multiplier.

Keep your FSB async to memory speeds, running differant DRAM and FSB speeds can result in worsened performance.
Bottom line: Upgrade ram or stick to your limits.
