Ok , so i been reading a bit and wanna see if im thinkin right...........

When im O/Cing and have my memory at 800Mhz , as i increase the fsb , i can see the 800 increasing also , so....... If i set it at 667 that should let me up the fsb more so as not to pass the 800mhz mark so much that the memory is the WALL so to speak YES / NO / YER A MAROON ...............

and if this is right must i also back off the timings? at 800Mhz my settings are 4-4-4-12

I thought you changed the ratio.

cant find a place for changing the ratio ( like 1:1 or whatever ). Also in my manual it say to set the HT to 4x but i cant find a place that says HT

All depends what motherboard you're using, but yeah I think my A8N-32 worked like that, I used to set the RAM ratio, but it didn't show as a ratio on-screen, i.e. 1:2, it just showed the speed of the RAM and the FSB.

So yeah, you're right, if you set the RAM to a lower default speed in sync with the FSB, then you can raise the FSB without pushing the RAM over it's 800mhz mark.

You will only need to back off the timings if you're overclocking past your RAM's default speed. If you're lowering it, you can tighten the timings a little. Again that depends on your hardware, this time your RAM manufacturer and model and what sort of timings it's capable of. Try and find a review of your modules and see how far others have successfully pushed them.

Be careful though, and always check for RAM stability with memtest86.

Thanks for the info Mr. F
