|  Did i actually OC? last weekend i starting messing around with fsb and cpu frequencies volts and other things to get familiar with my bios, and these last 2 days i've been trying to OC mainly my processor. Im still not sure about all the features my bios gives me but i think i got my processor to 2.8 stable. I ran OCCT stress program (i don't know if its a good stress test but orthos was giving me problems) for 30mins, and max temps were 59 on core1 and 62 on core2. idles are around 23 if that even relevant...anyways, i think my cpu and ram frequencies are linked so i read up on some guides and i know you have to underclock ram to get your cpu to overclock more. i havent figured out to isolate my ram from cpu frequencies so i'm asking what settings do you change to underclock ram when cpu and ram are linked. btw, i have orthos beta and i wonder if that my problem. anyone got a the full version?

 | Re: Did i actually OC? There should be an option that says "Memory multiplier (SPD)" or something similar. Set that to 2, and that will give you a 1:1 ratio. What's your setup like? Mobo? CPU? RAM?

| Re: Did i actually OC? probably but the x38 leaves room for upgrading. quite a bit infact. although it isnt easy to OC you can get monster Clocks out of it. and is great for X-fire
