What is the RAM ratio frequency?

If you have a good set of 667, it can overclock to 800 so you can run it at 1:1 and get 3200MHz out of your CPU- but cheap stuff will limit you.

EDIT: I just remembered that you're running a Q6700 so wherever I use 8X, you use 12X- although you multiplier is unlocked, isn't it?

You are asking if my multipler is unlocked!!! I don't know how to answer (not very familiar with computer)...I know the multiplier and the FSB can be set indivudually...if this is what you are asking.
I can't bring my FSB no more than 275 witout problems...so I raise the multiplier to get some arithmetic speed (I use it for CAD).
I read that there is a patch that it is coming for this mobo...maybe software or hardware to fix this bootleneck at the FSB level

If I understand, I should bring my FSB to 333MHz to be at 1:1 with my memory!

you don't understand. 1:1 is good for high overclocks on the cpu. but if the cpu won't go to high, then run the ram with a divider to get the mem bandwidth up. although it won't produce a huge performance gain

What are your voltages set to in the bios?

OK...I don't understand.

How do you run the RAM with a divider to get the mem BW up?

At 3.3 GHz, when I run 4 instances Prime95, the TAT is 80C for each processor.


CPU voltage = 1.3375
FSB voltage = 1.250
MCH/ICH voltage = 1.525
Memory voltage = 1.84; 4-4-4-12 Non-ECC
Processor X = 12
Host Clock Freq. = 275
PCI Bus Freq.= 33.33 MHz PCI Latency = 32
