Memory, FSB, Overclocking and Heat Issues

I've read somewhere on the net that my FSB-to-DRAM Ratio should be 1:1 to maximize performance, so I decided to try it out.

"You don't need 1:1. Memory performance is kind of irrelevant (within reason) for most tasks, so just try increasing your FSB by a smaller amount this time.

Also, use stability testing tools rather than games, it's faster and simpler.

Foremost among those is Prime95; if your system can survive Prime95 for an hour, it's very likely to be stable in CPU and memory.

So in summary

make smaller changes
test after each small change
increase if things are stable"
