Asrock Dual Sata2 Overclocking

[Syd]

'Dividers' is simply running your RAM at a different speed from your CPU clock. So for example say you normally run your RAM and CPU both at 200 (DDR400 for the RAM) but you wanted to overclock your CPU to 250. Your RAM might not be rated at 250 (DDR500) so you might want to keep your RAM running at a lower speed than your CPU.

It's called divider because you usually chose a fraction to run at (eg 1/1, 5/6 etc.)

Thanks Kalniel, That now makes sense I shall have a play and see what I can do

Theres a bit in the faq on ocworkbench that buff posted about setting dividers. Also some terms that are used in overclocking are called something else in the bios, the faq helped me a lot.

*nods* it differs depending on the board. My ASRock controlls RAM speed normallised to 200, so the 200 setting is 1:1. If I want to run my CPU at 240 clock but keep my RAM at DDR400, I have to set it to 166 in the BIOS. So despite it saying 166 in the bios, it's actually running at 166/200 * 240 = 200 or DDR400.
