I haven't tried over-clocking yet, so I have a dumb question. Do AMD Athlon64 systems have separate clock frequencies for:
- CPU
- Memory
- Everything else
I'm slowly coming to understand the inter-relationships between the various clocks (and multipliers and dividers). But I'm confused about something. If you crank up the clock frequencies on the CPU, and on the memory, then does this also crank up the clock frequency on other things? Such as the interface to:
- USB ports
- Firewire ports
- SATA ports
- IDE ports
- Audio ports
- PCI bus, or
- PCI-express bus.
Or do those all derive their clocks separately? Could those other interfaces start to fail, if the CPU/Memory frequencies are turned-up?
