Comment: Any help or ideas are Greatly Appreciated!
I,m currently building a system with the Prometeia Phase cooler with/ Corsair pc3200 cas2/asus p4g8x mb. My question is which chip will yield the best OC results?
The p4 2.6 400fsb has multiplier of 26x100=2600,which if changed to 133 will be 3458mhz but, believe that the fsb will not go much higher 138-140. The p4 2.66/533fsb has multiplier of 20x133=2660. But am told that the fsb will go alot higher 160-180. I would like to run @ 3500 range. The question is really which will be the faster overall OC Chip of the two? The 2.6 w/400fsb or the 2.66 w/533fsb. Is it better to have both a higher multiplier and fsb or higher fsb w/lower multiplier?
Help!
Thanks!!!

Reply: (edit)I think think the 2.6 will overclock better. It's a lot easier to overclock from 100 to 133, than 133 to 166.

Reply: (edit)YES! get a lower multiplier for the cpu then raise the FBS & if you got the option (in Cmos)of increasing the core voltage do it but only one step at the time. It's better to have a higher FBS then a Multiplier cuz that way your memory will work faster too & AGP ,PCI ...
