I have read so many suggestions concerning OC, I am now a little confused. I have an Asus P5Q SE Plus MB, QX6700 CPU and Corsairs DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) memory. I want to know which is best way to OC to 3.2. Should I set CPU multiplier to 8 and FSB to 400 or set multiplier to 10 and FSB to 320? In the first instance CPU-Z reports FSB DRAM 1:1. In second instance CPU-Z report FSB DRAM 4:5. Which is more efficient?

I would appreciate any suggestions and help.

The lower FSB and higher multi is more efficient as it won't hit your RAM as hard. Once you do that, set the RAM to the lower FSB as well to get 1:1.
