Does increasing the FSB speed in a Mac Mini affect the VRAM speed?
Does increasing the FSB speed in a Mac Mini affect the VRAM speed?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post on the forum. I’m an experienced overclocker, and today while exploring the garage, I discovered my old Mac Mini from late 2009. It has a P7550 Core 2 Duo processor at 2.26 GHz, a nForce 730i chipset, and an integrated Geforce 9400m GPU. I was curious and decided to boot into Windows 7 to try overclocking it. I adjusted the FSB speed from 266 MHz to 310 MHz using nTune, and the system remained stable (checked with prime95). I also slightly boosted the GPU speed. My question is: why do hardware monitoring tools detect the CPU and GPU overclock, but not the increased VRAM speed? Since the GPU uses system memory instead.
The actual RAM speed did improve, going from 1066 MHz to 1240 MHz.
