BLCK/FSB offers sufficient results now, but once MC and NB improvements become insignificant, regardless of voltage levels, the optimal performance comes from pairing Multiplier with BLCK.
any idea though about the method i'm using of lowering the northbridge freq. in order to be able to jump up the fsb value? Is this reasonable or is there something i need to know negative about it? Just asking again because i've not seen that method spoken about but granted most guides seem to be sticking to very simple methods. I just last night kicked it up to 4.8 ghz and got a cinebench score of 752 in cinebench r15 and cpumark test my score is 10067 both at 4.8 ghz. Do these seem like typical scores given the clock speed?
But mainly i'm asking about having to lower nb freq.... thanks!
My processor is an FX 6350 running at 4.8 GHz, but it feels like it's essentially the same after two cores were cut off during manufacturing. As mentioned before, the highest scores I've seen are with a multiplier and BLCK set to 205. You're getting roughly 10% or less higher scores, which is mainly because of the additional cores. Would you like to try a multiplier of 22 and check how much further BLCK can improve your score? Reducing the NB frequency seems to hurt part of the optimization.
The evaluations might not capture every capability the system offers; more thorough testing would be required to observe all performance shifts. This is why I was seeking guidance on assessing these aspects and understanding the pros and cons of overclocking objectively. How would one anticipate results with an overclock compared to a multiplier?
Sorry, I didn't go that far but I'll try to improve it. I think the results might vary depending on the situation and the programs involved. Some require more cores, others focus heavily on memory, and different kinds of optimization could affect performance differently.
