Hi, everyone! I'm trying to figure out something about overclocking with my Q9650 on the XFX MG63MI7109. My motherboard supports 667/800/1333mhz FSB, so is there really no space to go higher? Since the Q9650 is locked and I can only boost the BCLK which is already at 1333mhz, what should I do? I'm not sure if overclocking is meant to skip the motherboard's FSB limit or if it must stay within it. Does this also apply to RAM? Also, the BIOS mentions a range of 400~2400, is that relevant here?
