Features$1500 PC overclock question on
Build Your Own No-Compromises $1,500 PC

Posted 06/28/2008 at 03:43:57pm

I built this PC with the exception of using a ABIT IP35Pro XE motherboard(I wanted SPDIF out), Antec 900 case and I didn't install the sound card.  It only cost me $1200 with the rebates I received.  It is a very nice beast.  My question is why did they overclock by only increasing the FSB.  Why didn't they increase the multiplier?  I was very conservative and set my FSB at 300.  I'm running at 2.7GBs.  In another MaxPC article on overclocking they increased the multiplier also?
