Overclock question

[Mads-Ejnar]

Hey

I'm really bad at OC, i normal just set the multiplier to higher and that's it. 

But my question is, is 4.5 GHz always the same? 

Like if i set the multiplier to 45 or if it set the BCLK to 125 and then set the multiplier to 36 ? 

Will it give the same performance? Will one of them have to use more volt? or will one give more heat?
will one of them change other things then just the cpu clock?

right now i have a 4960x at 4.4GHz with multiplier set to 44 and core volt at 1.25v

I'm really new and don't know anything about OC beside to set the multiplier higher and core volt.
So hope some of you can help me, to get some more info

will have the same performance but the bclk affects more than just your cpu, like your ram & ssd i think, so I'd stay on the 100 mhz * 45 route

Bclock will affect pcie, and memory.  So if you drastically adjust bclock, you will have to adjust your ram timings as well.  Motherboard wires are not tested or designed for frequencies significantly higher than 100 mhz.

okey so i don't should not change the bclk then. great to know
i will stick to the multiplier and core volt and see what i can get
Thanks for the info
