Anyone have a setup for a cheap good system for FreeNAS?

I think I fixed it all by changing the ratio to 1:1. Something screwy was happening when it was 5:6.

Ok now I think I know how to calculate. When FSB is at 333 and ram is at 667 its at 1:1 BECAUSE 667 is DDR so its really 1333. The FSB has a multiplier of 4 so it equals 1333 and 1333/1333 is 1/1 or 1:1. When the ram is at 800 its really at 1600 and the FSB is still at 1333 and 1333/1600=0.83...

Ok. So right now since its at 5:6 that means its running at 800? If I put it at 667 that means it wont run as fast as it is right now right? Looking at it x:y wouldnt it be best if y was high as possible?

Sorry Gigabyte P35 DS3L E8400 4GB G SKill DDR2 1000 dual channel

I looked in CPUz and its 5:6

How can I tell mines setup for 1:1?

If you are not overclocking which of these is the best? What is it for?

Yes I have f8a installed. I saw those 3 options and right now just EIST is disabled. Youre saying disable c1e also? Will that not cause the cpu to downclock when idle?

So I ran CPUz recently and it said the cpu was running at 2GHz even while UNDER LOAD. So I turned off EIST in bios and now it changes like its supposed to but now it seems the performance isnt as good. I dont know what im doing, what should all the settings be for this thing to work right?

Ok this is really weird. I took some super pi readings for 512K at @ 3GHz it was around 15sec to do it. Then I went and set everything back to how it was before and ran it again. It did it in 10.8 seconds. What the hell is going on here? Edit This is on Vista64 And if I do the XS bench with...

I disabled all that stuff. What he said to in the second post. I was saying I think speedstep is called EIST in my bios.

Thats what im saying here. It DIDNT go back to 3GHz. Also in my bios I think its called EIST.

Yes but while it is being used it SHOULD go to 3GHz but it didnt, it staed at 2GHz. Whats the point of having it if it doesnt work?

What do these do? I would still like it to downclock when the cpu is idle. Edit Ok I went in and disabled those and now its showing as 3GHz. I cant believe I never saw this before. And why was it not changing to 3GHz in the first place?
