Did you overclock your RAM as well? Because if you had the RAM locked to your FSB, raising the FSB would have also overclocked your RAM. :P

Is that why I gained a larger performance boost? I can't wait to see what happens when I bump the RAM and Multipliers together.

Part of the reason.

Typically *everything* in a system is tied to your FSB. Hyper Transport, RAM, CPU Clock,  South/North Bridge, everything gets overclocked when you push the FSB up, but you can also do it all individually too.

Did you try 4ghz at 1.45v without touching the NB though? I am yet to see a full-blown Phenom not hit 4ghz. o.o

I am actually not sure if the old Phenom's preferred lower timings or higher bandwidth though, been many many many years since I had my Thuban and tinkered with it, AMD was so fun to overclock though... These newer Intel chips are lazy. lol
