Quote:Core i7 processors drive their frequencies based off a reference clock set on the motherboard, which is user-adjustable. If you adjust the reference clock to a higher-rate, CPU and memory speeds rise with it, as their individual clock frequencies are based off multipliers of this reference clock.This reference frequency is what I've meant. And it can be controlled by software like SetFSB. Despite the name.
