Well I've been OCing this paste few days and been getting some good results but I don't know much about ram I had it set at auto so I have no idea what it's at. I have Hyper X 3500 2x512 do I want it at running the same Mhz as my fsb?
 
For best performance, yes. Sync the memroy/cpu fsb to 1:1 since you have an amd setup.
 
how big of a difference would it be going from 2,3,3,7 - 2,3,3,5?
and Since this is OC is going better than when my multiplier was at 11 you think I should put it at 12.5?
 
I wouldn't expect going from 2-3-3-7 to 2-3-3-5 would make much of a difference. With kingston hyperx pc3500 I'm surprised your timings aren't in the realm of 2-2-2-5 or as some perfer 2-2-2-11. Raising the multi from 11 to 12.5 is a pretty large jump. If you do that, do it in increments of .5 and see what happens when stress testing. Your system will be faster with a higher FSB though. How high is your multi when you max out your FSB?
