True, the platforms that I have used all have it linked to the BLCK and if you adjust that then you overclock your ram, with your cpu.

Leave it at stock and just use the multiplier and your ram should stay at stock, which is what most people do for Sandy Bridge and up.

On Nehalem (x58) I always found the BLCK number that allowed my cpu to be overclocked while maintaining my ram speed at it's default speed, then I went to work on the multiplier and then tweaked the BLCK.

I know with some AMD systems you can unlink the Memory from the CPU strap so you can OC your, cpu without it touching the ram and that is the best way because ram overclocks bring very little improvements to anything, other than some benchmarks.
