Question about HT Link....?

ThatGuy16 · 07-10-2007, 04:48 AM

I was reading up and some say that you dont want it over 1k? from what i see there is realy no way to lower it, right? i have been running 3.12Ghz solid for a week or so and no problems, maybe because i dont even know what the HT link is. lol
The reason i ask is because i was thinking of keeping it at around 3.25, and i dont want to increase the HT link if its dangerous

Thanks

Ok, i know how to lower it....if i set it to 4x instead of 5, will that decrease the performance of some aspect on my system? or does raising the htt just kinda "even" it out?

If your MB's HT link limit is 1000mhz then yes, it's best to keep it on that mark. 1100 is alittle overboard but you don't see any instability so i'ma guessing you're fine. if you want to be on the safe side lower the HT Link to 4x and screw around with reference/core clock till you even it out.

If you go over 1000, you're stressing the mobo. However, depending on the voltage you give it and other factors, you can have it stable over 1000.

Its stable like it is in the pic, when i hit 3.3Ghz the system becomes unstable which was either that or just the cpu cant oc higher at stock voltages. So i guess its fine at 1113Mhz if its running stable right? Stock its a 999mhz. If i go to 4x its like 8xxMhz

Ok, i done some tweaking....how does this look

Memory is now 890mhz, at one point i had it up to 950mhz stable but i would not feel comfortable keeping it at that. If i wanted to up the htt/fsb, would you feel safe about doing so?

Everything looks great; the Ht link looks much better now.

However I did notice that you were running the Command rate on your RAM at 2T.. Was this done purposefully to help achieve the OC? Generally A command rate of 1T can increase performance by up to 25%.

Hm, i know nothing about the command rate. I didnt change it, should i change it to 1T?

Thanks.

Yeah but if doing so creates some instability set it back. The current CR may be crucial to your OC.. I doubt it, I'm just saying this this so you don't get any surprises

ThatGuy16 · 07-11-2007, 03:17 AM

with the ht at 956mhz is there a difference from the 999mhz stock speed

? lol

I want to take the htt/fsb a little higher but i dont want to hurt anything like the ram, i dont know if its safe to go 900mhz and keep it at that speed though its 890 now...im paranoid, if i break this system its the only one i got

lol
