So in my BIOS chipset options there is a setting for LDT Frequency. Currently it is set to 5x, i have no idea what it's for... any ideas? I'm just about to reboot for a few pics.

On your board its a Nvidia link between the northbridge and southbridge, not for sure if it connects to any other bus now since the nForce 4 chipset, probably not. LDT = Lightning Data Transfer , old name for Hypertransport.

right, thanks. my board uses the nForce 650i chipset, so it still does something I'd assume? I've never touched the setting so i can't say. :confused:

Dont know if it still works, depends on how stable the LDT bus is. When overclockng it raises the LDT bus to. So setting it back to X4 = 800mhz. might help with stability if your running a high FSB.
 
I'm running 1450FSB if it counts. I have not budged it from the 5x settings. I've just diagnosed one of my memory sticks as faulty so I'm kinda busy getting that fixed up right now. :(

Its not Intel, its a nvidia feature. Hypertransport is a open standard, not fully owned by AMD. Nvidia decided to use it as a link between the N/S bridge. Guess they used the old name to keep confusion down.
