Okay, so for 754 is 800mhz and 939 its 1000mhz.
I know the nf250gb chipset supports 1000mhz, but say it's in a 754mb like the asus k8n-e, if you were to overclock your cpu on 4xhtt at 230, and htt runs at 920mhz, would this be out of spec for the motherboard?
The chipset supports that speed, but would a 754 cpu and mb rated at 800mhz support it?

I guess my question is, what implements the htt, the motherboard or the chipset?

Probably, but no guarantees. I have seen 754 boards reach the 1000HTT in later revisions so I would imagine that 920HTT is achievable but as always overclocking varies but individual and it is a trial and error process

I can set mine to 5x at default and 4x at 250 HTT and it works perfectly. No difference at all in overall speed though.

754 and 939 both support 1000mhz htt if the chipset is an nforce3-250
