Your HTT multiplier does not need to be that high, especially if you're overclocking. Lowering it to 2 will have no discernable impact on performance and may allow you to push your chip even further. However, 2.7GHz from a 1.9GHz K8 is respectable.

1000 is stock, I started hitting a wall with 4X at ~1100
I believe I can get this higher but am happy with the results as is.

err, the normal HTT is around 1000mhz, 5*200. So what's wrong with 3*300 or even less, and why would it hold his OC down?

At his current clock speed it doesn't matter. My point is that if he wants to go beyond that, lowering the multiplier will ensure the HTT bus doesn't become a hindrance.

assuming he's using the default 9.5x multi, his htt should be ~850, so there's still some headroom; he could go another 50MHz on the FSB (475MHz additional OC on CPU, 3.175GHz) and would then just be at the default 1000MHz speed of the HTT bus.

don't mind the haters, that's a decent overclock on stock volts

Seems to handle everything I throw at it, now to try BF2 :evil:
