The Quick and Dirty Overclocking guide says "VERY IMPORTANT to keep in mind at all times is hypertransport needs to be around 1000, meaning LDT x HTT (aka FSB) ~1000 or less". The BIOS for my A8N32-SLI has a setting for "SB to NB Frequency". This is what sets the LDT right?
The motherboard manual shows the ability to actually set the values for SB to NB frequency to 200MHz, 400MHz, 600MHz and so on up to 1600MHz. However, my BIOS only allows you to set a muliplier value for SB to NB frequency. I suppose this was changed in a BIOS revision between the time the manual was printed and the newer BIOS which I have.
So lets say for example that I am running a 250MHz HTT. This would mean that I should lower the default 5x muliplier in the SB to NB frequency option to 4x right? Because 250MHz x 4 would give me the target 1000MHz right? Likewise, if I were running say a 270MHz HTT, I would be forced to use a 3x muliplier and end up with only 810MHz because 270 x 4 = 1080 and this would put me over the 1000MHz limit right?
Sorry for all the noob questions lately but I just want to make sure I understand all this stuff. Thanks in advance.
