My latest OC ventur with my 3800+ x2 and a Q about HT link speed

[EiSFX]

Hello all well i was playing with my 3800+ today and found my max stable OC for my 3800+ which is 2.6 Ghz at 1.425 volts Idel 35*C load 48*C

heres a pic



now i was wondering i have been reading through a bunch of different forums and orther info about the HT link speed and it shoulden't be over 1000 but as you can see in my OC it is at 1040 i was wondering if thats going to hurt anything

if its stable it wont hurt anything.

no ... actually if u lower the HT to 800 u can get a better overclock

I have tried playing with the HT link divider and for some strange reason my OC reverts back to stock in windows even tho in the BIOS it still says the BUS speed is still at 260 MHz i have tried it different ways and so far leaving the HT link divider at AUTO is the only way overcloaking works on this board for some strange reason

Not at all true!

Guess I should have dropped my Ht link for a better OC???????

so i'm guessing all the stuff i read about the HT link and 1000 MHz was just a bunch of BS

its a stability thing...a generalization really. some boards will work just fine over 1000 some will not.

Its like saying a certain voltage or temperature is a "max" value....it really depends on how well the hardware plays together!
