That said, this type of overclocking will be limited to Black Edition models, due to HyperTransport limits. As with the original 65nm Phenoms, these new 6-core CPUs will hit around 230MHz on the HT clock before refusing to go any further - so you'll need to use multiplier overclocking, which requires the unlocked multiplier you get with a Black Edition CPU.
At this time, we can’t go into any more detail about voltages or motherboards used.

Xs doesn't seem to have this issue on 790's either.
Also remember later phenom 1 overclocking was not htt limited as much I hit 275-300htt on a ch2 with a much later bios and 9750 so we see way high htt in the future

Still, 255 is far better than Bit-Tech was hinting at...250x15 is 4ghz. I think 300x12 would be ideal, as turbo should then hit 4ghz.
I wonder why they posted that...like 450HTT isn't that big of a deal on Phenom2 under cold...so...

I had it up higher when it was on my 780a board...
4ghz would be fine with me aslong as it would be stable 24/7 at that setting. I want to wait and see how these do now before i sell my i7

Asus seems to have an upper hand in term of bios geared toward X6, DDR3 2000+ (elpida hyper specifically) and HTT >400 in both their 890GX and 890FX.
I just hope they are doing the same for Nforce 980a board....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636&cm_re=980a-_-13-131-636-_-Product
I'm ready to roll with GTX480 SLI on AMD

my 790GX wouldn't go any higher..
From what I can tell in talking to a couple of people with chips, 4ghz and 2000mhz mem should be doable on most cpus, provided the mobo is up to the task. Hence my lack in interest in the CrossHair IV Formula, and why I'll take the CrossHair IV Extreme. I don't mind payig a bit more if it's gonna help.
If THAT doesn't happen, then i7 is coming my way...
Too much money thoughAnway, I just need the board and cpu, got everything else all covered now...altohugh my wallet's gonna get a little lighter...but if need be, I can always sell of one of Gibson Guitars ...almost considering it now, for i980X...
