Who with a what now? I come from owning a loooong string of abit motherboards and this Asus bios looks like a disorganized mess of calculus equations tossed into a pile of vomit. Now that I have my feelings out of the way.... Here's what I'm working with:
Have an X2 4400+ (Stock 11x200) running with some XMS 4000PT (DDR500). I'm slowly working my over clock up. But something doesnt make sense. Current settings are:
FSB = 230
CPU Multiplier = 11
Memory = 200 (Which I assume is Asus's way of saying 1:1)
K8 to NB Frequency = 1000 (Which I hope was Asus's way of saying 5x HTT Multiplier)
K8 to NB Link Width = Auto
SB to NB Frequency = 1000
SB to NB Link Width = 16 Down, 16 Up
So I fire up CPU-Z and Sandra and they tell me I'm running at:
- 2.53ghz: which makes sence 11x230
- 230mhz mem clock: sweet, got 1:1 to work
- 2300 (1150 x 2) HTT speeds: follows the formula FSB x HTT Multiplier (5 x 230)
So far so good. My question is, what do I do with those extra settings and how can I test for them?
- Should I leave the "K8 to NB Link Width" to Auto?
- Does the SB to NB HTT frequency OC along with the other HTT settings or is it locked? Is there a way to test?
- What's that max that you guys have gotten your HTT up to? Is 2300 very high / low?
Sorry for all the questions and thank you all in advance for your replies!
