In the BIOS for this motherboard it has the option to adjust the Northbridge and Southbridge speeds. They are currently set at 800Mhz and can go up to 1000Mhz. This may be a noobish question, but what is the stock speed (I'm assuming 800) and should it be able to run at 1000? There are no increments between 800 and 1000 so it's all or none.

Thanks for any help.
 
1000 is the stock speed. On AMD boards, you have to bump it down when your overclocking, because you're actually overclocking the HyperTransport. I don't think you have to with intel boards because the front side bus and hypertransport run independent of each other. But I could be wrong, someone with the board might want to chime in.
 
Can anyone else chime in on this? Is 800 stock and 1000 overclocked? Or is 1000 stock and I should be able to change it with no issues?
