HT/NB ratio for 1090T overclock

[Dirk13]

Hello,

I am currently overclocking my new 1090T. It prime stable at these settings (4 hours). I will test for 12+ once I get the 8gig of mem working at the speeds I want.

CPU 3.8 at 1.375v
NB 2600 at 2.3v (NBv 1.15 + CPU NB VID 1.15) stock settings (possible that this is 1.15v total with no adjustment to each - I can't tell from the Bios)
HT 2000 <-------------- any reason to bump this up? I am not even sure what it does.

There's no reason to up the HTT. By default, it provides more than enough bandwidth. Higher speeds will only help in multi-processor systems, like servers, as it'll speed up communication between them.

Good to know, seems it might actually degrade performance if you bump it up too high. I have messed around with increasing the NB even more, but it takes ~.2 - .3 increase in V to get it up to 2800 so I think ill keep it at stock volt and leave it at 2600. It is 200mhz above the recommended setting when running DDR3 1600.

It turns out that one of my mem sticks was bad- waste of 3 days of trying to get the 8gigs stable...

the HT is the bandwidth/speed of communication between the CPU and the system.. biggest effect it has is if your running high end SLI/crossfire its said that raising the HT will help with the bottleneck between the cpu and gpu's.. though not many have really tested that so i cant confirm nor deny if thats true.. other then that there is really no effect when raising the HT link speed..
