Overclocking 3500+ Voltage and HTT Questions

[pr0zac]

I've been overclocking my 3500+. I've got it up to 2640. It should be able to go higher with my XP-120 as the idle temps are still below 40C. What voltage should I be looking at to keep this thing stable on boot? Also, I've been told to turn my HTT down to below 4x. Where is this on the bios for Asus mobos? Might it be called something other than HTT?

To the top with you! Someone has got to know the answer to this.

Ive heard you want to keep your voltage under 1.675 on a64's but really more voltage = more heat and too much heat will get you first. The htt frequency multipler is under CPU configuration -> Hypertransport configuration -> HT frequency

Test your oc stability in prime, booting isnt quite enough.

I would keep the voltage under 1.7V for sure because the Winchester cores dont require alot of voltage and giving them more voltage usually doesn't help much.

If your overclocking 200-250Mhz HTT then you need to set the HTT multi to 4x. If your at 250Mhz-300Mhz you need to set it at 3x. You just want to make sure you keep your HTT speed running at 1000Mhz or lower.
