+1trent., how have you tested this overclock for stability? Will it pass at least 2 hr. of Prime95 blend?

when I first saw the OP's name I was slightly confused
Now that made me laugh Trents!So was I! I know I'm not getting any younger but for the life of me I couldn't remember starting this thread. It kind of scared me.

Trent, looking at your temps a lot of us hove found that by putting a fan on the backside of the motherboard/ right side door, can help the Cpu temps. You should add your case and psu to your signature so we can see the full system. Looking at your voltages, you will probably run out of temperature headroom before you have to worry about your voltages being too high.
Indeed!I'm glad it made you laugh, Drake. Laughter is still good for the soul, especially if you can laugh at yourself.

Okay, so just a little more fine tuning and you should be all set. The HT link is behaving that way in the bios because the HT link may not be set to a higher speed than the NB clock. You will need to calculate the proper HT link speed, given your 300mhz FSB, since it sounds like the HT link speed options in the bios are assumed with the default 200mhz FSB (which is why it was reporting as 2.0ghz for maximum selectable value, but in reality was higher than that), and then select the proper HT multiplier to get it down and as close as possible to stock speeds. As Johan mentioned, if you can set both HT and NB multipliers to manual that would be ideal. The HT link should be as close to 2000mhz as possible, sure you can run it at 2400 but why? There is zero real performance gain and besides you may need to plug in more voltage to get it stable, and again, no real purpose. Then shift your focus to the NB and see what you get because it really will amp up your memory subsystem the higher you clock it. I would try for 2700mhz, and then maybe even 3000mhz. Trust me you will not be disappointed. Add a little more voltage to your CPU-NB as you increase speed.storm-chaser, i was wondering if HT is too high, so thanks for your answer.
I have few questions about this:
As you can see CPU NB Freq. and HT Link freq. are set to Auto in the bios (it's an old screenshot, i'm now on fsb@300) :

HT Link freq. maximum selectable value is 2Ghz, but here comes problems, when i select it, computer restarts in bios safemode
so which parameter do i have to modify ?
Correct me if i'm wrong, Thuban like to have HT link and NB freq running at same speed
Thuban's are slightly different than Phenom's and BD's/PD's regarding HT/NP: best stability is achieved by matching both these frequencies.
EDIT: I meant "Deneb's", not "Phenom's".
