Uhm... so I've read through alot of OC'ing guides for overclocking on AM2/AM2+ boards (like mine), and I was wondering what good NorthBridge and HT frequencies are good and how to get the most out of my system. There's also a few BIOS options that I am not sure what they do exactly.
BIOS options that I don't know:
LDT voltage
cpuNB 7 - shift (in +mv)
cpu vCore 7 - shift
HT width (to options, either 16 up and down, or 8 up and down)
My main goal is to push my processor to the fastest stable clock, and then bring the rest of my components back up, to get a good overall system.
I've read that you have to monitor the cpuNB voltage and frequency as well as the HT link frequency. I have options in my BIOS for the HT freq from: x1 (200 mhz) to x9 (2.6ghz). The fastest I can get my System Bus to is 260mhz with a 2.5 multi (to factor out the CPU), 1:1 DRAM (to factor out ram), and x1 HT (I dunno why, haven't tried it at a higher multi) with 1.23 vNB, and stock voltages every where else.
Here's a data sheet showing various tests, I never touched the LDT voltage, HT link width, cpu vCore 7 - shift, or cpuNB 7 - shift.
