Noob question

What exactly is the HT frequency, it gos from 1X to 5X..what the hell is it? does it control the FSB or something?

Sorry, you mean from intel? as in Hyper Threading?

 

[reggie_da_man]

No AMD.

If it's amd then HT = Hyper Transport. Have no idea what it does, go to wikipedia if u want to know, might find something about the frequencies there too.

 

[01001010]

Oh, Hyper Transit. Sorry.

Guess I'm the "noob"

Lol, so if I set the HT to say 1X the HTT will be 200Mhz, and if I set it to 5X it will be 1GHz?

Btw "mammikoura" I was readin your sig, just have one question. Why are you going with an XFX 6800GS? XFX is a cheap brand and you really won't be able to overclock or tweak that card much.

you want the FSB X HTT to be as close to 1000 as you can, that will give you a stable system cpu wise. when overclocking try to stay as close to 1000 as you can without going over it

Can ou go up half increments? Say if I was to set the fsb at 225, then i would have to set the HTT frequency at 4.5 correct?

 

[mighty_chick]

i think it goes

5
4
3.5
3
2.5
2
1.5
1

not too sure about the 1.5 though
