Please explain to me the point to running HTT bus faster? It governs the CPU to Northbridge communications, it has NOTHING to do with memory bus speed.
The data bandwidth needs from A64 to the IO devices, PCIe, etc off the Northbridge dont make a DENT in the bandwidth provided by 800Mhz HTT, so what is the point of having more unused bandwidth?
Call me when you have 4 512M sticks of ram doing 300Mhz @Tight.
I dont think there´s a certain point by running this 24/7 or for overclocks - The point is pushing the hardware either way -
Btw. there´s no northbridge.
edit: Come on 4 x 512mb 300 with tight setting - Why patrionise him? Going through your sig doesnt actually reveal more impressive numbers than he´s showing atm.

now ,i think it can be stable at 480-490
Whatever the NForce3 and NForce4 chips are.... I call it a northbridge, guess its really a hybrid north/southrbidge with no memory controller.
My point is, pushing HTT does nothing for you, if you had 16way raid0 running then maybe you'd push the limits of the 800Mhz HTT, but nothing anyone does in normal use will make a dent in the bandwidth that is already sitting idle in the HTT bus.
On the 300Mhz comment, I mean _I_ would really be impressed by someone coming up with 300Mhz memory results at TIGHT timings, now THAT would be something worth getting crazy about.
As for HTT pushing for sport, why go looking for something that will yeild increased instability with no conter-benfit of increased real-use performance? Really no point really.

But why do it ? Well for overclocking - That should pretty much explain it, there´s is no point than to push thing to the limits and beyond.
Thats to me overclocking basics :)
would 3marks benefit from high HTT speeds?
Yeah. That would be a nice try.Quote:

its teh same thing as all OCing, its just for fun to see how far you can push ur hardwareQuote:

Nice clocks and nice background, Overcrash86. :D
