Hi guys,
I currently have my Athlon II X2 240 running at 3.5GHz from the stock 2.8GHz. The multiplier max is 14, so my bus speed is set at 250. I'd like to go higher but keep it stable and cool. My motherboard is a ASRock A780GM-LE/128MB (780G/SB710, AM2+, DDR2) and still using the stock heatsink. RAM is 4GB of Team Elite DDR2-800. ACC is disabled in the BIOS (don't need it). I have a couple of questions though:
1. What's the safest HT Link freq. for my motherboard and CPU? I currently have it locked at 8x, which is the stock 2,000 MHz. NB frequency is also set at 2,000MHz.
2. I currently have my RAM locked at 3:5, with timings at 5-5-5-15-23-2T running on 1.8v. With my above CPU/HT, it's effectively at 416MHz (833MHz). Is there a way to even it out at 400MHz without sacrificing CPU clocks? Would getting DDR2-1066 RAM help even though the Athlon II is rated for DDR2-800?
3. Has anyone here in XS been able to unlock this processor to a Opteron 1300 ES aside from this post?
Thanks in advance.
