HyperTransport Link Testing

[NCspecV81]

Well I've read and read and read and read, and it seems that almost everyone agrees that keeping the HT Link close or at stock is the best performance. I've been testing this out and the PC seems different with HT being overclocked. I first noticed during LinX testing that GFlops would increase with HT overclocking... SO I'm just going to do a plethora of benches @ my 24/7 overclock of 4.65ghz @ 300bus and manipulate between 2100mhz HT and 3300mhz HT.

It will be an ongoing bench b/c I don't plan on doing all of these in one sitting...so these will be continued and I'll update the OP. Please post some suggestions for benches 3D or 2D.

Also I do have some results so far but I didn't grab screenshots for them b/c I didn't expect to be doing a thread so I have 3dmark06 and 3dmark Vantage with just orbs. I will plan to capture screens from here on out.
