Very interesting to see how the NB (IMC/L3) can be clocked totally independently from the cpu itself. Phenom should be fast if someone could run all at sync if so is possible, let's say cpu 3GHz and also the NB at 3GHz. Anyway it's an interesting architecture, and nice posts KTE, keep the good work up! One question, can you in any 790FX motherboard set the NB speed separate from cpu in the bios and not with apps in win like WPCREDIT?
