In the earlier days I used to run the 1.1B3 bios at 266 HT mainly because the 1066 memory option didn't work and it was the only way to get the memory up to speed. These were the settings I used 266 x 10.5 x 8 x 7. The 8x multi on the NB kept it below 2200.

Really, since they fixed the 1066 ram on the newer bios theres not much need to run high HTRef speeds (and it can cause stability problems).
I only use it now to tweek the NB and Memory and rarely take it over 205.
no my HT changes my NB clocks Just like charged3800z24 board.

As long as the HT is between 1800mhz- 2100mhz you should have good stability with almost any AM2+ Mobo...Memory running @1066mhz /divider will most likely need more NBvolts(chipset) to keep the IMC happy with stock Vdimm as Higher CPU/multi is . Ive ran my Dominators @ 1150mhz+ with the default Vdim and 9600BE up to 2600mhz stable..I have a very low clocking 9600BE(dosnt like Volts ,maybe ColdBugged 1.18volts) It will be replaced with 9850/9950 real soon...The best my B2 has is 2600mhzCPU/2400mhzNB

NOTE:
Ive noticed the HT likes to be (lower than the NB or Equal)up to 1800-2000mhz. The NB can alot higher than 2000mhz easily but the HT likes to be set around 2000mhz or lower to keep things stable (No matter how HIGH/LOW the FSB/MHZ..)My TA770 does FSB280mhz max with Phenom@2660mhz.(280x9.5) while using 7xHT = 1960mhz/HT

Hope my 2cents helps and nice work guys,,gOtVolTage
My HT only go's lowers with NB. If I go higher my HT the NB go's up, the HT stays at 2,000mhz in the bios.

I have to use AOD to lower it

my goal 2.7ghz-2.8ghz cause my chip sucks
