I also have problems with the HT Link multi.
If I set it to 7x or lower it runs at 5x and if I set it at 8x or Auto I get a 9x multi and if I set it at anything above 8x it won't POST and I have to clear CMOS and start over.

QUESTION: Did you know that the HT speed can NEVER be higher than the NB speed? (Equal or lower.)

If you decrease the NB speed but leave the HT at default it will reset the NB speed. (Increases should work. But the bios testing routine might incorrectly reset it.)

For the HT issue: I'm not sure why the HT speed would be be funky like you describe. Perhaps again the routine they use to make sure the HT < NB somehow messes with what you can set the HT to.

EDIT: Oh BTW... LUCKY YOU... you got your bios update. Where's our S03 bios update at????

Yes I did.

Not so lucky if it doesn't work.

Right now I'm running at 3.0GHz (12x250).
I have the HT multi set to 7x.
CPU-Z and AOD report it at 1250MHz which is really 5x since my bus speed is 250MHz.
Both apps also report my NB at 2250 which is 9x no matter what I set the NB multi at.
