When I matched the speed it booted then when in windows turboV could take the HTT on up from there. This method worked on two different chips (thubans). I don't know if bios 801 is better than 905 for high HTT or not as I didn't try high HTT on 905?
From looking at your SS's OT, I think you meant keeping the HTLink and IMC matched...
I've been an advocate of that since the 9500's, at least to me, it always seemed to help on the older chips.

I actually stuck with that pattern when I first got my 1055, but the Thubans IMC was so much stronger, that I thought maybe the HTLink was getting too high so I dropped it to 9x and left the IMC @ 10x...
Either way, it didn't help, and for some reason I'm stuck with a max HTRef ~300....

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I'm wondering if maybe AMD didn't intentionally cripple HTRef clocks on the 1055's just so they couldn't smoke the 1090T's.....
