simon12 :
Thank you for the advise I just wondered if you could explain what this would do please.
It will increase stability and performance.
Note: This was pointed out by a member of another forum who took the time to read the material and acquire this knowledge...not I!

"HyperTransport™ (HT) Link frequency
HyperTransport Link frequency will determine the available bandwidth between the CPU and the NorthBridge
Chipset (such as AMD 790FX). In most single CPU socket configurations the default 1.8GHz or 2GHz HT Link
value offers sufficient amount of bandwidth even for multi-GPU configurations. Increasing HT Link frequency
may provide a small performance boost for certain 3D applications, games and benchmarks."
"CPU NorthBridge Performance Tuning
The CPU NorthBridge (CPU NB) clock speed determines the efficiency and bandwidth capacity of the Memory
controller. L3 cache runs at this frequency as well. CPU NB performance tuning gives a measurable boost for
overall system performance. In particular it can reduce the Memory latency and improve L3 cache bandwidth
and latency. In some scenarios the CPU NB should be tuned in order to take the full advantage of overclocked
Memory frequency and bandwidth. In general the CPU NB clock should be at least three times the Memory
clock (example in case of DDR3-1600: 3 x 800MHz = 2400MHz NB clock)."
Hope it helps
