CPU frequency and HT link speeds details.
CPU frequency and HT link speeds details.
Hi all.
I just wanted to inquire about HT link frequency and CPU Nb frequency speeds.
I use a crosshair v formula z motherboard, and by default the NB frequency is 2200mhz while the ht link is at 2600mhz.
I’ve been able to overclock my CPU to 4.8ghz (8320), but my HTC and CPUNB are still quite high.
I read somewhere that the ht link should never exceed the CPUNB. Is this really true?
Generally it's true, because having a faster ht link than the CPUNB doesn't make sense, since the CPUNB would bottleneck the ht link's speed.
But it is not a problem and can't damage the CPU or MB.
But if you are running the NB at such high frequencies make sure that it has a good airflow and the heatsink is not too hot.
