Hello there, I’m using an FX-8350 with an ASUS Crosshair V Formula Motherboard and I’m trying to boost the HT Link speed. I’m unsure how to raise the voltage since the BIOS doesn’t show any options for adjusting HT Link. I’ve checked RAM, CPU/NB, and CPU voltages but nothing for HT Link. I’m not sure what to do next. Any suggestions on adjusting the voltages for HT Link on this board? I’ve already optimized the CPU to 4.6ghz, set CPU/NC at 2600mhz, and RAM at 2133mhz. The only remaining tweak is HT Link, which I want to match the CPU/NB speeds for better performance. Unfortunately, pushing HT Link up from 2200mhz to 2600mhz causes stability problems, and I’m unsure which voltage setting to try since there’s no clear HT Link adjustment field.

Specs:
- CPU: FX 8350
- Motherboard: 990fx ASUS Crosshair V Formula
- RAM: 1866Mhz 2x8gb HyperX
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Happy New Year!
Find out the newest BIOS for your motherboard and check how you're keeping that processor cool.
