Okay folks... I've been messing with this board quite a bit today, and have really pushed it to new limits pretty easily. HTT speeds can go well beyond what we've all seen so far.
My current overclock:
Athlon64 3200+ (90nm) at 2600MHz
HTT at 325MHz x 3 (that's right)
Memory at 520MHz (2.5-3-3-7)
Solid as a rock.
The thing I've noticed that may have hindered others in a quest for an HTT beyond 300MHz... x.5 CPU multipliers seem to stop working at high HTT clockspeeds. I was trying HTT325 with a 7.5x CPU multiplier for a while, and it just wouldn't work (locked up after drive detection). 8x works fine, however.
So... a list of the settings that have worked for me:
Memory set to "DDR333" (which really means a 4:5 ratio)
Timings at 2T, 2.5-3-3-7
HTT divider at 3x
HTT clock at 325MHz
CPU multiplier at 8x
Memory voltage at 2.7V
Core voltage at 1.525V
Works like a charm... and performs much better than my previous overclock, which was:
Athlon64 3200+ (90nm) at 2500MHz
HTT at 250MHz x 4
Memory at 500MHz (2.5-3-3-7)
