Hi,

I'm just wondering why is my HT Link Speed low i mean its supposed to 2000mhz, but i only get 1.100mhz, I'm not sure whats wrong i mean even though i overclocked my CPU my stock HT Link was 1000mhz please kindly take a look at my bios configuration and see if what am i doing wrong here.

Mobo: emaxx mcp61d3-icafe
RAM: Emaxx 4gb x1 DDR 1333mhz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6850 1GB
PSU: Generic 500W
CPU: Athlon X4 640 Quad - 3.0ghz

Well... it would cut the bus speed in half. So yeah, there would be a noticeable drop in performance I would think.
On the other hand, I don't ever remember seeing a m/b that was limited to 1000 MHz HT speed. That's why I wanted to find the specs on that board to verify. But no luck.
Older boards had an 800 MHz and later a 1.4 GHz HT speed. But I never saw one that was 1.15 GHz like yours.
