More Information

I have a GA-MA790FX-DS5 motherboard with a Phenom 2.3ghz cpu in it,DDR2 1066 Crucial ram, and the F3(L3 Cache fix) Bios update.

I was told by Gigabyte Customer service that any HT and memory controller freq(supposidly they both have to be the same speed or the HT will run at the speed of the memory controller if its slower) higher than 1.8ghz is overclocking the computer.
But that dont make any sense when I change them both to 2.0ghz and the cpu is running at 2.082ghz.
I was under the impression that the HT could run at 3.6ghz(2.6 in the BIOS I think),well the HT runs at that speed no problem but the memory controller wont.
The computer seems to run faster now aswell...kind of confused atm..so what is the normal freq for both the memory controller and the HT?
Current settings:
Memory controller freq -- 2.0ghz
HT freq -- 2.0ghz
Memory speed -- 1066mhz
Cpu set on auto
all the L3 Cache fixes/optimizations enabled
