Athlon x2 5600+ and HyperTransport problem

[Paulius_J]

Hello, i have MSI K9N neo (pcb 1.0) AM2 motherboard and AMD athlon x2 5600+ CPU, recently i noticed that everest and cpu-z shows me only 400 MHz hypertransport link, what could be wrong with my system? HT should be 1 GHz...

Problem solved, i had to change HT settings in bios, but enabling 1GHz hypertransport didn't increase my passmark scores at all, i think HT is important so why didn't it increase my CPU score?

If you are using a am2 mobo with an am2 CPU The cpu will hypertransport at the speed of the mobo. The 5600 can go to 2ghz I believe but your mobo may spec out below that.
