AMD Phenom (K10) Overclocking Guide
With AMD Phenom, there are a total of five different types of clocks: CPU-Z *********************************************************** * Reference clock (Bus Speed) * Processor clock (Core speed) * Northbridge clock (short NB-clock) (NB Frequency) * Hyper Transport link (in short: HT link) (HT link) * Memory clock (DRam Frequency) *********************************************************** note: Phenom is much like Athlon is that is uses the same 200MHZ HTT bus frequency, it also has an overall HT frequency although this can run a lot faster than the "official max of 1000MHZ" on Athlon. Phenom uses the same base HTT bus clock of 200MHZ BUT its base HT speed is 2000MHZ for the B3CPU's such as 9850 or 1800MHZ for the lower spec B2 Phenoms or near 2X what we saw on Athlon. It also has multipliers available to push this HT bus to 2600MHZ. Multipliers available are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Most bios files show this as actual bus speeds, so you may see the following repor
