[sigh]
Ok guys, I guess I'm not making myself clear.
Skip everything above. I'm sorry - I've spent about 6 hours doing this, and in that time I've been getting more and more frustrated. Let me make this as precise as possible.
FACTS
1) I AM NOT USING ANY FORM, WHATSOEVER, OF ANY SORT, TYPE, KIND, MAKE, VERSION, OR MODEL OF AI OVERCLOCKING. I TEMPORARILY DID _______ONLY TO SEE IF THE MOTHERBOARD WAS EVEN CAPABLE OF OVERCLOCKING ON ITS OWN PARAMETERS_________. And, it did. Thus, I have proven ONLY THAT THE MOTHERBOARD IS CAPABLE OF INCREASING THE HTT. Nothing more. AFTER THIS I SHUT OF ALL AI OVERCLOCKING NEVER TO TURN IT BACK ON.
THERE IS NO AI OVERCLOCK CURRENTLY IN USE. NAdA. NOTHING. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. ZILCH. ZIPPO. Pretend it doesn't exist.
2) I am currently able to alter all the important parameters - HT, Multiplier, VCore, MEM speed, MEMcore, etc... EXCEPT the HTT. I CANNOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, get the HTT to change.
I have successfully underclocked my computer by dropping the mem frequency and dropping the multiplier to 7. 1.4GHZ baby. Hazaa.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT I SET THE HTT AT, THE BIOS REFUSES TO ALTER THE SPEED OF THE HTT. And yes, I've tried setting the HT to 4x, and even 3x. No cigar.
3) There have been similar problems with A8N-SLI series MObos (like mine) that use Sata 300 Harddrives (Like mine). Some people arent' able to exceed HTT=220 because Sata 1 and Sata 2 are "locked" in frequency (I dont' get it either, but there is documentation of it). However, my HTT won't change at all, and I've plugged my HD into the SATA 3 slot. No cigar.
WHY THE **** WON'T MY HTT CHANGE?
Sorry guys, and thanks for the help in advance. I'm ready to kick this computer.
