Asus A8V revision 2.0: Exploring Max HTT Adventure

When it comes to Socket 939, the Asus A8V is a great board. In this article, the Madshrimps take a look at just how far the board can bring them.

“The purpose of this article is to explore the limits of the Hyper transport bus (HTT) on this retail board. The HTT is the speed at which the cpu communicates with the motherboard, while different than a traditional Front Side Bus (FSB) that many of use as a common term, a higher HTT speed will increase overall performance much the same way and is the reason that people have sought to overclock their P3/P4, Athlon, and Athlon XP CPUs by raising their FSB to highest max stable.”
