Hypertransport + Memory speed

[Mavvens]

Hi!

Do the HT link influence memory speed?

On the 790fx pathways, I see that the CPU communicate directly with the mem because it have a mem controller.
Make sense...


For example I have a ht link of 2600 stable running on ddr3-1066 memory.
If I switch for ddr3-1333 I need to lower the HT link to 2400 to be stable again.
(Using OCCT).

Did I switch something else?
I just don't get it.

You really should list the specs of your Rig....make a Signature and include em...thats why we have Signatures.

Sorry but I see it as a basic question.
Using the 790fx and ddr3, you should guess that I run on an AM3 platform...
But as I see on your signature, you might be an Intel fan...



But there it is:

Phenom II X3 720 Be
DDr3-1333 corsair memory
Msi 790fx-gd70

So again, why do I need to lower the HT link went I increase memory speed?
How the ht link influence the memory? The phenom should have a direct access to it.
With the research that I have done yet, I find no concordance.
Did I miss something?

thx

Your right ...I am an Intel customer...through n through...
Good luck

thx!

still didn't find it.

anyone?

Rough guess is the CPU couldn't synchronize the memory and HT properly.
The system(CPU/mobo) may not be configured to handle that relatoinship.

Make sense!
But again, no clear explanation...
