Alright I got my cpu to 3.5 and found the voltage along with my memory at 1066 and got the volt for that. I am going beyond just changing multipliers and ratios to OC my FSB current on my MSI K9A2 PLAT my fsb is set to 200 my OC is gonna be to 266 making my ram 1067 and my cpu with a multiplier bump down to 3.5Ghz Phenom 2

Question is this how much voltage to up my northbridge? Is 66mhz a small amount or a lot? maybe just a couple bumps or maybe 2 much anyway a little help needed.

On top of that could someone explaine what the HT Ratio does? I can set it to a manual Freq but what would that do? and why? I just want a little more speed if I can tweak it it would be great and if so what voltages would I need to give the HT bus?

66MHz bump to a FSB is so small that it shouldn't require extra NB voltage. Usually only when pushing high FSB's should bumps in NB voltage be necessary--like, above 300MHz (though sometimes even beyond that--it all depends on the board, and I don't know anything about yours, so I can't say for sure).

HT ratio usually (I might be wrong here) relates the speed of the HTT link to the FSB speed. Setting it to manual does just that--allows you to manually control the HTT based on a certain multiplier of the FSB. Overclocking the HTT won't really increase system performance because at stock (even much below stock) it has more bandwidth than the system could ever use. You don't want it to go too high (if you're overclocking with the FSB) because it can lead to system instabilities. I'd just leave it at stock.

Thank you Rep + will report on the OC
