  1. Hi, my i ask a question?
    I am currently trying to set up hypertransport link to max.

    and i went to my bios setting and i don't see any ht link and LDT.

    my laptaop is aspire 4530. please help.

    the reason that i am looking ht link is for world of warcraft. I am having serious low latency in wow right now. don't understand why... but i found that if i max my ht link, then my problem can be fixed.

    please help me find ht link and fix it.

  2. HyperTransport is a self regulated bus.
    You cannot set it.
    The closest I can think of is Power Management>>Advance Power Management
    PCI-E >> Link State Power Management.
    My guess is your temperature cause it to throttle dropping performance.
