NB strap what is it?

Could somebody explain what NB strap is? would it effect my OC as it's at auto atm.

Currently running my [email protected] x8 multi 1.32v in bios (1.29 in windows) with memory @950mhz 5-5-5-15.

NB Voltage is set to auto and memory is at 2.15v.

Thanks

btw I'm on the very latest bios seems very stable and I'm at 475fsb is 0602 really that much better?

cheers for the tips, booted into windows at 4.0 nowhere near stable though as I couldn't even complete one run of 3d mark (use it before prime to test game stability), it didnt freeze it just ctd'd at the end, normal windows duties seemed fine but not stable for anything else.

500x8

400mhz nb fsb strap

1.4 nb voltage

1.4v in bios 1.36 in windows.

Transaction booster enabled.

5-5-5-15-2t@1000.

That's all I managed to try on my lunch break, would turning off the transaction booster help? also maybe up the volts? it was hitting 62 degrees load on one of the cores, is that too hot?

Think I may try 1.42v (accounting for vdoop prob around 1.38) and see if it's stable.

btw measuring temps with coretemp which I've heard is actually 10degrees more than the actual temp.
