+Subject: [PATCH 131/139] mainboard/asus/kgpe-d16: Limit HT speed to 2.6GHz
+
+The CPU <--> CPU HT wiring on this board has only been validated
+to 2.6GHz. While higher frequencies appear to function initially,
+and in fact function when only one CPU package is installed, dual
+CPU package systems will lock up after around 6 - 12 hours of uptime
+due to presumed HT link errors at the higher (>= 2.8GHz) HT clocks.
+
+If applications are not being used that stress the coherent fabric,
+then the uptime before hang may be much longer. Users attempting
+to overclock the HT links are advised to "burn in test" the HT links
+by running memtester locked to a node with no local memory installed.
