I'm here to ask you something. As you all know, Athlon II CPUs are non BE. So I just used increasining FSB and I decided to not to touch my rams. So I took the ram to 1066(533) and dumbed the multiplier from 16 to 14, and bumped the FSB to 257 for 3.6 GHz.
My rams are 1333 MHz CL9. Dumbing them to 533 makes them CL7, there's nothing wrong with this. But when I hit 1333(a little higher, actually) they're still on 7-7-7-20 timmings. CPU-Z shows 685 MHz JEDEC is 9-9-9-25, should I higher them to CL9 timmings manually or stick with 7 timmings? Or am I fine? (FSB:DRAM timings are 4:10 or 3:10 on default, I don't remember. And its 3:8 with CL7 timmings.)
My another newbie question is I put the HT link to 2056, I heard highering the HT link speed causes bottlenecks. And my NB freq. is @ 2570. Are these could cause instability? Should I higher or decrease anything?
I would be glad if anyone could clear my head. Thanks.

Use the timings what is recommended for the memory, and manually put them to 1333mhz (with divider, or some mobos have just "1333mhz" option). High NB clock can cause many problems, and it really doesnt affect that much on peformance.

Does it work fine as it is?

No BSOD's, nounexpected shutdowns. But its the stability I'm afraid of.

And you haven't noticed any instabilities?
Those SPD/XMP/***-timing tables are usually chosen depending on the bus frequencies and divider settings you use. Unless something is wrong it would select a compatible and safe table for the frequency they're running on.
Just go with the current settings for now, no need to fix something that isn't broken.

I'm tired and can't think straight but leave your HT link at stock. It used to be that lowering it caused things to run slower. Raising your NB is a great way to gain more headroom on your CPU overclock but only do so if you have a heatsink on your VRM's and you're not using an MSI motherboard, they're notorious for catching fire.
IF you want to test the stability of your NB and memory, use Prime95. It's not software you want to use for testing cpu overclocks though. It may put your cpu under full load but you could write a program that does 1+1 infinity times and would essentially do the same thing to your CPU
get intel burn test and run 20 passes on "high" to put your CPU under the stress needed.
AMD's have a temp block of around 60C (this is much different than Intel cpu's so don't relate them) that you'll be lucky to OC any higher if your max temps start hitting it. Max safe is 65C, don't go near it and don't go over it.
You won't get as good an OC on raising your FSB vs getting an unlocked cpu but I've seen some pretty good results on overclock.net

There is something wrong with Prime95, it doesn't test my rams. I already did intelburn for 10 ten tests and it was fine.
My stock HT is 2000 but as you know it raises with the FSB. So closest ratio for HT in my Bios is 2056, so I put it there. I think I'm fine with these specs.
Thanks for all the replies!

Use LinX to test instead.

10 runs on what. Do 20 not 10 |

10 "maximum" runs are perfectly fine, you naab. 
But since it's a pretty fast test when compared to others 20 runs wouldn't hurt either.
