ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

Correct except for your conversion from volts to millivolts. It's not -12.5mv, it's -125mv

There's 1000 mv in 1 volt

0.001v = 1 mv
0.010v = 10 mv
0.100v = 100 mv



**There's something I want to add concerning this, I'm relatively sure the Reference voltage should scale up with increasing vdimm, however I'm not sure what the 'safe max' is, so that's why I dropped it back a little, but I'd like some input from anyone who knows something about it. Where's freecableguy when you need him - I may ask about it on the tech repository.

Can you please let us know if and when you find out what and how to set these GTL's - NB GTL, DDR2 chA and DDR2 chB, NB DDR Ref.

At present with this board I have my Q9650 running at 3.6GHz, 9x400fsb with:

Cpu v - 1.2v with LL disabled = 1.16v idle and 1.12v load (Linpack and Prime95 stable)
CPU PLL - 1.51v
FSB Term V - 1.118v
Dram V - 1.82v (8gb of Corsair Dominator 8500C5DF)
NB V - 1.118v
SB 1.5 - 1.51v
SB 1.1 - 1.10v

CPU GTL (0) auto
CPU GTL (1) -40
CPU GTL (2) auto
CPU GTL (3) -40

All other GTL's auto

LL - disabled.

Going to push for 4GHz but I want to know what all the other GTL's do and how to set them first before I push up volts etc..

On stock speed of 333fsb all voltage setting when set to auto seem to give minimum volts across the board, when the fsb is bumped to 400 all auto volts SKYROCKET to dangerous levels, so people had better be carefull when running 45nm to make sure they are manually setting ALL volts when they start overclocking and trying to keep whatever and if not all volts as minimal/low as possible if they can keep stability like that.
