Hiho,

as for VDIMM and their references, I don't see a reason anymore in using ET6 anymore unless you're going for the "Big balls" approach on overclocks that you can't use 24/7 anyway.

I'd say just set the DDR3 references to 50% VDIMM...nothing else makes sense. You wouldn't want to boot the system on potentially less stable settings and have ET6 do it in Windows.

With the references at 0.83V I am getting a somewhat more stable GFlops performance in Linx 64 bit on Windows Server 2003, especially the first pass isn't so low anymore to my surprise. I always took it was a warm up run. ^.^

I am currently struggling a bit to get higher memory clock, but it's prolly pointless anyway. 3820 on the QPI takes roughly 1.475V.

We'll see.
