Official eVGA 780i Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

Alright... just got my EVGA 780i build up and running. I have a E8400 with a thermalright ultra-120 extreme, 2X2 OCZ reaper DDR 800.

Here are my settings:

FSB:1600
Multi: 9x
memory in sync mode or 1:1
memory timings are 4-4-4-15-1T at 2.2volts. I also adjusted trc from auto to 11
NB i left in auto for now... will adjust next boot when I make some changes.
I left cpu voltage in auto or default... however I have one question to anyone that can answer. I set GTLVREF lane 0-3 to +85mv. Is this right for my cpu? What should I set this too? I read that it is unstable to leave this in auto.

Here is a couple of threads from the EVGA nForce 780i Series Forum on EVGA's site. They don't specifically say what is best for your processor, but it explains exactly what those settings are. They are still trying to figure out the best setting as well. Hope this helps.
