How to set up GTL Ref Values for 45nm & 65nm

2) FSB Term.: Part of the 45 nm quadcores feels well around 1.34-1.38V. The rest usually lies quite a bit below. Keep this above VCore to reduce the risk of killing your processor



I would like to see proof of this, or better yet what makes you say this?

Well, it is a little list of hints.

1) I read mikeyakame's posts.

2) Usually, to get things stable, you HAVE to set the VCore in that voltage range. And that's naturally higher than VCore. In my case 1.32V is enough to get my CPU stable at FSB 460. And anything below VTT 1.34V is unstable. Wellp...

3) I have read a few reports from people who killed their new 45 nm CPUs with FSBT values that they used previously on ther 65 nm chips. Generally beyond 1.45V.

Proof. Well,this is a bit silly. You were asking me for proof elsewhere before where one can hardly provide it.
We are talking about a few experiences, and my 17 years of making my own PCs give me a feeling that i am trusting. And frankly I have enver killed a CPU with overclocking. Must have been a dozen or more by now since 1996. You may or may not trust my judgement...up to you.

I still remember when I was unsoldering the 20 MHz oscillator on an Acer 286 mainboard, replacing it with a 24 MHz type. My first PC overclock....
