I don't understand enough to explain why this is so, but it did take ages to find a decent combination of vtt and gtl ref. Also, adjusing my clock skew seemed to help. I'm struggling to get stable at anything above 480 but Brolloks over on ocforums is stable at 490 (x48 board). I can get it to post at 499 but anything over 500 is proving less easy. Probably something needs to be tweaked!

    I'm at the edge of what I consider safe voltage (~1.4v vcore and vtt) though so I don't have a lot of headroom to feed it more. Can't afford to kill this q9650! Not yet anyway.
    Nice to see that GTL's helped on your situation, Can you tell me wich value did you end as VTT x GTL ?

    Becouse its nice to see does any of those formulas about GTL be right, as the say Vtt x GTL should be 0.8-1.1 !

    GTL REF 0/2 set to 0.650 and the vtt at 1.36. This is for stability at 475. If I change either of those values by one increment i lose stability. Strange, but true!

    I want to get stable at 490+ though. Don't know if I dare increase voltages anymore.
