    Thumbs up

It may be that this is based off a divider from the GTLREF NB voltage which has already been reduced by a set of 1% resistors, it would make sense to do something along these lines as too high a vTT would cause too large swing between ground and power, perhaps thats the reason why we use smaller NB GTLREF multipliers or values.
    Hi Mike, thank you for all the information thus far, I've finally gained some better understanding on VTT and GTL. All other articles I've come across are either vague or utterly confusing.

    So based on what I've read here, my settings should be:

    CPU vCore: 1.475v
    CPU PLL: 1.58v
    CPU GTL Ref: 1 / 1.475 = x0.67
    NB: 1.49v
    VTT: 1.48v
    NB GTL: 0.80 / 1.48 = x0.57

    Am I correct? Thanks!
