Q9550 gtl settings

setter · 10 Aug 2009 at 01:25

What is the default gtl settings for a 45nm quad, im currently running my q9550 at 3.8ghz, on a very low vcore, all gtl's on auto, gonna bump the fsb to 471, ive heard i may have to work with gtl's at this speed. Any advice appreciated

its hiy and miss with the GTL voltages just have to try them

there was a formula i saw once but it was way beyond my understanding of maths!!

Read this guide

Read it, understand it, read it again, try some settings and test, then tweak based on that. Reading through the thread will help as a lot of people have posed questions, certain setups etc that may help you with stability.

GTL refs are all about tweaking though

The thread PaulyD has linked helped me a fair bit, iirc there's a Q9550 thread somewhere on that forum too, worth a read setter
