Hello,

I am looking for help understanding this tREF thing, I don't know much about it and can see the board is automatically changing it depending on the overclock and how the memory is set to run. I gather this can be tweaked for extra performance or increased stability but I'm not sure where to start? :confused:

If anyone has been here before and can share a few insights that would be great! :)

Hi Greebo,

thanks for the info, I'm gonna have to read that a dozen times as it quite complicated! :o

Regarding the GTL thing, I did start with them all on [Auto] and just changed the master VTT voltage. Once I understood how the GTL values were derived (0.63x - 63% etc) I did actually make a calculation and *lucked* out.

I suppose with enough understanding of the subject it would be possible to perform calculations for the whole shebang but until that point is reached you can just go down the trial and error route! :p

Anyway I should stop talking GTL there as this thread was hopefully gonna net some tREF info! ;)

Although I have a feeling tREF is one of those fuzzy areas (like GTL) where there isn't a lot of public info going round, I suppose I'll put some time aside for some Trial And error testing! :D
 
Thanks for the replies Greebo & kitfit1! :)

It's all above my head atm but will hopefully get some time soon to get some testing sorted out. I didn't actually see tREF in the BIOS, is it really not an available option then? :confused:
