U r the man!!! Thx for the link.... But after reading a couple of times, I can't seem to understand.... Maybe I'll ask u in MSN...

cryptik .. sish..
wrote that formula in the maximus 2 thread like a few months ago...
but he still doesnt get it..... gtl is just fine tuning for the vNB..
the main reason is this.. when u ure multiplier and bus to a certain vcore...
the previous FSB voltage NB voltage that works for the previous bus wont work..
reason is look at the gtl graph in www.edgeofstability.com
example for 533fsb i needed 1.16vtt, 1.32vnb gtl 0.63.. but its good up to 4.25ghz at 1.32v vcore..
because of the fact 4.5ghz i need more vcore the previous vtt voltage / vnb wont work..
even if i pum to 1.7v on vcore it wont work..i mean it will boot but wont pass any stress test to the cpu...
this is where gtl really comes in play..
its to maintain the same ratios or support resistance level ( hahahaha.. cant beleive i am actually using this word in overclocking) but the same GTL values..
i hope this explains a bit.
same thing for quads who require high vcore but not really high vNB.
cryptik wrote wrongly and took it out of text..
i wrote that just for one guy system.. not a general rule..and he is making a lot of general rules..
dont want u guys to fall into that.

another example which all of u i think must have not realize something..
previously when u ran orthos at a certain vcore for high mHZ speed u suddenly hit a brickwall that the vcore needs to be raised exponentially.
1.so ure answer is the proc scales well to that vcore... or 2. the most commonly answer is ure proc is too hot.. ( but already disapproved when u ran linpack to 80C.. )
what if i was to tell u its not that..
this is where vid numbers really come into play...
low vid procs has neeeds lower vcore to run.. but because of this it wont suffer easily like the above issue with vNB and vFSB.
but when u look at the speed to speed of a higher vid.. the heat output for both proc and different vcore is same.
but the difference is to go higher mhz he doesnt have to tax the mobo a lot or adjust a lot..
this is the difference..
and worst still each mobo i/o.. crossovers are different etc...
so yes for a certain speed its acheivable on all the mobos but for higher speed stability.. some mobo out there might suprise u
but it only might work for ure proc.. not a general rule to all procs..
