Gigabyte Terminology & Overclocking help

[PeterStoba]

Hi,

In my BIOS MIT section, when in control and F1 to get more options i get 3 extra voltage options (bold ones)

System OverVoltage Control: Manual
DDR2 OverVoltage Control: 0.2v
DDR2 DeOverVoltage Control: Normal
PCI-E OverVoltage Control: Normal
FSB OverVoltage Control: Normal
FSB DeOverVoltage Control: Normal
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control: Normal
(G)MCH DeOverVoltage Control: Normal

Now, I know what each one does, apart from the DeOverVoltage Controls, are they the equivelant to, GTL refs or anything? or is it to keep the voltage as close to the set votlage as possible, vdrop control and stuff?

Also, I am currently at 430 x 10, bench stable at the moment, using 1.325v. However, I can't boot at 435x10 using 1.33750v, you think i need more volts or the nb needs more voltage?

system is in sig btw

Peter.

Leave the bold ones as they are my friend.

I'd up your volts on your chip to 1.35v at least.

Just for your information, bench stable is NOT good enough. Orthos it if you want to be sure it is 100% stable. I got my rig bench stable but as soon as I went into a game, BSOD. I later found out it required just a bump in the VCore and all was sorted and has been stable to this day.
