ebarone Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'd say do not touch the GTL reference voltage. Its essentially a threshold value, and setting it too high can give the same effect as setting it too low, aka system failure. Its one of those settings that needs to be set juuust right, and according to that article that I forced my way through (I love me some technical papers!), auto is wayyy better than manual setting. Maybe try messing with it to see whats up, but that shouldnt be your problem. I dont get it exactly though... are those the settings you want to run at or that you do run at? When/where does the OC fail? Temps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebarone Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Edit: http://www.evga.com/support/drivers/ Select Mainboard -> BIOS updates -> nforce 790i Ultra SLI to get to the newest BIOS page. Read down a little ways, there are instructions on how to flash a new BIOS from within Windows, as well as a way to do it by burning a CD. I'd imagine the Windows way will also tell you your current BIOS revision. Edited February 25, 2009 by ebarone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
