I emailed MSI technical support asking why the GTL Ref voltage on my P45 Platinum would not go over 63%, since this might be hindering my overclocking, and I wanted to know if there was any way to fix it. The responded promptly, but with once of the dumbest answers I have ever heard. They said no because Intel does not recommend it.
WTF, this is an enthusiast mobo. Intel does not recommend I set my Vcore to more than 1.5 volts, but the board will do it. Why should my Gtl ref be limited because of what Intel recommends. That are a lot of settings that go way higher than Intel spec, but why is the one important one limited. And what crack head answer is this to give a person that asks a legitimate question to the technical support department. Just about everything I have seen, says 72% is the maximum limit anyway. Why 63%, is it a technical limit of the board, just an oversight on the bios team? I think they could have given me a better answer than that.
