The main thing to note about Ref volts is that they scale with VTT (CPU termination) As well as their %of VTT often forming a "sweet spot" for each configuration, it has been noted by some that the absolute value of each reference (mainly MCH Ref) is also important. For both refs settings of +2 to -3 of 0.760 @ 1.2VTT have been found to be useful. More often than not it seems that MCH ref is best set lower than default, but CPU ref could benefit from either an increase or decrease, with no discernible pattern.

This piece of information is the KEY to overclocking past 400fsb on these Gigabyte motherboards. If more people knew about this, there would be MUCH less threads in this forum from newbies.
I am glad you posted that piece of info. Most ppl get stuck at 400fsb, and they start to believe that they have a "400 fsb wall", but they don't realize how easy it is to fix by adjusting the mch reference.
I'm amazed at how your OC'ing strategy is so similar to mine! o_o
