GTLcontrol code update v2.0 online

You might have seen the control software I put up for Gigabyte Tweak Launcher (GTL) about a month back. At the competitive end of overclocking the ability to dynamically control the clock speed is priceless, it can be the difference between those last 10 points you need to take the world record. GTLcontrol provides this functionality to any motherboard that supports Gigabyte's GTL.

I have updated the code base to include a full GUI, hotkeys for bclk/multi up/down adjustments and I've also cleaned up the code to increase the performance a little.


The hotkeys F7/F8 are used for multi up/down and F10/F11 are now used for bclk up/down. This allows low end Gigabyte boards to be used just like the uber high end Z77X-UP7.

Also to support the GUI functionality is a new F5 hotkey to "show" the GUI if you have hidden it. I suggest turning the GUI off once you have your settings right, as then GTLcontrol will use less memory and impact your benchmark less. I have done extensive testing with it off and on and found no efficiency loss, but better to be safe than sorry. Please note that if you do turn the GUI off, you need to manually turn it back on by setting "gui=1" in the gtlcontrol.ini file.

Remember when you make any changes to save and then hit reload, this will activate the changes.

Feel free to take this code and do whatever you want with it, please email me any changes as I would like to check them out.

You can download the full version from here or the source code from my github.

Enjoy!
