ABIT AI7 (Springdale) - NB/AGP Core Voltage?
Softmenu Setup - AGP VDDQ Voltage: 1.55 Voltage Monitoring - NB/AGP Core Voltage: 1.57 Why does it say under the monitoring tab NB/AGP? Is that meaning Northbridge? I noticed allot of people who overclock their P4's set the AGP to 1.6v or 1.65v which I never could understand, but if it is giving extra volts to the northbridge then I understand. What does VDDQ mean? Many thanks -- Wayne ][ Intel® Pentium® 4 - Online! :P

What does VDDQ mean? Many thanks Vddq is the I/O supply voltage for an AGP card and used for the data transmission, or "signaling" circuitry on the card. The min and max Vddq voltage is 1.425V and 1.575V respectivley.

Why does it say under the monitoring tab NB/AGP? Is NB meaning Northbridge? I don't know; I don't have that MB. Looking at the manual, there is a BIOS setting in the Softmenu Setup listed as "N/B Strap CPU As" which has to do with the Memory Controller Hub. There is no listing for NB voltage, just for AGP Vddq voltage, and no mention of what N/B is. North Bridge sounds logical, though.

NB does mean Northbridge.

"TomG" wrote NB does mean Northbridge. Hi, thanks Tom. So if that is the case it would appear that the AGP voltage is also effecting the NorthBridge?. I always found on nForce2 boards that you needed to *increase* the voltage to the Northbridge when you were overclocking. If bumping up the AGP Voltage has a *knock-on* effect to the Northbridge then I can see why the overclockers are running 1.65v to their AGP. I will test it out soon, but I'm not sure why the NB description only appears on the voltage-monitoring page and not softmenu? -- Wayne ][ Intel® Pentium® 4 - Online! :P

nb = nota bene = note well; or, maybe, in this case, northbridge B^)

I cannot speak to whether the NB and AGP voltages are linked. I have not
heard of anyone else in the group going this direction to enhance OC-ability. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 130,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "Wayne Youngman" wrote in message ...
