The motherboard should also have the BIOS features of V-Link Mode Selection and V-Link Data 2X Support.

Some motherboards may come with V-Link 8X Support and V-Link Data 2X Support. They are useful too.

Thanks!

On the V-link mode selection, I have the option to go from 4x to 8x but I don't seem to be able to find this V-Link Data 2x Support. Could it be under a different name. sorry, i'm a real NoOb!!

Hello Domster,

Would it be possible for you to get me a picture of the page with the V-Link options?

Thanks!!

Thanks for turning me on to the neat utility. I've been studying it.

Hey, no fault of yours!!

In actual fact, they were useful in helping me confirm one part of the issue. Thanks!!

Adrian,
Don't know it this'll help. Dosen't seem to be a whole lotta options for V-Link in my BIOS.

I don't know how to take screenshots in BIOS so I just got out the Nokia.

I hope it helps. If you need more pics of me BIOS options, just ask.

i thought V-Link Data Rate stands for "Video-Link Data Rate"

Hello Domster,

From what I can see, your chipset supports Ultra V-Link but the EPoX BIOS seems to allow only a maximum of V-Link 8X.

Could you help me verify this by running Everest and getting the screenshots of the V-Link properties with Vlink Data Rate set to 8X and 4X?

Thanks!

Nope, it's not.

Here's the V-Link 4x.....

And V-Link 8x.......

Adrian Wong · 16th Nov 2005, 11:39 PM

Yup, looks like your motherboard's fixed to a maximum of V-Link 8X. Probably they didn't implement all 16 data lines.

How do you tell if they have implemented 16 lines?
