Need help from VIA motherboard users - Page 4

Adrian Wong · 9th Jun 2006, 12:40 AM

That's okay. Thanks for trying.

I just need a motherboard with a BIOS that has both V-Link Mode Selection and V-Link Data 2X Support.

are you looking for something like these attached files??
its a Asus P4V800D-X. I got it for the AGP and PCI-express slots together on the same board.

Yes! If possible, please do this for me...

Quote:

1. Go to the BIOS and set V-Link Mode Selection to Mode 4 and set V-Link Data 2X Support to Disabled.

2. Boot up and run Everest. Use it to check the V-Link status and save me a screenshot.

3. Reboot and go to the BIOS. Set V-Link Data 2X Support to Enabled.

4. Boot up and run Everest again. Check the V-Link status and save a screenshot.

5. Now, go back to the BIOS and set V-Link Data 2X Support to Disabled. Then set V-Link Mode Selection to Mode 0, 1, 2 and 3 - grabbing a screenshot for each setting.

Then send all the screenshots to me. Of course, you have to let me know which was for what.

If you have no idea how to name them, try this way :-

data2x_off_mode_0.gif
data2x_off_mode_1.gif
...
data2x_on_mode_4.gif

Thanks!!!

i suppose i should restore my clock setting too while im at it lol...
i understand you want to see modes 0-4 with data2X enabled/disabled per mode correct? also i have a V-Link 8X support option do you wish for that to be enabled or disabled...

may i ask is this for your B.O.G. research, and do i get a brownie or something for this?lol

i can understand why you have a hard time finding info on these settings. i had to order my MB from europe somewhere, just to get a true AGP and PCI-express slot (only 4X tho)

but i digress ill have the files up by tonight hopefully

If possible, get me all possible combinations of the three BIOS settings. That would really help me determine whether my theories are correct.

Hahaha.. I will definitely give you Rep Points for this!!

Thanks!!!!

.....90K reboots later.......
sorry for the delay im "borrowing" my inet, tends to be unreliable at times.

umm so here is the attached files of all possible V-Link settings available in my BIOS. the V-Link8X support is only possible on the AUTO mode setting, so i have those in there as well.

i hope this helps your research, i have alot of questions about the V-link and SATA support. also i have yet to experience any HD data corruption as of yet......

feel free to ban/flame or whatever you forum dwellers do, but i was curious if i could trade these mysterious "rep" points for a copy of the B.O.G.????

i hope a .rar is ok too many files to attach...

Yea, right. They'll throw in a Gutenberg Bible too.

Get to 1000 rep points and you can trade it for the blank white page right behind the cover.

Rep points are worth almost as much as BOINC credits.

LOL

Thanks for your assistance, rexsven! I do hope this will help me clear up this BIOS setting once and for all.

LOL! Unfortunately, they have no intrinsic value. Rep points merely show others what everyone here thinks of any particular forum member.

But don't worry. You will not go unrewarded for your help. UGPM!

rexsven · 25th Feb 2007, 08:47 AM

im glad i could help.

heres my master plan with the points..... First trade the "rep" points into BOINC points(whatever they are), then convert those into MYSPACE/MYSPAM friends.... THEN they will be actually worth something!!!

Good plan.

BOINC - a platform to use idle CPU time for something worthwhile and accumulate credits. The credits you can probably not spend at the corner store.
