Need help from VIA motherboard users

Hello everyone!

I'm researching something on V-Link. I need your help in confirming my findings. If you can, please help me do this :

Thanks!

 

Hello Elkdad,

In that case, just leave V-Link 8X Supported at Enabled. And just get me the V-Link status for V-Link Data 2X Support enabled and disabled.

Thanks!!

 

Hello Elkdad,

Just click on Motherboard -> Motherboard. You should be able to see Bus Type : VIA V-Link. It's that screen.

Thanks!

 

Ah darn, I just realized that your motherboard supports only V-Link 8X. It doesn't support Ultra V-Link.

Does anyone here have a motherboard that supports Ultra V-Link?

Thanks!

 

What motherboard do you need? The latest ones?

 

All I need is a VIA motherboard that supports Ultra V-Link (1GB/s transfer rate between the north bridge and the south bridge).

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!

 

Hello Domster,

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

Thanks!!

 

Hey, no fault of yours!!

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

 

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.

 

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?
