so Vlink 8x is the cause?I have an idea, let's put the nice blue head sink on SB from NB, and get a fan to activly cool the NB (there are 2 holes around NB for the fan)
AGP 8x is directly link to memory, have anything to do with the Vlink?
Vlink is to transform all system IOs' data from SB to NB, and According to VIA, the Vlink have a fix freq at 266Mhz. If fsb increase, Vlink should remain same otherwise ABit must do something wrong. Still no idea how it crush the agp.
maybe we can suggest Abit to lock the Vlink speed. If fsb get higher, it doesnt have impact on system.
I think use NB heatsink is not possible because the NB one is too big and
also no thermal tape or sticker provided, I actually just bought a CoolerMaster chipset heatsinker with a fan from SLS, I will try tonight, but so far I tested, @266Mhz my machine can run 3D mark03 70 loops without any error(around 5 hours). That is why I sacrify my lunch time to buy a CM chipset fan. it comes with a double side thermal sticker under the heatsink and it can use 12v as input or a converter to use 5V i think, it is oringinally designed for NB so it is a litte bit large for the SB, but I tried at Fuwell, it can be put in. it is not expensive, 10S$, for the other shop 15S$.
i would like to use a active fan cooling to make sure all my mother board chipsets are stable.So let us try and find out.
