ASUS K8V Deluxe
As ASUS’ forerunner in to the Athlon64 fray, the K8V Deluxe looks to be a fine competitor, packing the power of the VIA K8T800 chipset along with a hoard of other features…
BIOS (continued)
The Jumperfree Configuration menu within the Advanced tab contains various settings for controlling system voltage and CPU operation.
The CPU FSB Frequency option controls the speed of the CPU by allowing manipulation of the FSB speed. This setting also determines the speed of the system memory when combined with the Memclock to CPU Ratio option within the Memory Configuration sub-submenu within the Memory Configuration submenu of the CPU Configuration menu. Through the CPU FSB Frequency option, the system can be configured with an FSB ranging from 200 MHz all the way to 300 MHz. However, since there is no available multiplier manipulation, reaching the 300 MHz FSB will most likely prove elusive. The Performance Mode option controls how aggressively the CPU and memory interact with the rest of the system. The Turbo3 setting configures the system to operate in the most aggressive manner, and will provide the best performance.
The VCORE Offset option controls the voltage supplied to the CPU, allowing for at most .30v over default voltage. While this may not prove to be enough to push the system too far, it should allow for a fairly sizeable overclock. The DDR Voltage option controls the memory voltage, and allows for a maximum voltage of 2.8v. Again, this is adequate for most users, but will limit how aggressively your memory can run at higher FSB speeds. The AGP voltage sets the voltage for your AGP card, with a sizeable maximum of 1.7v. This should be enough for any amount of AGP FSB overclocking. The V-Link Voltage option controls the controls the voltage supplied to the chipset and the link between the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets. A maximum of 2.7v is allowed, which should give you enough voltage to maneuver.
