Agp 4x, MSI K7T (6330) Lite, Geforce 2 GTS PRO
Further reading on this subject generates more confusion. After
reading several posts about AGP 4x using I/O voltage of 1.5v and 2x/1x using I/O voltage of 3.3v which are both irregardless of the fact that the main AGP power will be 3.3v, I can't understand why I haven't smoked either the K7T board, the Geforce 2 GTS Pro or both. I start to believe that I have found a fluke of hardware engineering. The K7T still says it's pumping out 3.3v but the Geforce says it using AGP 4x. If I really did get AGP 4x then the Geforce appears to be able to use 3.3v I/O voltage for 4x. The card is supposed to autosense which is available but the fact that it apparently handles both is impressive. I think I'll turn off AGP 4x just to be safe - even though it has run for many hours sucessfully. I'd hate to see anyone out there smoke their computer for such a goal. I've merely sent an e-mail to MSI to see if they have any recommendations. Unless the Geforce was able to force the K7T to supply 1.5v it seems like I'm going to have problems later on. |
