Hi, I have an Abit IS7-E and the NB is limiting my overclock (after much testing). I had a P3 sink installed on it but I still get crashes on the Sandra memory bandwidth benchmark (at high FSBs I get crashes on regular work or even while Windows is loading (after POST)). I read that increasing AGP will also increase NB voltage and I want to know if it's also true for this mobo and more impotrantly, by how much I should increase it and should I expect my vid card to fry and die.
 
I've searched the web a lot and found many IC7 mods, but no IS7 ones and since the IS7 is more popular I'd think that if a mod was possible - someone would have done it.
Why did you increase vAGP for your system?
 
OK, that did it. AGP voltage at 1.65V fixed my all my problems. I just want to know how safe it is to run the computer all the time like this - has anyone heard of anyone who'd burnt a card like this?
 
hi,
is7-e rev1.2 here.
vchip is default low, 1,41v with load. (my p4p800=1.55v default)
i have mod my vchip to 1.65v switchable with a jumper.
but i have no change with this mod.
running ddr500, 300fsb etc....
increasing the vagp helps me better like yours.
 
At vVid 1.6 and 1.65 I get artifacts, but system stable. How do you know the voltage of the NB? and where did you find a vmod for the IS7?
