CPUZ reports "Link width" and x2 and maximum x16

Why wouldn't my board/card be running at x16?
 
Sounds like the issue the P5B dlx had. Upping NB voltage was the answer on that mobo I believe, what's yours atm?

I spent the majority of the evening playing with voltages and other cpu's trying to max out the FSB of this board. I also never pushed my ram and was finding the ceiling on that too. I was happy, my mushkin ddr2-800 ran @ ddr2-1200 @ 2.35 volts. I used to run it at only 900! :)

I'll try the NB volts and report back
 
I bumped the FSB, north, and PLL volts all up one notch. CPUZ now reports x16 link width.

Not sure about temps with the extra voltage. Going to observe later, must go to evil work now :)
