Chipset Voltage?

[DKlein]

Just curious, for what reason should I adjust this?

Same as CPU. If you give it more voltage, you can push higher FSB with your northbridge chipset. Sometimes, not only CPU limits higher FSB, northbridge blocks your way. (BTW, only capable to AMD mobos. Intel chipset has chipset voltage fixed)

Thanks. Another question then: should I have to adjust voltage on an nF7-S board when FSB is at 200? I'm having some harware difficulties, not sure if it's CPU or what (although I'm thinking it is).

Which revision of the NF7-S do you have? I am guessing you do not have to adjust your VDD at 200MHz. At least mine (v2.0) doesn't need to since it's the nForce2 Ultra400 chipset, which means it supports 200MHz natively.

Believe it is 2.0, I suppose it's the CPU anyway.
