Ok in the softmenu setup on my friend's IP35E I see the following:

Voltages Control
CPU Core Voltage
DDR2 Voltage
CPU VTT Voltage
ICH 1.50V Voltage
MCH 1.25V Voltage
CPU GTLREF

1. Which setting corresponds to the FSB Voltage setting on other motherboards? Is it the MCH Voltage? But some motherboards have settings for both North Bridge and FSB Voltage..
2. I've read on forums that anything beyond 1.38V will damage the lifespan of a E8XX processor. But some other forums state that the voltage that's actually harmful is the FSB Voltage not Vcore. Which is it?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this..

Yep, i understand what Vcore and Vmch do. I'm trying to figure out Vfsb as a couple other mobos i've used actually have 'Vfsb' as a setting, but the IP35E does not..

Well thanks, but your answer is a bit terpesong.
I'm asking about Vfsb, not Vcore and Vmch as your reply..

Also, ignore my 2nd question. Intel design docs state the Vcore wall for E8XXX procs to be 1.45v.

Haha I understand your point, thing is I'm not satisfied cos other motherboards have all 3 settings - Vcore, Vmch and Vfsb.

Yep you're right about Vfsb being related to Vmch and Vtt. I'm thinking (now) that the IP35E autocontrols Vfsb as a function of Vmch and Vtt..
