Thanks for the assist, Yeah, I disconnected all power and left it overnight to discharge, after hitting the power button a few times to discharge the caps, no luck. I did get an e-mail from ABIT tech support though, containing this choice paragraph: "Sometimes when BIOS is corrupted it is...

The problem is, it's not a CMOS checksum error, it's a BIOS ROM checksum error, it won't even let me get into the BIOS. I have tried using a bootable BIOS disk with every BIOS version and AWDFLASH version available, and an autoexec.bat like mentioned on Wims BIOS guide, still no luck. I have...

First of all, hello! Now. Well, last night I decided to give ABIT FlashMenu a try, to update my NF7-S Rev 2.0, and needless to say first impressions are not good. Halfway through the flash (performed with all settings at stock), my machine was rebooted, and then started up with this...

Get yourselves a copy of WPCREDIT and WPCRSET, and find out if you can enable the CPU cooling option for your motherboard chipset. I use them on an ABIT NF7-S Rev 2.0 and get a drop of about 9-10 degrees, plus you don't have any extra programs running and munching up resources, like CPUcool etc.

That's because the nForce2 motherboards get better memory bandwidth at 11-2-2-2 than at 6-2-2-2 for example. AFAIK it's just a quirk in the chipset.

Basically, throw it up to about 2v tops, as long as your cooling is OK, keep your full load temps below about 55c and you'll be fine. I had an 1800+ that was ticking along at 1.9v for months, no problems.

Uh-Oh, looks like you killed O-CuK ukdave. /me snaps a shot of the smoking gun... But seriously, any idea what has happened to the O-CuK site/forums?
