yes sir.. pencil mod on the nf7-s 🙂
nice, clean, AND FUN! hahaha
i think now i am limited by my RAM...
i can't wait to get my ch-5 back from them...
something is wrong with the stick cuz prime errors out with one stick at 210 @ 2-3-3-6 which is pretty relaxed relative to what vrzone was using...
I don't know if this is any good or not, but I started this thread over in General Hardware about running my memory @50% of my FSB using DUAL CHANNEL mode...
What I figure is, first of all... relaxing the timings on the memory just to get it to run at a faster clock speed SUCKS! and should NOT be done... It's way better to have your memory running at 6-2-2-2 than anything else...
Anyway, being my PC2700 doesn't even do 6-2-2-2 at 166mhz, I wonder of if by clocking my memory at 50% of the FSB, but running in dual channel mode will result in good performance?? Seems logical.
Right now, I am running my 2100+ t-bred "b" in my A7N8X 'lux at 233MHz fsb x10 for 2330MHz (1.8volts) and my memory at 116MHz 6-2-2-2 running in Dual channel mode.
So, my FSB is 466 and my memory bus is (233(DDR)x2 dual channel) 466. I don't know how synch'd this is, but it seems to be running smoothly... I'm downloading some benchie programs to test to see how this actually pans out.
When I get my SLK900U in (hopefully tomorrow) I will crank the FSB all the way up! (250) and see if this bad boy will hot 2.5GHz!
Yea, I could live with 500MHz FBS and Mem Bus on my t-bred. 😉 I'm pretty sure my memory will do 125MHz @ 6-2-2-2. 😀

you will see a HUGE performance hit running async especially only at 50%
if you run it in sync at 100% you will see a higher mem score than at 50%
try running in sync at 166 mhz and compare that with running 50% @ 230
you will see your scores will be higher at 166 mhz
these nforce2 boards do not like things running async... andyour scores and performance will show it

Tbred 1700+/8RDA+/512MB of crappy RAM = 11 x 200MHz (RAM runs on 166 though)
-
hey.. would it be better if I go with 12.5 x 166 instead?

mmmm.... what's A1 Northbridge? and how can I tell that my board is with "A1 Northbridge"??
oh.. and... that's an impressive overclocking job man 😉
thx.
Download CPU-Z and on the front page it will say revision.If its the new stepping it will say C1.I made a mistake on the ram.I have 2 sticks of 256MB OCZ PC3500EL Dual Chanel memory on my AMD system,"NOT" PC3700.I do have a stick of 512 OCZ PC3700EL,but its in my Intel rig.
on my epox board (which is now dead) i used to be able to get just, 206x11, anything higher or lower seemed to crash the machine and it wouldnt work right.. 😕
i use all the good stuff people recommend, you know, corsair xms3200 twinx LL memory (all 1024mbs of it) and something is still holding me back.. my temps where low on my epox board, never above 50C under full load with 1.75vcore with a spire falcon rock cooler (works fine @ 3000rpms).. but... :frown:
when my epox board died i bought a nf7-s.. that was even worse.. not only wouldnt it do the same temps and speeds as the epox, its was really unstable.. it was a rev 2 board like everyone recommended, but still was unstable and didnt work properly.. i managed to get a 1.5vcore and a 2ghz speed (10 x 200) and this thing was at 50C at full load... when it was idling it was at 42C 43C... i was gutted.. i still am gutted.. 🙁
oh by the way, i think i must have the lowest temp ever on air cooling.. no matter what i do with my cpu it read -48C.. i found out why yesterday.. the temperature probe came off... :brokenheart: but then somehow, i dont think it was working right to begin with... 😕 :disgust:
someone please tell me they are having as much trouble as i am!!?!?!? although please note I DONT WISH THIS ON ANYBODY!! but theres my fsb multiplier scores 🙂

first of all, the abit board undervolts so if you set it to 1.5vcore its actualy less than 1.5... more like 1.45 vcore
so if you want it to be 1.5 actual, you're gonna have to set it to like 1.55 or 1.575
the temp issue is that the abit board reads about 8 to 10 C's higher so if you were running 42 on the epox and the abit is reading 50, then that's just about right...
put more vcore into and see if that fixes teh stability it should...
well all i can say is that without the thermal probe installed or actually working, i wont be using the board. the higher i went with overclocking, the more unstable it got. regardless of how much voltage was used or how much chip set voltage or even memory voltage..
the only real speed it was farily sable at was 10 x 200.. and thats not enough for me, as the epox was higher,
possibly the temp was correct then, but when i set the board to shut down at 70C and give me warning at 65C and it doesnt even reach those temps (by that i mean by acutally getting to those numbers ie 65C and/or 70C) and shuts itself down, i feel there is a big problem in there somehow..
i dont like the board but i might try another one. something wasnt right with that one, abit boards that i have had, where a lot better than what this NF7-S was. such a shame
