Barton 2500+ with Abit NF7-S rev. 2

[cowdog]

I haven't pushed to see where this will go yet, but right now I am running a comfortable 11x205.
The highest FSB I have tried so far is 210, and that posted fine. Running everything stock with no mods. I guess I was luck in that this Barton doesn't need me to cut the L12 bridge for 200+ fsb.

Nice mobo! Everything is working slick so far. I'll keep pushing and probing to get a better feel for where this OC can go. I plan to stick in a TbredB 2100+ for comparison, although the slk-800u is a little bit of a hassle to get on/off. The lever arm for the processor slot doesn't want to go up/down unless I remove the standoffs on that side.

And one other semi-related note: This Lian-Li PC7_something case is HUGE! I wanted a good size case, but this is way more than I expected.

modding the board is EASY

simple pencil and multimeter is all you need to get your vdd voltage to 1.9 to 2.1 or even higher...

1.2 and higher...

but vdd only goes to 1.7 ... so you do a pencil trick to get to 1.9v

i think you had better replace the thermal interface if you plan on volt moddin to those volts cowdog


about the big case:
it sure as hell is alot better than having a small case for that heatsink!
id like to b!tchslap the wiseguy who wanted the socket rotated 90degrees on nforce2 lol
(unless its an architectural necessity of some sort?)
