I've gotten my NF7-S R2 based system up to 220MHz FSB before I got file system corruption. I'm happy at 200MHz FSB actually, my 2500+ is happy as a 3200+ and my system is really fast there.

As far as mods go, you could add a passive cooler to the SB chip, clearer audio with no crackling is a possible benefit to that. You could also put a big, passive cooler on the NB chip (the zalman model is popular and I use one successfully) to reduce system noisiness. Aside from those, there is very little need to mod the NF7-S. It does well as it is for most people.

ok im at 225Mhz(450 DDR) stable so i could put ram sinks on my south bridge to get audio cracking, oh and im using a xp 2100+ t-bred "b"

it looks like thats the limit right now
any info on how to get to 250FSB?

Good luck with that. You might want to try an intel P4C system out if you want 250MHz FSB...

i got no cash to spend on intel parts cost too much for me

I wasn't actually trying to encourage you to buy an Intel system, it was more my way of saying that you will need an nice Intel system to get 250MHz FSB. I just don't think the NF7-S has the ability to go there (nor does the vast majority of the other Socket 462 boards).
