NF7-S Rev 1 vs Rev 2

[bhanson]

What are the major differences, I remember reading that only the Rev 2 board supports a 400Mhz FSB. Is it still worth it to have a Rev 1 board? What are the other differences. Would it still be possible to o/c a 2500+ -> 3200+ on a Rev 1?

heatsink area differences

rev1s have some difficulty running @ 200 mhz i believe

also, there was a bios corruption issue with the rev1

Rev1 and 1.2 have older Nvidia chipsets and as shady06 stated, they have problems running@ 200FSB

Ver 1: Heatsink holes are missing, chipset is different, and the board cannot run Barton overclocked, not even to 200.

Hmm, well that doesn't sound very appealing.

 

[klocwerk]

no. stay away from v1. definitely go v2 if you're doing any overclocking whatsoever.

 

[Shimmishim]

if you can't get a 2 which i don't see how you couldn't, then try to get a v1.2

Well I was going to buy a NF7-S for $60, but it's Rev 1.2. I'm not sure if I want to get this.
