View Full Version : the ultimate NF7-S strangeness!!!
223 x 10.5 = 2341.5mhz - fails prime <1minute
223 x 11 = 2453mhz - runs prime for 5 hours without an error
HOW THE HELL DO YOU WORK THAT ONE OUT?

I've read that some setups don't work well with the multi's set at .5 increments. try taking it down to 10, or even up to 12 and see if it still runs fine, and then try some more .5 increments to see:)
These are certainly strange boards....same sort of o-clock as my job lot of 0308 spmw's....go to over 2500mhz.
What voltage are you using and what are your temps m8.
Thanks
gotit at 1.825 in bios atm, 1.74 to 1.76 in mbm.
had it up to 2521mhz at 1.93v but had to have the case open or it was too hot. load temps then were about 58c.
now im gettin 59c load with a 47cfm 80mm delta and slk900, case closed.
its doing my head in now as temps are still so high AND the pc sounds like a bluddy hoover now.
oh and this IS an 0308 spmw :p
strangeness continues even with 1.2 bios. 225x10.5, well within cpu speed. no boot, NTFS error.
225x10, boots fine and prime stable.
these boards are just rediculous. all the .5 multipliers are stupidly unstable unless you drop the speeds right down. on wonder people are complaining of not being able to get high fsb AND high multi, itll be down to them using a .5 multi.
now my problem is 225x10 is way below what my cpu will do. but 225x11 is above it, so i can either lose 200mhz cpu speed or 4mhz fsb.

My score drops about 1000pts at 220fsb compared to what it is at 215fsb :confused:
personally im not thinking screw this i want a p4 2.4c and canterwood, you dont hear of this crap from anyone with an intel.

I have seen a post on this forum where someone said only the 11x, 13x, and 15x multipliers work well at very high fsb on NF2 boards. Unfortunately I can't remember who it was and I can't find the post (not being able to search for 3 letter words is a major drag on an o/c forum - ram, cpu, mod, vdd, nf7, fsb, 13x...etc...:().

MRLavender, don't know if it helps but you can search using ram*, cpu*, mod*, etc - the "*" wildcard gets you the necessary 4 characters for the search!

Very interesting ! Hmm I think I'll try the 11x instead of 10.5 or 11.5 that I usually use (and they suck). Hopefully I can achieve higher FSB as currently my NF7 v2.0 sucks big time.

it sucks on 1700+'s you have to deal with no 13+ multi's unless you cut bridges :mad:

u can access all multi on the NF7-S ... coz it has that 5 bit FID thing :)

Wow, wich CPU can handle high FSB at 15x?
:D
Would be 3 GHz @ FSB 200 and thats not a high FSB:stick:

Here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?postid=137242#post137242) is the post, by JC which is probably why I took notice of it. ;)
well i think im gonna dump this on ebay and go back to intel after 5 years in the wilderness :P
if so then ill be selling my 1700 that ive had up to 2511, should get quite a bit for that, and this unmodded NF7-S 2.0.

Yep, but only with 2100+ and above.... or you need your 5-th L3 bridge to be cut...
