Got my nf7-s

[corbec]

installed and running...i aint overclocking till i flash my 2nd bios chip just in case. that i will do after school. but when i goto activate windows it says it cant connect...wtf?? are their servers down or seomthing? cause my internet works cause im friggen typing to you. mmm aeroflow...35°C. then i get to put all my §§§§ back on. btw i made a 10gb benching partition ...then this weekeend i get to write a 1000 word review!

yes sadly...im reviewing it. laugh up


o and one other thing...the headphone jacks for my speakers or headphones dont fit in the row that has the green blue and red line in. wtf! but they go into the orange and black one. wtf is up with that

how do i do a hot flash to revive my old bios chip???

[xDUCK]

Please start seperate topics for each question. Windows activation has nothing to do with sound out, which has nothing to do with hot flashing (besides, the latter can be answered with a simple search anyway).

I would answer your questions, but you were extremely rude to me in the past, so...:stick:

you loosen the chip up buy pulling it out while the pc is off,reinsert it half way then boot up.be carefull and pull the chip with your finger nails.

now on reinserting just be carefull aligning all the pins up so it doesnt go in :banana::banana::banana::banana:eyed and push in easy.even if you buy the tools you still have to do this.and buy leaving it half inserted before the pull its no biggy.

be carefull also.when you reinsert it it is possable to really mess pins up on the chip.just go slow and u will be fine.

ive done this as ive flashed a dead 8rda with my nf7-s by swapping chips also.

one edge has a flat spot of i remember and i edged a razor blade in enough to pry it up on the sides.just make sure everything is unplugged.

patience will be your best friend as this took me many trys even when i knew what i was doing.

Remember to be careful with a razor blade, you don't want to cut up your hands. :eek:

[deathstar13]

screw my hands i didnt want to bend one of the ic legs off, or bend them so they wont work again. one bad bend and if you try and bend it back they are so weak it feels it will snap off.

razor blades are my best tools i use.that and fingernail polish remover.my folks prolly think i just have a weird drug habit and like cross dressing or something lol

[corbec]

guys remember THE SYS HAS TO BE ON.
"just make sure everything is unplugged."
cant happen if everythings on can it? i think that leaving it out halfway is a liil risky. oops one of the legs didnt touch correctly...damn now i have no bios.

hey hey hey...ive had like 10min to tweak

[deathstar13]

it should be off when you pull it completly out to reseat it half way is what i mean.the legs all make contact it half way.and i dont see how it can screw the bios up as erasing it.

hey just offering the advice asked of me.
wether its taken,done,ignored is of no matter to me.
not to sound upset and im not but about everything we do here has risks.buy the tool as it my be handy.

[corbec]

grrr wtf i cant get this damn sound to work...install drivers and everything...do that 3x...screw with bios settings and it wont play any sound or have any sound device selected + the headphone jacks for my speakers or headphones dont fit in the row that has the green blue and red line in. wtf! but they go into the orange and black one. wtf is up with that

[Volcom]

WELL TOTAL §§§§ =WTF ?

[corbec]

WHAT are you saying?

[deathstar13]

could be possable you missed a nforce mobo driver for the chipset?been a while since ive seen a nf7 in my hands so i dont remember all the mobo drivers names.

i do kinda remember having a hard time getting my speaker input in the socket also.worked after a few trys tho.

[corbec]

rgr thx...yea im dl a utility from nvidia...will see if it works.

and no hard feelling about me not taking your advice...id feel much more comfortable waiting for my mum to bring home her plastic dental tools...metal ones i used worked great.

[Volcom]

Nothing i got nothing to do lol just joking a round and reading bs I am geting this mobo in a week or 2

[corbec]

ummm well id rather you go find another thread to spam in...



grrr it was some gay overclocking utility lol.

[felix88]

if you're worried about damaging something while removing the BIOS chip, maybe you should get one of those IC extractors. they aren't too expensive.

[corbec]

ive removed it many times before...i just need something thats not metal to remove it...thats all.

[felix88]

well, i generally find that using the tool designed for the job is much easier.

[corbec]

sure i agree 100%. just i didnt want to spend 10bucks for a plastic tool when i have dentist tools that will work. i just need to wait for my mom to bring home her plastic ones.

i got the sound working...
i had to push harder than i wanted to to get the jacks in, but now they go in without much problem. also i had to goto device manager and goto everything related to audio and click install drivers for that. also there were a bunch of conflicts between the 6 nforce2 mem controllers (6 in device manager???wtf) so i had to individually install drivers for em.

now the only problem is the front channel is like 2x as loud as rear. there is no way to change that. but i remember with my old soundcard there was a front rear option...how do i change this? also the subwoofer/center line out doesnt work...but if i plug the center/sub into the rear or front port it works. i have it set to 5.1surround sound as my headphones are 5.1 surround

That's what I thought, but they are surprisingly resilient, I have an NF7-S BIOS chip that was mangled to hell on extraction, but after a bit of bending, all is fine, so if they do bend, just go gentle and easy, and all should be fine.

And Volcom, I could do with a few new pairs of combat pants if your name has any relation to the company. :p:
