Not over 200FSB

[Noktar]

My System:

AXP 1700+ Jiuhb
Abit NF7-s
Asus Fx5900
512Mb KXH DDr 3500 A00 (BH5?)

I can run the System at 11x200 Sync and the Mem at 2-2-3-6
But if I get 202 Mhz FSB the System does not boot.

What can help?`
A Bios Update? Or somethin' else?

Btw. how can i do a Bios Update with a Cd?

Whats your vcore ?

If you havent got a floppy then flash it from your HDD, make a dir on C called Flash or whatever you want then when you go to flash your bios just direct to there and not the floppy drive, ie
CD C:\
CD Flash

vCore is 1.8V
When I give 1.875V thera are only Beep Tones and no more reactions.

Wich Bios is the best 4 overclocking and the one with the best stability?

Btw. how I can flash the Bios of my Abit Board? Wich Key I have to press to come to the flash option?

[Slay3r]

Check the manual to see what the beep tones mean and check the manual for the key.
Do a forums search on the NF7's bios's and you should find the best bios for it.

thx
I try an post if there are problems

Is it an NF7-S 2.0 or the original? If it isn't the 2.0 I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't do 200fsb.

But not more.
And it's the Rev. 2.0
Because of the I'm being suprised

I would try the D22 Alpha1 bios. It is a proven bios.

Here are the bios files depending on the SATA version you want, if you even care which version of the SATA Drivers you use:

SATA 4247 (http://downloads.modlabs.net/bios/pic/Abit-NF72-D22A1-4247.zip) SATA 4227 (http://downloads.modlabs.net/bios/pic/Abit-NF72-D22A1-4227.zip)

Although most would say that the L12 isnt needed for the Rev2 boards, I would certainly give that a go as well. Here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15300) is a lenghty thread about that subject, and below is a straight forward pic on it. The purple line in the socket is where to place a thin copper wire or 2 into the socket to short out the pins on the cpu. The wire(s) should be long enough to bend into a horse shoe shape and slide into the pin holes.

I had trouble with the KHX3500 BH5 sticks in my NF2 platform. If you indeed have BH5 under those spreaders, that could be your problem. Only way to find out is to have a look under the spreaders.

L12 isn't needed for the 2.0 boards! Ha!

I couldn't do 210mhz b4 the L12 mod and now I can do 230mhz stable at the same voltage.

It DEFINATELY helps.

This:

Is the one that I did.

I did the mod that is vertical (up and down) not the angled one.

It definately helped me!

o.K.
I try the Pinmod tomorrow.
And which of these Bios Versions I should take?
I don't know which SATA Driver is use.
I only use the nf2 drivers.
