Hey guys...I just finished up my volt mod on my mobo. Im running the d23 subzero r.2 CPC ON bios. Ive tried the other ones and this one seems to work best. Anyway, I maxed out at about 233fsb before. Now I have done the L12 mod, VDD volt mod, VDIMM volt mod to 3.3, vtt=vref to keep vdimm auto tracking, as well as adding a heatsink on the southbridge and adding more thermal paste to the northbridge.
I have pretty much read up on all the mods but it seems like ive hit a wall. Im running two sticks of BH5 btw.
any suggestions? (I've tried D10 and it doesnt work well for me)
thanks!

Try only one stick, and try a bit worst timings.

Run a divider and see if your memory is limiting it, or your FSB hit a wall...
235MHz FSB is not bad at all for NF7-S, but I think you should be seeing more... hmmm. Mine hits about 240MHz before hitting the wall, but i've only done the L12 mod, and penciled the VDD.
Have you tried running one stick, or swapping slots in the board ?

i used to run one stick...but i bought another stick because i wanted dual channel and i thought upping the VDIMM would allow the ram to go up to at least 240.
as for swapping slots...should i try 2,3 instead of 1,3?

Try use the second and third dimm slot yes. I use them and my nf7-s does 246fsb http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload7/246.jpg (link here) ...
I've only added some vdd with the pencil modd and cooled the sb chip. How much vdd do you have? Are you sure that it isn“t your cpu that is stopping you?

i tried mod3 bios too....d23 subzero was still better...i think the mod3 got me up to like 237 but the bandwidth scores were lower i think because mod3 is cpc disabled?
