So, what's your highest FSB on the NF7-S v.1.2 ?

.....

[gokickrocks]

although my dead rev1.2 is currently collecting dust...my rev1.0 did 225

[twiggy]

237 with the vdd mod.

[mdzcpa]

I have mine prime stable at 230mhz....but it will not 3D there without intermittent CTD.

3DMark able to loop endlessly at 225mhz:D However, to get there I need to run very relaxed mem timings.....8,4,4, 2.5T

My 24/7 fsb is 220mhz at 7,3,3 2T. Rock solid there for all apps.

Not a single mod to the board:D:D

[xgman]

Twiggy, is the vdd mod on 1.2 same as on 1.1? Are you reading the vdd voltage with a meter or in bios somewhere?

[twiggy]

Yes the vdd mod is the same on all nf7's so far and Im reading the voltage with a multi meter.

[OPPAINTER]

twiggy,

What kind mem and timings are you useing for 237? Lets see a mem bench at 237 :)

OPP

[twiggy]

Timings are 2.5-2-2-6 but I just did a hour test and havent played with it since, hopefully it'll do better after a good burn in. Im gonna pull off the NB heatsink and see if I can find anything local to replace it with cause I dont feel comfortable pumping almost 2v into the chipset, I dont know tho I might say screw it cause it really dont get all that hot. We'll see :)


Let me switch over hard drives and hook up the pot and I'll post some benchies for ya. :)

[twiggy]

Here ya go. :)

[mdzcpa]

Wow...very nice twiggy:D

[ExtremeAMD]

Nice twiggy!

Hey, how high did you say you got my board? I thought you said 217. :)

[twiggy]

Yep 217 with tight timmings with no vdd mod. Have you did the vdd mod yet?

[Alexandrus]

Cool, what RAM is that ?

Here goes:

External Clock 225
Multiplier 11.5
AGP 66mhz
FSB/DRAM 6/6
CPU Interface Disabled (this is CPU fast command decode btw)

CPU Core 1.93v
DDR 2.9v
Chipset 1.7v
AGP 1.6v

Timings Expert
7
3
3
2

AGP Aperture 128
FSB Spread Disabled
AGP SPred Disabled

All else at defaults for the most part.

Thanks mdzcpa!

I've tried those settings but I can't get over 217... :confused:

btw: are you experiencing under-voltage for Vcore and over-voltage for Vmem?

Yep....the higher the vcore, the more the undervoltage fluctuation I get. So far it doesn't seem to effect much...but it's hard to tell. Prime runs strong even when showing an undervoltage situation.

Vmem overvolts by about .08...but it is very consistent and does not fluctuate. I like it:D

What CPU are you running EQ? Is it a 333mhz bus CPU? If so, did you happen to see the thread about my results I got by cutting the L12 bridge? Made a huge difference.

[EQuito]

Yeah, I've been reading all your threads lately. I have a 1700+ JIUHB0302 so no cutting for me... :D

I agree, I don't mind over-voltage but the Vcore is pretty bad on my board: 1.75v in bios = 1.68 reported by MBM and CPUZ... :(

btw: my apologies to NapalmV5 for crapping his thread.

Later...
