does the mod help to get higher fsb and how to mod on the abit nf7?

I was looking into a SB Vdd mod for my NF7-s last week, but I came to the conclusion that the SB Vdd was connected to the NB Vdd supply, so you should only have to increase the NB Vdd to increase the SB Vdd on the NF7.
I also did the SB Vdd mod on my infinity last week, and it allowed me to boot into windows at a higher FSB (iirc the windows boot used to hang at 260, but I managed to boot at 265 with 1.67v SB Vdd). I haven't done much testing with the mod tho, so I'm not sure how much stability it will bring, but it might help if you get peripherals dropping out.

I thought the SB voltage is ever the same as the NB voltage?
Increasing NB increases SB, too.

Isn't it=

Yes, it`s the same

btw, on NF7 is no any extra fet who could supply only SB or smth... :(
no way to do it...

in last week, i mod my Vcore sect rail, now can suply it from 12V (def) or 5V, 3.3V :D but non hard tested yet... also i know how to change the Vdd sect. rail... but see no reason to do it, only fun :p:
