Anyone figure out Chipset mod for NF7?

[Emericana]

Cant get over 206mhz w/ 2.7v offered in bios... would like to do 2.9v so i can get 220mhz etc etc.....

anyone figure out how to do this mod yet?

[heilmery]

I wish man. I did put a new hsf on my northbridge and got it up to 217mhz from 212mhz. Same 2.7vdd. Maybe thats an option for you in the mean time.

Btw it is a globalwin cakii38hs and amd retail fan. Cooled it off very nicely

[Emericana]

how did you put it on? did you drill holes in it? if you epoxied it, how did you clamp the heatsink to the chip? isnt their a danger of ripping the chipset out with epoxy....?

[heilmery]

no i just have my case laying on its side and set the hs on the chipset. Woked out great. Can bench at 220 but still choppy. Getting better scores at 217.

Emericana, yes.. like what heilmery said, extra cooling the NB is needed.
I have a SK-6 w/ sunon 60mm 25cfm on my NB.

You also need good RAM to handle the high FSBs. Part of it that is holding you back from higher FSBs is your ram. Either you need more Vmem voltage(i know u're already maxed out) or you'll have to buy new ram. NB cooling is also required. That will keep yours extremely stable in 3d apps.

Mine tops out at 225mhz FSB and games playable at 217mhz FSB but it still needs more juice to get 217mhz FSB very stable. 213 is diamond stable.

oh sorry my sig wasnt updated.... i have Twinmos 3200 dual channel now which is real good stuff and uses 5ns chips.... how did you attach the SK6 on cause i have a spare one. ddid you use epoxy? if yes how did you clamp it to get it to stay? isnt there a danger to those who run their case straight up of rippin the chipset off?

[IamAnoobieCheez]

Shouldn't be a problem running SK-6 with the case straight up. The chipsets don't fall off easily.

Here's the discussion about NB cooling. I've got lazy to post again, hehe..
