NF7 - dont want to go over 225

I have just tried D26 BlackMantaraysXT and Merlin's SpeedFire, but it didn't help me.

Can anyone tell me, what exactly does mod called VDD Booster on this image? (attachment)

I can get about 400-450 PLN for my CPU and mobo, so I would need about 500 PLN more..... and I have now about 60 PLN ;], and Im gonna upgrade my WC setup...

Forget yer watercooling upgrade :stick:. You won't need it with the 939 setup since they get great oc's with stock cooler - much better performance than what you're getting watercooling for.
And I wouldn't bother with 754, it's not that big of a jump in performance to make it worth it. But 939, that's a different story. Definately worth it. 939 will pawn your setup. And if $$ is an issue, get refurb board and chip.

$$$ is a very big issue! :D 939 is even more expensive than 754.

What do You mean by "refurb" ?

Refurbished, as in someone had malfunctioning hardware, RMA'd it, it was "repaired" and then resold as "refurbished."

This kind of hardware isn't popular in Poland. I don't even know where can I buy it :(.

I have tried 3D Fire D23, but it failed after 30 seconds prime @ 233 (like other bioses). I have to vdd mod it for a try, but I won't have time until next weekend :(.

Yes, more expensive, but worth it......assuming you can get a decent price like what Newegg.com offers (refurb board for US$110 and new 939 3000+ for US$149) That's only $260 (less what you sell your current board for)......for a board that will blow the socks off your NF7.

How much was your watercooling going to cost you by the way?

That is a good idea, but I'm living in Poland and here the reality is diffrent than in the USA :D.

For my WC I gave about 450 PLN, so its about 130$ probally.

Doing the pencil mod will also take me a while, because to do I will have to take my WC out of my case and I need some time to do it :D.
