For me there is AUTO, 1:1 and SPD that works for dividers. But be careful with mixed ram sticks... in case you got a 2700 among your sticks it could cause your bioschip to corrupt (as can setting the dividers to anything different from 1:1).
I say its all bios issues.. except 1T/2T (possibly).
i did a vcore and vdd mod to this board tonight....now i hit 260fsb stable with 3.3vdimm (bios, really 3.4) with 2x256mb bh-6 double sided ram. i cant wait to do a vdimm! and get better cooling so i can make this proc come alive!
hey whats the max i should run my vdd? i saw somewhere in this thread someone was running 2.5 in a nf-7 but how high is the max safe 24/7 and just for testing?
I wouldnt run higher than 1.8 for 24/7 probably.
Test the back of your motherboard behind the northbridge to see how hot it gets.. my infinity at stock volts was around 55c.
Hehe. Some of my earlier NF7 were running 2.8V fine :DQuote:

my nb is just lapped with a 60mm fan on the stock NBsink, its not really that hot at all with 1.9, but the SB does get a bit toasty... need to find a better sink for it, i think ill pull the nb sink off of my NFS-S2 that my stupid ass bought instead of the nf7-s lol....
higher then 1.9 i dunno because im still looking for pots locally greater then 10k.
well i have a swiftech NB cooler supposed to be about the best HSF on the market and this thing barely seems warm at 2.5! i think 2.2 will be a good 24/7 option though dont you?
Yep :DQuote:

What's getting hot on the back of the NB (an of the GPU too) are several SMCs mounted there. These are sometimes scorching hot. That's normal.Quote:

P.S. The really dangerous thing with too high vdd were the nf7's vdd mosfets that tend to blow... :p:
mines barely even warm on the back though even at 2.5. the smcs are barely warm. would the mosfets blow on these boards?Quote:

yeh i have big heatsink on the vdd mosfet (the one you measure from) and its is real cold now so i think im fine...Quote:

No, its not the SMC's.. its the same layout as the back of the nF7-s, Shuttle An35n and the two a7n8x's behind the northbridge.
I know the layout is the same :p: There are SMCs positioned in a square getting hot. My NB never got hot. Only warm, even at high vdd and high FSB.Quote:

ok, to be more blunt then: the area behind the northbridge is hot. The surface mount capacitors which enclose that area in a square are not hot!
Mine ain't hot, only warm. And that was the case with several boards I had. :confused:Quote:

do the ocp mod and the vcore mod.
mine does it to the FYI, 2.0v in bios= 1.9-1.95 CPU-Z, it jumps all over the place, i need the droop/ocp/vcore bad, im still working on gathering parts...
Yeah, the ocp and droop mods can really help you to get a more stable vcore output thus improving overall system stability.
on my mm i dont see really any fluctuation, maybe less than .05v so should i still do a droop?Quote:
