just tested the beta BIOS. i got 0 increase in overclockability :(
i have one will test tomorrow,
The beta bios did crap for me. I never had voltage problems so I don't know if it fixed that, but no 1/2 multies or high fsb fixed.
There you have it.
But Abit wants you to have a happy holiday while they count your money :mad:
Just wanted to let you guys know I didn't want to take a chance ruining my bios chip by flashing to that beta. So I took a bios chip for a NF7 v 2.0 and hot swapped it in the AN7. Flashed perfectly using Flashmenu. No need for /f flags in Dos.
So if you have an old NF7 v 2.0 bios chip, it can double as an extra AN7 bios chip. Plus, if you ever get a NF7 again, you can reuse it and flash back.
Im with everyone else, the beta BIOS did nothing for me. Damn Im upset! I think I've almost lost all respect for Abit.
Im on my way to the comp store, its either a new Lian-li or a DFI. Hopefully these bastids will have atleast one of them in stock.
Good luck Twiggy..
Hey LuckyDaze.. umm i mean TechTones,
i heard you got the AN7 up to 236MHz ? :D
Yeah so?Quote:

With CPU Interface disabled and no 1/2 multi.
My performance is Better at 210 2-2-2-11 1T CPU Enabled, then at 236 CPU off and 2.5-3-2-11 2T
So, I have to be happy here for now :mad:
Damn! No Lian-li's and the only DFI they had was the Ultra AL, anyone know anything about that board?
Well,
on an up note, I'm running at 220 x 11 now same exact setting as at 210 all enabled lean and mean. BUT, I lose 100Mhz in raw CPU power to gain 10 Mhz in FSB.
I know it's not worth it even though some people would rather lose 100 so they could run at 220. Am I right?
Do a 3d mark 2001 run and see...
hmm.. this is weird.. i had all half multis on my AN7.
i ran 10.5x225.
Hey DFI owners...
Is the Infinity better than the LP?
I'd really hate to own a board as ghey sounding as "Lan Party!!!" but if they work better... f it. Infinity sounds a lot less gheybo.
So the beta BIOS is ass? Yay. Abit seems to not give a rats ass about this board I think.
Ok, eBay time.
From what I know, and that is limited...The Infinity I believe is just the LP but stripped down, ie no GB lan, and no SATA I think. From what I've read, the beta bios is the bios to use with the DFI's. Helps w/problems over 3.0v vdimm, among other things I think...But don't quote me 100% on that, I'm not 100% sure.
Does anybody know if the Infinity has soundstorm? I don't see it listed as a feature in my vendor's product description, but it seems to have too many audio in/out ports to be simple AC97. :confused:
Infinity has soundstorm :D
indeed it does. all nforce2 MCP-T SB mobos have sound storm. some just dont have the certification due to lacking a SPID/IF bracket of some sort.
i have an infinity right in front of me, it has soundstorm. same codec chip as teh AN7 aswell.
anybody tried the L12 mod on AN7? i did on my xp1700 but it shows up 200 FSB !? :confused:
A solution has come up. My brothers board has died, so i'm giving him my AN7! So what is the best board out there besides that nf7-s or the an7 that can OC the best and has nice features like SS and SATA?
DFI infinity... lol.. speaking of which i might have just killed mine on first boot. go me.
Thats skilled.
Didn't even make it to X-Mas morning huh?
this is w/o cpu enabled, but i'm still burning in new ram and cpu
when it's all settled in, i'll turn it on and see what's up.
14 hrs prime stable so far, so i'm not going to restart to get my exact bios settings for voltage
2-2-2-11 @ 3v
2.4ghz @ 2v
nb @ 1.75
oh yeah
she's watercooled
+24hrs prime stable
now i'm testing 220x11 w/ cpu enabled
