Actually i was explaining to a friend (he's not a noob in comp) why i wanted the 4 holes if i wanted to buy a mobo and he asked me without kidding why i don't drill them myself!!
so does anybody know if i would have to buy a P4 READY PSU for this motherboard? cuz if i do, i will go asus, which i dont wanna do really :(
I don't think the connector is needed to run the mobo. Some people have been able to run p4 mobo without the additional connector
You need to clarify your Vmem mod on the Abit m/b because it doesn't correlate to Sysfailur Vdimm mod description for the Asus A7N8X. He just uses pin/leg #6 with a 15K pot to ground:Quote:

vmem :
It's the same mod than the A7N8X
pin3 and 6
The chip is between the agp and first pci

Yes, You DO can run it without the P4 connector, BUT wwy do you think they made this P4 connector?!? :rolleyes:Quote:

I know but if you don't want to upgrade you psu, you can still use the boardQuote:

Yep, you DO can use it allright, but only if your "old" PSU has strong/powerfull "+12V" line - otherwise you'll end with unstabilities and something like "+11.34V" readings on the "+12V"....Quote:

But P4s are not a new CPUs anymore - all "produced-in-1-year-time" PSUs has that +12V Plug....
yeah i could just adjust the pots on this if it goes a bit weak
So what is the report card on this board??!! I like the Asus N2 and this might be promising but I need to see what it can do...anyone???
heres one guy:
http://www.amdforums.com/showthread....63#post1354563
A really lack luster post for this Abit N2 board. I was looking for some o/cing results. He really wasted our time posting that BS default stuff. We all want to see the o/cing results. oh boy!;)
hmm i wanna swap my abit kd7 into a nf2 board...
questions: 8rda goes up to 2.2vcore, right ? whats about the 12 and 5v rails with this board ? does it support all multipliers (up to 20x ...) ?
whats about the volt mod on nf7 ? does it work ??
all i need is a multiplier ~ up to 15, a vcore up to 2.2v, a vmem up to 3.2v, a good bios and the nforce2 chipset ;)
what do you recommend ??
THX :)
xtreme
the nf7-s multiplier goes up to 22
i saw a thread here or either at amdmb about vmod on it, ill look for it for you
i guess it was somewhere other than here and amdmb, sorry :(
Are you talking about a Vmod for the NF7? If so, it is right above. I quoted it from the previous page to have cpulloverclock re-verify the Vmem mode since it probably only requires one variable pot going from leg/pin #6 to case or m/b ground. He shows 2.
Even the Vcore only needs one from leg/pin #7 to a variable pot to ground. Using a SMD grabber makes it real simple.
I have not seen anyone posting any OCed results for this board yet, and I wanted to post my friend's results. Hope no one minds :)
This is my friend Aceman's Sandra memory scores with one stick of 512MB XMS3500 @ 2.7v.

UUUH, very nice!:cool:
Praetereo thats very sweet. I expect my NF7-S by tomorrow. I have some TwinMos to throw at it also. I'm alittle surprised at that bench in all honestly. See reviewers couldn't get past 188fsb.
Will post mine ASAP.
Oh wow, that's very nice. Unfortunately, there's some good ones, and bad ones. I got one of the bad ones. Won't go over 188. :(
My friend said he left it looping benchmarks all night long at 200, and it was rock stable. I am hoping we will be able to test out two 512 MB sticks of XMS3500 this weekend and see what kind of performance it offers in that mode. Hopefully get some 3DMarking done, too :)
I definitely want one of these boards, but I am wondering if I should wait and see what the next revision looks like... Does anyone know when that is supposed to arrive?
Is this an air cool system? What processor speed?Quote:

Yes, aircooled with SLK-800 (I believe) with 92mm Vantec Tornado strapped on. He was saying his processor OC was up to 2.1GHz, but I don't know if that is stable or not.

I picked up the adaptors for your 403 yesterday. But I didn't get the P4/Alpha out on monday cause the PO was backed up and I had to catch a flight.
Couldn''t wait could ya?
