just as messy
heheh
Is that a Nexus Fan controller you got there?Quote:
If so, i 've got the same one, luv the looks of it!
I wonder how did you make a pic with your camera still layin on the desk??
I'm a lil confused about this threat, i've got this NF7S rev 2.0 and a XP2100 tbred. It won't run very high FSB, so i have to close that 3rd L12 bridge to make it run higher and let the bios recognise it as a 333 FSB processor right?
What if i put in a Barton wich is 333FSB by default, will it run higher FSB or does it work the other way around so i have to blow or cut (sounds pretty destructive) this bridge?
Somebody, please clear up my confusion.
As far as i've understand, the first rev of the abit nf7 (rev 1 and 1.2) had problem with 333fsb cpu, so you had to make them believe it's a 266 cpu
The rev 2.0 has a problem with the 266 and you had to mod them to 333 cpu in order to reach higher fsb. Many people tried this mod and in most of the case it was successful. Try it and tell us your results
yeah antipop is right...
btw, the max fsb u get is kinda dependant on teh chip as well..
i had 1700+'s which wont do more than 210, and 2400+ doing 230 straight out of the box..
You'd think it would be easy for Abit to correct this problem in a later revision of their NF7!
10x :banana: have a drink on me :toast:Quote:

Damn i feel smart :D :D
I did the wiretrick and it helped me out ALOT :D The mobo didnt like fsb higher than 218 1.7V before the trick and now im maxing out at 242 :eek:
I used timings 2-2-2-7 at all speeds and it was prime and 3dmark stable. BUT I cant boot at 10x242 (9.5x242 works) or any mp higher than 10 and with a fsb higher than 230 :( Its damn frustrating since i solved the fsb problem and found another one..
My system is:
Abit NF7-S v2.0 bios 14 with orginial nb cooler
xp2100 AIUHB 0249 (Prime stable at 2.6ghz)
Twinmos wb pc3200 bh5
Magnum Waterblock and Max Perf radiator
Asus gf4 ti4600
Enermax 431W psu
Weeee.. This is my first post here :banana:
all u bastards are damn lucky
i think i got another 3-4 MHz
bloody hell &#$()&$(*)#Q&$*(

Congrats. :toast:
P.S. Welcome to the Xtreme :D
How much volts do you feed the twinmos... and if you would be so kind... what week/year code is your bh5???
Greets
Thanks :D
Im using 2.9Vmem, it overvolts about 0.15V according to hw monitor/bios. Dunno the week or year on my chips, but I will check them asap :) Bought them in norway last april from www.komplett.no. The sticker on them reads pc3200 (cl 2.5)
Hope it helps :)
I found this line: w314, hope its the right one :)
Yes. That's fine. :) ThxQuote:

Mine are 0309 bh-5. But they need some more voltage to do such speeds. Around 3,15 up to 3,2 but it's not stable though (at least at 242 upwards) - so I am trying to burn in the suckers ;)
I find it strange that they do not show any errors looping memtest test 11 or 5 for hours but in goldmemory/3DM2k1 they are not stable (goldmem shows plenty of errors :rolleyes: ), but for 3DM I can run it at least 2-4 complete runs at 242...
What's going on there???
Erm, sorry for double posting. :D
But beo, you say your 2100 can do 2,6 prime stable and you cannot boot at 11x236 :confused:
The 11th and 13th mult should work as well as 8 and 9.5 :eek:
Try it out. But it can be your vcore is too high for that fsb (sounds arbsurd but it's a prob of nf2) and thus not stable :shrug:
This is some of the combinations I've tried:
240x10
230x10
228x10
235x10.5
230x10.5
230x11
228x11
It booted at 225x11, but I want more fsb :mad:
Seems like the mobo doesnt like mp's over 10 with fsb over 230
I only need 1.75V to reach 2.3ghz, but still it wont boot at 230x10 :help:

Hmmmm... :confused:
My highest fsb I could do on my old board was first 228MHzx11 with my 1700+@2512 (1,81V) or so, but some trys later I could run 230x11. Don't know what the f*** there's going on but... every nf7-s seems to act different AND if you play a little with ya settings like cpu/fsb ratio from 6/6 to 5/5 or 4/4, you will definately find out a bit more about your rig - what it likes and what it dislikes :D
Keep us posted.
P.S. At the mo I am only at air w/my barton and so I cannot test out the 11 mult with fsb > 225MHz bc of voltage/heat the barty needs/puts out... Get my Prommie this or next week :cool:
Well finally did the L12 mod again for the upteenth time :rolleyes: , but this time i went with a different approach and did it with the wire underneath the cpu pins. Instead of doing it with a piece of wire and inserting it in the socket's pin holes, I did the surgery tieing the thin wire to the 2 pins on the cpu. Booted right up as a 2700 (13x166) but i had to bump up the vcore to 1.65v. Running like a champ now :D
Man it took me about 20 minutes just to tie the dang knot on that super thin telephone wire! :ROTF: After a few practice shots, i got bold enough and went for broke. Now i haven't cranked the FSB yet, cuz i'm using my back up stick of 512 Corsair XMS3000 platinum. No dual channel :( . Had to RMA my 2 sticks of Corsair XMS3200 C2 and i'm waiting on some twinmos. All i have is my back up 512 stick.
Now i'm gonna do this same mod to the other 2100 on my back up 8RDA+ :thumbsup:
Tanx to Ragnarok for that zoomed in clear pic and pc ice for great info and evryone here @ Xtreme Systems for gettin me fired up enough to actually do it! :toast:
another succes story here!!! i was topped at 222 fsb before.did the mod using the wire in the socket technique which was super easy btw! and BAM 248 fsb tops!!!:banana: this is great.
now the only thing holding me back is this crappy vantec stealth psu. when i up my vcore to 2.1 volts and ram to 2.9 my 12v line gets to 11.2 and 5 gets to 4.4:confused:
PC Ice, is there a guide some where with pic's on how to mod my psu, i looked at the pics u posted in this thread but i must say im a bit confused. do u think that will work on mine?
I think you should better get a new psu cause those rails are real bad ass :moon:Quote:

IMO no mod can make this psu come up to the demands of overclocking :D
sry if i sound like a noob but i have no idea when it comes to psu's
i know its a vantec stealth 520w. at everything at default my rails are at 11.6 and 4.6, but drop alot when i start bumping up voltages. i never opened it up so i have no idea if there is pots inside, i looked online at revies but none of them opened it up either.i guess i could pop it open and take a look
i have no idea what that means either(sry for being such a noob) by this do u mean the brown wire that u were talking about? i though that was for the 3.3? the 3.3 is the only 1 that is decent @ 3.34vQuote:
did you look for sense wires that follow the main rails.
but on a better note. i just flashed to bios 10 and now i can run at 245fsb with cpu interface enabled!!!!! with the 17 bios i coulndt get passed 230 with it enabled.
Erm... the 1.0 bios only allows 237fsb :confused:Quote:

How do you get this. The "low" 237MHz max was the only cause I stayed with 14 :cool:
Standard warning then b4 you open it up - *PSU'S CONTAIN EXTREMEMLY HIGH VOLTAGES AND CAN KILL YOU*.Quote:

I wouldn't recommend messing with PSU's to anybody who doesn't have at least some basic knowledge of electronics. If you just want to open it up and have a look then to be on the safe side you should unplug it from the mains and leave it overnight to discharge the caps.
errrr.Quote:

Na, bios 1.0 (for rev2) allows up o 250Mhz.
Btw, nice success stories here, love that :D
ok ill pop that fugger open and let ya know and ill look to see if there is any other wires together with the5/12 volt lines
I think i'll go back to the 10 bios, i'll also remove the nb block and try to reseat it, those shin etsu paste are hell to apply propoerlyQuote:
