I cane boot @270fsb+ but sometimes it´s looking up @ win2k load screen.:stick:

My new board"RMA on the old died board" i cane only do about 271fsb @clockgen before looking up..:/ . I have not played so much with it yet....need more time :/. i think i will try peltier on nb on it.. see if a gain some fsb mhz.

One more thing i have a rumer thats says a new rev is on the way..more vcore, fixed buggs more stability "april or may"

Lastviking,

their is a question I would like to ask you. Do you actually use your PC for anything else other than benching? If you do could you please inform me what are your 24/7 settings are with a closed case in normal ambient conditions.

Dont get me wrong, your efforts to overclock your hardware are indeed worthy of a true overclocker, but i am very curious to how your hardware performs under 'normal' circumstances.

Guys, can you help me figure out why memtest86 freezes when I go beyond 253 fsb 11-2-2-2?
I tried more vcore, but no change..?

I have to give DFI some props. 250 wasnt that common on NF2 before. Even little old me can do it :D

I must admit CPC is off which hurts. But this ram is only a few days old. Its a Gig of BH5's. The HyperX 3000 from newegg only like $215 for a gig, i've been laughing at the ludicrous prices I see for it elsewhere sometimes. Not even remarked. There were a couple threads on bad KHX3000 but all had a gig. They should try CPC off. THese will still make for a hell of a gaming set for me. I had brushed off CPC disabled before but these really needed it... hopefully that will change. They're really getting a bit better as time goes.

:hehe: Dual Channel of course

Bios 12-18, CPU Interface = Agressive, 3.3V VDIMM, AUTO VDD :hehe:

Erm, ricjax, do you have APIC disabled???

Your BW efficiency seems quite low, APIC lets you get more like 98%/92% or such...

Could be low CPU clocks too, of course. In case you have APIC on ;)

I have apic on i think,

Running 2-2-2-11-13-15, i reckon its cpu speed. Cant get it any higher for the time being (ie. 250 x 10) as im waiting for a new SLK backplate :(

Plus i did it straight after 3d mark had ram with all those other things in the background :comp10:

Oh and please note, i got this board on saturday. Any tips would be greatly appreciated :hehe: ;)

Int 98% if you get a very good install with win2k...97% you get most of the times. 1 time i got 98% in win2k..but it´s sad that i needed to reinstall :/

Float 90%-> you need a cpu speed of 2.4ghz+ , higher % you need higher cpu speed.

mongoled: Testing 9.5x255 know in 24/7 in case. 2-2-2-2.0-13-15 cpc on and all fastest settings.

I use winxp and infinity, should I have APIC off or on?? Also I use 12-18 bios.
thanks

APIC always should stay on.. you install win2k/xp with the usual procedure... APIC on in BIOS is evident ;) , this way windows installs acpi-uniprocessor pc and that's all :thumbsup:

thanks for the reply, however when I go beyond 253 fsb 11-2-2-2, memtest86 freezes, more vcore doesn't help, do I need more than 3.3v on the ram?

Did you try different vdd settings, and tried switchin' ram slots?

From 1+3 to 2+3, and rotate the single ram sticks in the slots (no, do not to put them in the other way round ;) LOL ), I mean try stick no1 in slot 3 and then no2, and check wether one is liking it more :)

There are sometimes favourite slots for every stick :D

If you have double sided sticks as mushkin you should disable cpc, otherwise it would cause instability... incase you do not already know... ;) it's mentioned twice a page in every single dfi nf2 thread LOL

Then play with your agp voltage and with agp clocks... for me 80mhz agp has always been more stable for me than 66 since the days of nf7... watch your voltage rails under load, esp 5V line, when there are drops, there also will be hiccoughs in stability.

Hmm, I have vdd at 1.7 and it is stable at 253x10, but maybe if I increase it it will be stable when going over 253, and I have my ram (256x2 corsair 3200LLv1.1) in slots 2+3 (blue ones) and haven't tried 1+3. Is 1+3 better? I'll try what you suggested, thank you.

It was low cpu speed, this is what i got @240x10.5. A nice clean 97/91% this is under XP :smileysex

Cool :D

Problem solved ;)

@CarpeDiem

Any results yet? BTW memtest isn't everything ;)

Have you tried memtest for windows? It's much more intense cause in windows environment things are always more sensitive with other components stressing too :)

i just bring MadCat1968 to build vbt divider circuit for NF7-S
when it done hope it will benefit nf7 user with high vdimm voltage

Ya Good Luck to you too...
