Hey guys me and my bro switched out our NF7's and with his Im able to do 2.04 vcore before I start havin any probs, my OVP kicked in ~1.98v but his is holding pretty tought with 2.04v.
This OVP is killing me.:( but atleast I have 2v now :)

Well XTW isn't going to swap the chip, I told them forget about it. I am going to pick up the mobo and slap a pelt on the NB and play with it as is :D

By the way, the EPOS took a dump yesterday, I think the bios chip went bad or the mobo got some condensation from the NB pelt. Not sure, but I'm going to the NF7 for a while :D

Just a quick question. If they do ddecide to increase Vcore etc on rev2 would that mean new hardware or is it simply a case of a bios flash to simply enable the higher volts??
The reason I ask is becuase otherwise their gonna millions of BIOSs about the place (one for NF7-S, NF7, NF7-S V2 and NF7 V2!!!) So what do you think??
Great job guys :)
Hmmm... just got my sample NF7-S off Abit today... hooked it up and havin a bit of a downer with it...
12v rail is under... all others spot on... FSB won't go higher than 170 full stop at any multiplier. Not done any mods to the board yet as need to review it in an "out of the box" state.
Temps are a lot higher than any other board, but everything is mounted perfectly etc... triple checked everything...
Using 2x 256Mb stick XMS3200c2 platinum (matched pair).
Given up for tonight and thrown it back in the box for another day when I'm feeling more tolerant...
marci. i have the SAME EXACT prob w/ mine i have a 1700+ and it wont go higher than 166mhz on any mult 8.0-10.5 however, ican get higher on 11.0x and up... however, that wont make adifference cause i cant get high fsbs w/ 11.0 cause the cpu cant do more than 1900mhz!
I would think if the next revision has more voltage then it was a hardware mod to get the voltage. They probably would have made up a bios with more voltage by now if it was a simple bios update.Quote:

Well the orders in; 1 ABit NF7-S, 2 x 256MB Corsair XMS3200 and XP2400+ :)
Can't wait to get it up and running :)
Not before I see what KG7 can do with the corsair as I have okish PC2100 at the moment @ 168FSB CAS2 but the most relaxed ram timings you have ever seen!!!! I shall be following MrIccee uide I think :)
Also what would be the best drivers for benching and every day use?? Cheers guys have a :toast: on me :banana: :thumbsup:
Any news on the availability of the NF7-S rev2?
This is torturing me, I know I want an nForce2 motherboard, but I want to wait to see what the rev2 can do, otherwise I may have to go for the 8RDA+ or the A7N8X DLX.
I hate waiting :rolleyes:
im waiting too man. probly end of the month. ill be getting the ABIT NF7-S rev2.0 and a 2100+tb-B when they get to newegg :)Quote:

I'm hopin when the next rev is released Abit'll send me one to compare against the current rev... one thing we don't see a lot of is reviews of the same product but comparing the various revisions, as we all know the revision makes a BIG difference... so that's my NEXT plan...!
I am really enjoying this thread even though I don't even own a soldering iron. I hope you all get the voltages you want with as little pain as possible.
I have a question? I have a 2400 and I can't get past 11X210 FSB. Is this because of my ram or is the nb getting too hot or not enough voltage for the ram or .............................................. What do yall think?
I like the board in its current form given I use an slk800 and a tornado. I'm not sure how much more voltage would help me on the cpu.
Look forward to that revision review also. I may have to sell the Asus and get another NF7-S2.
They say great minds think alike ;) I too am planning on getting just that from newegg... $98 now for the Tbred B 2100+, man I'm going to explode before I get an nForce2 mobo along with the cpu!Quote:

That just came in my email. I got my abit serillel from them. They are linked to abits site or should I say abits reseller. Package came on time and was in good condition and price was reasonable.
I'm always looking for another decent reseller. How has your experience been purchasing from them?
Went to abits site for the serillel and when I hit the purchase button or whatever, I was redirected to this site. They appear to be abits reseller but IDK.
Like I said, the package came in a reasonable amount of time and was in good condition. I was a little put off by the shipping of $6 for such a small package but I've been charged similar amounts from other vendors. I couldn't find the serillel adapter anywhere else and wanted it to match the other. Probably doesn't matter all that much but mine does work and I have both my hdd's on the sata channel.
The only complaint I have about the adapter is that it doesn't hold on very well. You know how a cable fits on really tight, this thing is unbelievably lose. If you move your case around a lot you'll have to check them or maybe do some re-engineering (ie electrical tape).
On that processor, it's $92 and $7 for shipping. A look at newegg has 2100's for $98 and free shipping but I can't tell if its a tbred B or not. Anybody know if it is or not?
The $98 newegg 2100+ is a Tbred B
Anyone know where I can get another Seriell adapter in the uK??
Iv'e got the Nf7 doing 3D at 237 FSB with dual mem, the only down fall is that the mem timings are at Cas 2.5.

A guy from Portugal posted over on amdmb forums what Abit told him the new voltages on the next revision board would be:
Realize I have no way of verifying this to be true at this time, but it would be nice!Quote:

Hey have you guys given up on the abit or what? What, do you have a life other then overclocking?
I'm dyin here!
I hear ya dude. Im dieing here, in need of the VDD mod. :(Quote:

well i just ordered the nf7-s. so i hope i dont hit a brick like all of you. if i can do 185mhz id be happy. but with my kx7-333 i can go to 195 be4 my scsi card and others trying giving me problems..
It will do 185 easy even with the stock voltages. I haven't modded mine and run 196 usually, 5-2-2-2.
Hey Mr. Icee? Whats going on. Went to abits site and got the impression they wouldn't be around until the 9th. Heard anything on the rev 2's lately? Just given this a bump!
