here u go... :)
damn that vcore kinda sux :(
The Good News is... it use D22 Alpha1 romsip table... :)
i can assume no FSB issue on the latest board :banana: :banana: :banana:
Where is this new board? I don't see it on Abit's site, where did you get it???
i dont think he has it, i think he just is gettin all that stuff from looking at the bios he got.
hey tictac, does the Vram still run off the 3.3v line? 3.2v in bios is nice
but the vcore sucks, time for a mod :)
I modbin bios's myself... Just wondered where he found it? I knew the 400GB's were coming but didn't know Abit was doing a new NF7.
nice find tictac... sounds like an AN7 with no soundstorm and poor VCore regulation to me... I've seen a picture and it looks like there's only 4 VCore mosfets too (2 big and 2 small :confused: )
MobileXP CPUs will need a VCore wire-mod or they will max at 1.8v (assuming they are read as 1.575v default like many nForce2 boards)... but Vdd and VDimm is nice. I bet VDimm come off the 3.3v rail too ;)
And abit finally used a Tictac BIOS mod on their ROMSIP!!! LOL
Hmm, you'd expect that the vdimm will run off the 5v rail if it can go upto 3.2v, but knowing previous boards from abit (AI7 for example) it'll probably still be from the 3.3v which BLOWS....Quote:

lol.. that vcore sux a big time... :( wire mod vcore will get to 1.85v x 14% = 2.109V :toast:
U can buy it here:
USD 95 only :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Tictac,
when you got the BIOS file did you notice there were quite a few "NF7-S" BIOSes?
I saw:
NF7S (rev1.0-1.2, nForce 400... i assume)
NF7S VER2.0 (nForce ultra 400 e.g. my board... I assume)
NF7S2G (nForce2 400Gb... I assume)
NF7S2 (whaa? :confused: )
ya i just notice that.... i download the NF7S2(before NF7S2G) - that bios is also for 400GB board... i assumeQuote:

NF7S2G (nForce2 400Gb... I assume)
NF7S2 (whaa? :confused: )
so probably Abit have two nForce2 400GB board.... there is nVidia raid on both bios
- NF7S2
- NF7S2G
same vcore,same vdimm,same LDT voltage..... :banana:
here is the option available on the latest board... u can look at this text.. i extract it from the bios.... :D
lol, thats a whole load of gibebrish to me :(
lol... here is the board... look at the mosfet... pretty small for my eyes... http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/mad.gif http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/vmad.gif
ABIT NF7-S2G
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=205
I'm assuming the "G" means gigabit ethernet.
is that vcore mosfet capable enough to stablize the voltage... :mad:
yes the only difference between the new NF7S2 and the NF7S2G is Gigabit ethernet.
That VCore regulation circuit will only be designed to cope with about 1.9v (1.65v + 14%)... on the other hand, the Gigabyte 7N400Pro2 uses "stock + 10%" and i know of guys running 2v 2800MHz 24/7 stable with water... we'll hav to wait and see I guess
well this sucks
because they limited the vcore lower, they can put in crappier mosfets, which means when we mod it it will be eveon more unstable. and we all know how it fluctuates on the nf7-s
why dont we all just add mosfets :p:
the 8rda6 will be better... <3 EPoX
8 channel audio too for all the audiofiles here (not many)
Hmm one good thing it ha holes for sb..nice to try with tec on sb&nb. Small mosfetts are not all time bad.
Exactly :thumbsup:Quote:

If they're of higher quality... 2.1V ain't bad either if these boards are able to do similar fsbs like the DFIs, then 2.1V without mod is still better than the DFI ;)
Here is the full board :banana:Quote:

All heatsink up ... Northbridge & southbridge

nice :slobber:... one of the best looking Abit boards I've seen...
tictac,
do you know which BPL file the first BIOS uses? :D
they dont use BPL module anymore in this latest bios.. they use something called NVRAM version 4.X...Quote:

uncompitable with previous BPL....
already tested the NVRAM module on AN7... but not working...
:(Quote:

already tested the NVRAM module on AN7... but not working...
so entire .BIN structure has changed?
or they still have some files in common? ROMSIP etc...
guess this is bad news for AN7,Infinity,LanParty,NF7 users... but maybe this new structure will give NF7S2 the edge :)
most of the structure is quite same... but since BPL is no longger exist... most of PCI register they codded it in E000 , F000 and 1000 segment
The romsip table using 6 Table format..... 133MHz, 166MHz & 200MHz (CI:Optimal/aggrasive)
The romsip is quite difference than any previous bios... look something similar to DFI romsip with little tweak ...
BPL/NVRAM is probably incompatible with Ultra400 because it incorperates SATA and Firewall code and no Soundstorm related code.Quote:

But I still have hopes for a ROMSIP mod on the NF7... maybe D10 would gain even more :D
I'll give trats a link to this thread
They use Japan Capacitor too... Rubycon/Chemi-conQuote:

The romsip tabel of NF7S2 already tested on AN7... but not working... :(
NF7 has Rubycon caps too... I wonder if the value of these new ones is higher?
another thing i like bout this new layout is the BIOS chips and clear-cmos jumper... down the bottom so my clumsy hands dont hav to squeeze between SATA cables when clearing CMOS.
tictac,
so you'r saying that no BIOS features can be incorperated into the older Ultra400 BIOSes YET? :(
[EDIT] VDimm MOSFETs look nice and big... maybe they ARE from 5v rail
Not sure.... about that ....Quote:

Anyone notice that the fist "topdown screenshot" mobo isnt the same as the real-life mobo ?? :)
-me-
Why??? I cannot see the difference... :confused:Quote:

Look at the area around the second row of capacitators.... in one pics , they are jumbled together, on the other, they have spaces + components between them...
(the area behind the cpu socket, from where the pic is taken)
Indicates its not the same PCB even, as components have moved, not just added/removed ;-)
-me-
Yeah. I see. :)Quote:

Either they rotated the smaller mosfets or there are additional ones :thumbsup:
the first is an NF7S2G and second is a NF7S2... maybe there's more than just Gigabit LAN between the two models.
good spotting DJ_Datte :)
yeah, I dont know why they would go through the trouble of making two different PCBs if there wasnt something really different about the boards..
maybe the non-G board is a real cheap-o model, while the other one is atleast descent by ABIT standards.
Guys
If you noticed:
only 14% overvolt...
small mosfets...
no active NB cooling...
no Soundstorm...
This clear set me a direction that this is a budget board where AN7 will play the top line!!!
the percent increment is a crap implementation no doubt... but we may find the MOSFETs used are superior quality items.Quote:
only 14% overvolt...
small mosfets...
passive cooling cant fail, makes no noise, and is more than enough in most situations... i think it's a good move, and probably superior to the crap HSF arrangemet on NF7/AN7 boards.Quote:
no active NB cooling...
this is a Ultra 400Gb board... Abit had no choice in the matter, Soundstorm was removed by nVidia. But it is replaced by native SATA and a hardware firewall.Quote:
no Soundstorm...
WARNING... better dont buy this board.. coz ...
NO MULTIPLIER OPTION IN THE BIOS http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/vmad.gif http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/mad.gif http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/vmad.gif
hmmm..., with all your abilities as a bios modder and after disecting the bios you didn't realize multis were missing? :rolleyes:
I think you should disclose that you read it at Abit Forums... :stick:
hm are you sure there are no multiplier options? or are they just locked?
or did abit not include multiplier selection hardwarewise? i know gigabyte has done that several times.

High end ABIT nForce2 board only ---------------> AN7http://forum.lowyat.net/html/emoticons/vmad.gif
They seem to not want to have enthusiast customers anymore... :mad:
:confused: :confused: This new NF7 seems to be a mobo for "normal" users :mad: :mad: , ABIT cmon give us some real BIOS !!
wow if abit wont release a better board they will use a LOT of customers. just think about how mayne people bought an nf7-s when they were released! almost every ocer had one, so all the top scores were on an nf7-s and everybody wanted that board!
marketing morons are taking over the entire pc industry! first nvidia ,then amd, intel and now even abit!
no mutlipler selection???
was loving the NB HS till i scrolled down to the last few posts:mad:
on their home site they claim to have multiplier adjustment via Softmenu, so maybe it's jus an issue with the first BIOS...
Can't there be any new board issue-free when published???
No CAS 2.0.... what's up with that?
If the boards features stay like that (bios-wise) then it's rubbish. Not worth a try. :(
CAS 2.0 is there (look - Tictac posted bios in .txt file)Quote:
