Last night i moved back to d10 BIOS and droped down VDD to 1.75 Volt....
Now? 250 FSB 100% STable and still dont believe it.......
I want more but 1.0 has 250 as top limit FSB.....
Just Take a look.....

Now? 250 FSB 100% STable and still dont believe it.......

Just Take a look.....
But i like for 24/7 246 FSB whish give me MOOORRREEEE Performance.....
nice! i wish my mobo would do over 182fsb LOL.. thats why its getting RMA'd tomorow!
Good luck.......
And just remember to try BIOS d10 (for Ver. 2 NF7) and see whow it goes......
You will find alot of Performance hidden right there....... :D
Now my main target is to have 250 X 10 = 2500 MHZ stable 24/7....
Since now all are ok but 3D is not working well...
Probably need a litle more VDD juice like 1.80 to 1.85 to have 3D World back to action........
We will see........... :banana:
Thats verry nice. What timings are that in and are all things stable(like memtest86 and prime) at 250 except for 3dmark?
get a chip that can do more than 2.5Ghz , then you will have the 250*10 ;)
btw nice NF7-S, can you tell us what mods you did ? I mean Vdd mod, Vdimm mod, rads on mosfets, zalman32NB on southbridge , special cooling on northbridge ?
For 250 FSB i set timmings at 11-3-2-2.5
For 246 FSB i set timmings at 11-3-2-2 and was stable.....
I also tested 11-3-3-2.5 to have stable 3D at 250 FSB but no luck until now....
I will raise VDD up to 1.8-1.85 and redo all Becnhes from begining...
The BIOS 1.0 goes from 245 FSB (246 measured with CPUID) directly to 250 without midle steps like 246 - 247- 248 - 249 and this was another problem.....
But since now all are running very stable and FFFFFAAAAAAST....... :banana: :D
so you aren't at 250 100% stable.. if you aren't 3d stable you aren't stable at all
try 7-3-2-2.5 settigns, all the memory i have tested lower the max clock if i set 11
your using the 1.0 bios on the rev2.0 board???
Before the downgrade from d18 to d10(for Ver. 2 NF7) BIOS i had VDD up to 1.95 for a stable 242 FSB...
Now with 1.0 BIOS i have VDD mode back to default voltge (1.75 Volt) measured with my digital multimeter.....
I dont use any other MODS (VDDR - VCORE e.tc.)
I have stock cooling on it but AS3 under Heatslink and Passive Cooling with a Simple heatsink on the other Bridge.....
Mosfets are not using extra Heatsinks.....
I guess i am VERY VERY LUCKY :D :banana:
Holy poop!
Mine doesn't even like anything over 210Mhz, good going man!
Lets clear this .....Quote:

I am 100% stable at 250 FSB but with a multi set to 9.5 which give me 2375 MHZ which is not what i want........
When i set 250 FSB X 10 = 2500 MHZ then all running fine even Prime 95 - CPU TOAST - Fast PI - SUPER PI but 3D applications after a few minutes just closing .....
And seems to me needed a litle more VDD or a much effective cooling to the Chipset........
;) :toast:
PS...... If any of you have same mobo Ver. 2.0 just try to Flash d10 (for Ver. 2 NF7) BIOS and findout what will happend.....
If this confirm my success then we must ask from ABIT to give us a new copy of this BIOS with SATA correction on it and leave all the other code back to original d10 (for Ver. 2 NF7) BIOS....... ;) :D
Is a good IDEA.....
it killed the board of a friend ;)Quote:
If any of you have same mobo Ver. 2.0 just try to Flash 1.0 BIOS and findout what will happend.....
well he needed a new bios chip that was all... i really wonder why your board is still working... :stick: are you sure its the 1.0 bios? where did you get it? i heard of 2 other people already who tried to flash their 2.0 boards to 1.0 and they board wouldnt post after that...
please post a link, i wanna try that bios when i get my nf7-s 2.0 back.
I always doing flashes with ABITs Flashmenu utility and is working perfectly.....
There is a note on ABIT homepage that is not able to reverse to any BIOS prior to d14 if i remember well but this is not true when you are using flashmenu utility.....
The most importand of all if before you make a flash ALWAYS you must be sure you are with 100 FSB and remove from memorie any aplication is running......
Since now i've made up to 20 - 25 FLASHES with this board and many many more times BIOS reconfiguration and until now thanks GOD all running well........ :banana: :D
some people use bios 10 with rev 2.0, because bios 10 give much more overclock VS bios 14-16-17-18, more bus & more performance, and there is no problem to go back to bios 10, use winflash
he did use winflash, he was on tha 16 bios before because i told him it works best for me. he used winflash to get the 10 bios flashed, all went fine, need reboot window popped up , but it never booted again.
i heard of some special commands to get back to 10. do you mean that? or did you just use a floppy with the 10 bios to boot and hit alt-F2?
try the L12 mod + bios 1.0 => nice combo for 230-240MhzQuote:

I have my 1800+ all ready to go, just waiting till I have the time to pop it in, prolly on saturday, unless I snap and stick it in tonight.:D
Here's hoping I have enough AS3 left!
Please dont make me think i have the GOLDEN SAMPLE on my hands because i dont believe it.....
Abits flashmenu have all the options you need for a safe FLASH.....
I remember a day which flashing procedure just freeze in the middle of flashing and after a Ctrl - Alt - Delete combination i end task the flashmenu and restart again flashing.....
Even with this bad situation still working JUST FINE..... But NEVER i mean NEVER forgot to make boot at 100 FSB before do a FLASH Procedure....
So i think if you want to try you MUST be FLASH back to d10 (for Ver. 2 NF7) BIOS....
The risk of a Bad Flash always will be like ghost around us.......;)
With 246 FSB and 10 multi all 3dMark 2001 & 2003 passed at default card speed...... 400/850 GPU MEM for my fx5900 by Leadtek..... But is not the higest scores i got because i dint try yet to push more....
I have a lot of tests to do before find the best FSB/MHZ combination for a 24/7 use.......
Here i post just the begining of a happy story and just wait to see the happy ending of it..... ;) :D
Yes. Wanna see. My ram single sticks can easily do 243 2,0-11-2-2 at 3,17V but in dual channel... that's another story :rolleyes:Quote:

At least with multi above 9,5... :(
Interesting thread. I never did inderstand why we had to sacrifice this performance when they updated the bios from 1.0. Please send this thread to Abit.
That is very good. Get some good memory and you will ok to go.:D
how about some benchmarks finally ;)
Super PI, Hexus Pifast, Sisoft sandra mem test, PCmark.
those I'd be interested in seeing :)
