I got me a NF7 Rev 1.2 Today

**Major** · 03-03-2003, 10:08 AM

The early Asus bios where that way too, after 200mhz the increments took some leaps, but with bios 1002 they now have 1mhz increments up to 250mhz. It might be a limitation of the board but I hope it will be a bios thing.

(Im an optimist)

**dykz34** · 03-03-2003, 04:38 PM

Hopefully Abit will have 1mhz FSB increases in the next BIOS update... 5mhz is a HUGE jump when you are already so high...

**Major** · 03-03-2003, 06:17 PM

Well my NF7-S was only up for a couple of days b4 I killed it but definetly was MY fault, during that short period of use I'd say its a great board ! ordered another (didn't RMA) no problems with it at all.

hehe...that's what I get for posting before my first cup of java

EDIT- BTW...this really is a great board

Still running 24/7 at 220! (no mods)

**twiggy** · 03-03-2003, 07:23 PM

Finally got the vdimm done. The mod is cake. Thanks for the info OPP.

Hopefully I'll be able to get cas2 and tight timmings at 237 now.

Keep us posted twiggy

I'm watching with interest. What's your NB cooling again?

**twiggy** · 03-03-2003, 07:39 PM

I just took off the stock one and put on a AOC copper one that looks exactly like the stock one. Nothing special.

btw my NB was a A3.

WRONG

Check out the new BETA BIOS 16 which provides 1 mhz increments to 233, then and then 236/37/40/42/44/45/50.

Go Abit!

**dykz34** · 03-04-2003, 09:23 AM

Sweet!!!

**RoydRage** · 03-05-2003, 05:43 AM

OPP,

Got my Rev 1.2... But this is my first NF-7... So I was hoping you could bring me up to speed...

What is the value you would use for a single resistor vDDR mod?

Do you know Of a thread that details the vdd mod... I can't find one... And what value would give me about 1.9v?

My NB Stepping is G31861.1A

025A3... I hope this is the latest...

Thanks,

Royd

A3 KOREA or TAIWAN ?

**WildKard** · 03-05-2003, 02:53 PM

About the FSB jumps, the 8rda+ is the only board that has TRUE 1mhz increments to 250mhz even the Asus is like 202/04-10/12-33/36/38/41/45/48/50 or something close to that

OPP

Can anyone give me a resistor value to replace the VR... That gets 3.2v Vmem? I only have resistors to work with, and I favor them

Thanks,

RoydRage

**twiggy** · 03-05-2003, 07:15 PM

I think a 100ohm resistor would do it.

Twig,

I know 100Ohm would be a safe bet, but it probably would yield little, or no increase. It's got to be somewhere near the middle of the range..... But exactly where?

Thanks,

Royd

**twiggy** · 03-05-2003, 08:53 PM

A friend of mine is running a 10ohm and 100ohm resistor and hes on a rev1.0 and it gives him over 3.1v.

I have a 1k pot set to ~120ohms and it gives me 3.05v at 2.9v in BIOS.

**RoydRage** · 03-06-2003, 06:48 AM

Twiggy,

Ok, Thanks. That gives me an idea about what to go with. To start I'm going to go with a 60 Ohm...

Regards,

Royd

**RoydRage** · 03-06-2003, 08:09 AM

Bingo...

A 56 Ohm Resistor got me exactly 3.20 Vmem!

Now If anyone has any ideas as to why my vCore voltage it stuck on 1.6v Please let me know!

I've disconnected all the mods.... And it's still won't budge...

this is my 7th nforce2 board.....

JUST KILL ME, PLEASE!

Royd

**WxChaser** · 03-06-2003, 08:37 AM

JUST KILL ME, PLEASE!

Tony I know the feeling...on my 2nd board now here (lots of catching up to get even with you though, not sure I could afford it, lol).

So you can adjust Vmem and your other voltages in bios, but not Vcore? That sounds very strange. My rev 1.2 would let me adjust the Vcore easily (till the bios chip died on save, the bastage).

**RoydRage** · 03-06-2003, 08:47 AM

Wx,

Yes. Everything else is normal. I have full range adjustments for the Chipset & the Memory....

But the Vcore is Locked!

Royd

**twiggy** · 03-06-2003, 11:26 AM

Glad you got it RoydRage.

About the vcore, its shadowed in BIOS?

**NapalmV5** · 03-07-2003, 08:28 PM

RoydRage,

"A 56 Ohm Resistor got me exactly 3.20 Vmem!"

That's 5.6k ohm ?

About the vmem on the NF7-S, what exactly has to be done ?

**wolfgang** · 03-07-2003, 08:45 PM

56 ohms sounds like alot dont it ive got a 10 ohm from the mosfit to the chip and a 100 ohm from ground to the chip no k's for this mod
