best bios for NF7 v2.0

[komer]

iam lookink for best bios for that mbo,i am confuset about that sata xxx that comes in readme,like SATA Bios Version 4247?i dont need this on my mbo so can it hurt? and what does it mean that L12 mod Build in ?
tnx

L12 mod is the mod usually done manually to a mobile or dtr chip enabling it to work in the NF7-S as well as other socket motherboards. Luckily they added a feature to the latest modded bios's that does this for you, so no physical modding for you, makes your life easier. As for the best bios? I don't have an NF7-S so I'd have to take a guess as the latest D26 Manta Ray being the best...but others who actually have experience with this bios may say differently.

I'm running D26 at 11.5x230 with 1gb CH-5 @ 2-1/2-1-11

1/2 is 1 for TRCD-r and 2 for TRCD-w.

[P_1]

how much voltage are u pushing thru the ch5?

[MaxxxRacer]

try d26 merlin and tic tac bios. i found that tic tacs mantaray bios gives very good memory bandwidth. at the moment im using merlins hell fire bios i think.

here is a link to all of the bios'

3.35v at super-tight timings.

EDIT

Oh great more bioses to play with

[don_vercetti]

how did you get the voltage so high...ddr booster, or vdimm mod?

[Torin]

STEvil, what BIOS?

@don: I'm using 3.35V with the VI/O=VDIMM mod. (VTT auto tracks)

[komer]

btw what does it mean cpc?double sided memory?which is for double side?

[STEvil]

3.3 = VDIMM mod, Merlin's D26 MantarayXT modded bios.

Disabling CPC can increase your overclock with double sided 2x512's but hurts performance.

I run CPC enabled, not worth the performance hit.

i assume a dimm voltmod isn't possible using just a modded bios, in the same way as you can on the 6800 series, correct?

Does the hardware vdimm mod involve soldering, or is there a possible pencil mod? ala x800. All my voltmodding knowledge is from GPU's, lol.

[STEvil]

soldering

damn

i didnt know there was a software fix for the L12 mod

im currently using tictac's latest bios i.e D26 Black mantary - will the l12 mod not be needed now since i have this one?

if yes -

[komer]

no,bios do it for you the L12 mod,no need to do something with hardware anymore

[Console]

Depends on who u talk to , many ppl still say u should have the wire in the socket . i dont use it just have the merlin latest bios with cpc on can still boot @ 245 fsb , gonna try the vdimm volt mod and the chipset mod see if i can get anything else out of this chip

[OsiriS^]

no,bios do it for you the L12 mod,no need to do something with hardware anymore

wooohooo!!!!!!!!

i was stuck at 218fsb without the l12 mod so im gonna do some serious testing tomorrow
