For those with the Soltek SL-75FRN2-RL

I just ordered this mobo, and I would like some pointers for things I need to do to obtain the top performance. I know a bios update will be needed for the PCI/AGP lock..anything else I should keep in mind while I'm setting it up??

It was between the NF7-S Rev2 and the Soltek. After about two days of debating, I went with the Soltek as it's just a sweet looking board that seems to be overclocking as well as any of the current top performers - not to mention it's about 30 dollars cheaper.

I also like the Northbridge cooling solution better than the Abit's.
I probably won't have 'er up and running until Monday, but I'll post results when I'm finished playin.

I also got another one of the WD SE 8MB cache drives from newegg while they had them for $89 shipped. That'll be going in as well... shesh, hopefully I can stop upgrading for at least six months after this.

You'll find a wealth of information on the Soltek boards there.

I just ordered the same board, I'm not sure you'll even need to update the bios. That's the newest version of the nForce2 chipset, and the bios is not old at all.

Good luck.

Sweet, thanks for the link. As long as it's got the 1.3 bios, we should be good to go.

Cool..223 replies, yeah this will do nicely.

I don't know of anyone who has gotten an FRN2 board that didn't get the 1.3 bios already on the board. By the way, there are two guys on that board that are well connected to Soltek. One works directly for Soltek USA, and the other sells Soltek boards for a living.
