Nf7 v2 agp question

Big_Baller · Jun 16, 2003

Ok I am toying with the idea of getting the nf7 v2 board because of the awsome overclocking capabilitys especialy since I have had it with asus.

I am also planning on getting a nice video card(either a nVidia 5900 or the ati 9800) in the kind of near future (when the get near 300). Will the lack of agp 8x do anything? I have heard how pointless it is but just wanted to make sure? Or could you just overclock you agp bus or sumthing? thx for reading

the NF7 has AGP8X

It does. Using it right now

eheehehehe I think I need to check my eyes, I SWEAR that review said it has agp 4x. must have been a typo. I see it is listed in specs on the abit site. (Puts paper bag over face and runs off)

It does, the Asus semi-equivalent to the NF7-S is called the A7N8X Deluxe ! Guess where they took the 8X.

no prob I have said more then a few stupid things in my life...it's bound to happen to even the greatest of thingkers

OHHH the A7N8X! I know ALL about it.

Thats the reason I am looking for a new mobo. It just stopped working one day. Refused to post. Tryed everything. Opend it up attempted to take out the cpu but the fudging lever broke and it wouldn't come out.

Nothing I did wrong. Ahh that feels good. I already orderd the Nf7-S v2 last night.

Ok, thx a lot guys.

all nforce 2 chipsets have AGP x8

Big_Baller868, you should do a RMA and sell the new board !

Big_Baller · Jun 18, 2003

what do you mean? Why would I want to RMA my Nf7-s v2 that is comming? or do you mean the A7N8X? Afraid I can. I don't think you can return OEM boards from E-bay. Anyone want somehing from the a7n8x board? transitor? bios? anything?

timmyqwest · Jun 18, 2003

So you bought an "oem' board from ebay, it doesnt work...and you blame ausus?

It sounds to me like you got the ebay shaft dude.

Although i wouldnt buy one myself the a7n8x is a great board and ausus is an even better company

I was talking about the A7N8X, but I don't think Asus accept board from customers... But Abit does if you ever have any problem...

Big_Baller · Jun 18, 2003

No no no, the board worked fine for a few months and then it decided to not boot. Many other people seem to have this problem happen. One guy just has to hit the power button 20x before it will post. And when I open the comp up, the cpu lever decided it didn't need to work anymore. No fault of mine. It seems like the A7N8X works flawlessly or won't work at all for some people. It's all good now though. Got te Nf7 comming.

Might be some of those bogus capacitors still out there died on you. Abit got burned real bad on that deal. Rest assured your NF7-S's caps will be golden.

Are any of your caps leaking or swelling?

Big_Baller · Jun 19, 2003

No, that is somthing I looked for. My friend has had it happen before.

Asus does except RMA from customers. I RMAed A7N8X, waiting on return.

The Blazer · Jun 21, 2003

Must be new, I remember reading on Anandtech that you had to do the RMA with the place where you bought it.
