I recently upgraded from an Abit KX7-333 mobo to an Abit NF7 v2.0 mobo, and I have had a number of problems getting everything up and running. Some of the problems were my fault and some were related to my PS.
I finally have my 1700+ DLT3C JIUHB 0319 stable at 2.3 GHz (12.5*184) with 1.70 Vc. What I am confused about is the fact that this same CPU ran 2.4 GHz (12.5*192) on my KX7 mobo with the same Vcore. I have tried running at 2.4 GHz (12*200 and 13*184) with up to 1.75 Vc, but I cannot get it to be stable at either setting. Has anyone else seen this effect before? Where the same CPU needs more Vc to run the same speed on a different mobo. I am using all the same components with both mobo's (same CPU, heatsink, DDR RAM, etc).
My current setup:
NF7 v2.0 with 1700+ at 2.3 GHz with 1.70 Vc
512MB Geil PC3500 or 512MB Corsair XMS PC3000 (I have tried both) Cas 2.0 3-3-7 with 2.8 volts
SK-7 heatsink with TT SF II (with AS3)
GF4 MX440 video card (stock speed)
TT PurePower 420W PS (also tried Antec 350W PS)
20GB HD, CDROM, CDRW
I have also noticed that the NF7 reads 5-6C higher CPU temps than the KX7 at the same CPU speed.
