Question for those of you with the NF-7 rev 2

Codeman05 · Sep 21, 2003

Hey guys, I just ordered a NF-7 rev 2 to replace my Epox 8rda3+ that crapped out.

I was just wondering what was the highest FSB you've been able to reach without doing any Volt mods.

My 8rda3+ would give me about 213-218fsb stable and was just wondering if I might be able to go higher with this board.

Thanks for the info

I would say 215 should be a sure shot for that board.

I'll be interested in the response. I run 216 stable, can boot higher but that really doesn't count.

I was running 231 with no mods before I did a host of upgrades to my machine. Slowly tweaking my way back up now.

215 without L12, with it 230. but i need better RAM for more

218, without any CPU or motherboard mods, I could probably go higher as well if I had better memory.

215 here, but I think the Corsair is keeping me from going further. It's recommended to have a matched pair of sticks for DC, and these are not. One stick is labeled v1.1, the other v2.2.

I haven't really tried dropping the multi way down low and seeing where the DDR tops out....one of these days I will...

210 was stable, BTW, 215 I recall got into WinXP fine, but I got kicked to the desktop when trying to play UT2003, or run 3D Mark 2001SE. So maybe I should say "210" instead of 215....

227mhz dc,interface on with no mods, twinmos pc3200 @ 7,3,3,2 / 2.9v. not matched btw

sweet, the board just came in today, just have to go pick it up after work

Looking forward to seeing what it can do

just to follow up. This board kicks ***

Currently got it up at 225fsb, and will try to higher as soon as I
watercooling back up and running.

One other question, does running in Dual Channel "mode", limit how high you can push your overclock?

deeppow · Sep 25, 2003

Yes, DC will cost 5 to 20Mhz depending on the board and memory. Mine is about 5Mhz. Increased performance resulting from DC is about 3 to 5% at 220Mhz so it is pretty near a push in the gain from DC but the lose in FSB. You should test to see how exactly your board performs, those are just approxrimate numbers.
