NF7-S PCI Lock?

PiMpShiN · Dec 25, 2003

Does the abit nf7-s motherboard have pci lock if you get the fsb too high it wont harm any of the components on the pci slots like the asus a7n8x?

The default PCI setting is 66mhz but you can increase it in the bios if you want to. So to answer your question, yes it does have the pci lock.

great thanks.

You mean its set at 33Mhz for PCI. 66Mhz would be the AGP which is also locked and adjustable in the BIOS.

Im not sure, but, isn't the option in the bios for the AGP frequency for the PCI bus also but divided by 2?

I.E.
66mhz AGP /2 = 33?

I believe your referring to the dividers which if you set at 3/3,4/4,5/5 and 6/6 are in sync meaning 1/1 for CPU ram.. so doing either of those settings that are equal will lock the PCI bus at 33.. Theres another selection above that i believe which is for the AGP. Starts at 66Mhz default and can go up to 99.

Not 100% sure but I read somewhere that the PCI is locked at 33 regardless what your BIOS setting is.

I stand corrected. The AGP freq is set to 66mhz but can be changed. But the PCI freq is locked at 33mhz.

Thanks knownkiller for pointing that out.
