Well, if you are into some serious OCing, I would recommend the D10 Hacked Bios. The D20 is also a good Bios.
I personally am using the D10 hacked bios and I have gotten to 242 FSB, but only when the Vcore is at 1.95. If you see my sig, I don't like running a high Vcore. Never go past 1.85V.

?
Where can you get these D10 (hacked) and D20? Are they just the ones you get from abit's site?
And is it really nessasary to discharge cmos after flashing the bios?

I don't have any dates, but I have the d10 hacked bios if you want it. I will post it for you.
Here you go: The Bios is below and the Flashmenu Link. You have to flashmenu to install that bios.

If you want the d20, just post back here. I will get a link for you.

I just don't like my temps to go that high. Once I get my Tornado, I might go past 1.85volts only for a benchmark and not a day to day use kind of thing. If my cooling was ever better, I would go over it. But ATM, I am just fine at 1.7volts (2.4Ghz) and it Prime95 stable. That is all that matters to me.

Oh well. I just email abit about Rma replacement. Since this board was rma replacement board. they will send out another board 2 day air. and just swap in and out. I can use a slow ocmptuer for now i guess. I haveto say abit forums are pretty helpful evem the abit rma people thye gave me a call to confirm that i didnt have to pay 25$ or anything. GREAT company
Thanks everyone for helping.

So far the 20 is working well for me.

Sorry to hear about the board. I hope it was just a bad board and not the flashing of the BIOS that killed it.

The board is probably good but since the BIOS is too badly corrupted, you can't reflash because the computer can't even post.
Abit can send you a spare BIOS CMOS that's aready flashed so you just replace the corrupted BIOS chip with the new one. After you boot, you hot swap the good rescue chip with the corrupted one and reflash it again. If all goes well, you'll be back in business and then you can put your spare rescue chip some place safe in case you need it in the future.

That's a good idea. Reminds of something Hoot posted when he talked about swapping out of a BIOS chip from another mobo and he just flashed it through Windows. I am working on doing what he did so I can have a spare just in case anything should happen to my mobo later down the road.

Both times I've bought Abit NF7-S, I also got an extra flashed CMOS as nVidia nForce2 boards still can hose their own BIOS if you do silly things like shut off power before the BIOS changes get saved.
