Alright, had this thing running since this morning. This is my very first build so I have some questions to ask.

So far I am still at stock voltage, I want to see how far it will go there. Memory has 2.9v though.

I'm at 11x215 (2365) right now, and everything is dandy, but I just tried 11x220 and Windows errored out and when I rebooted it said my vidcard was likely the cause...is that possible? Do I need to raise any voltages for the vidcard to be able to keep up with the processor or anything?

My timings are 2-3-3-11 right now. Temps are 34 idle, 39 load at 11x215 right now. Once again, its still at stock voltage that the NF7 will do, 1.536v.

Give it a little more vcore

But could the vidcard have caused that first crash?

Also, do the chipset and agp voltages need to be modified at all?

I bumped it to 1.65v and put it to 12.5x200. Time for testing.

I would not adjust the AGP voltage, it can kill the card or shorten its life dramitcaly.

The chipset voltages may need to go up as you push beyond 200mhz FSB.

OK, I think the options were maxed at 1.9v for the chipset. I believe its at 1.6 or 1.7 right now, would you suggest any higher for a 210 or so fsb?

Just see how far you can go. Test with Prime95.

plus windows is lousy at telling you what causes errors so dont worry about your graphics card.

Yes, but in going as far as I can, I need to know if increasing the chipset voltage is needed.

as others have said as long as your AGP frequency is still at 66mhz your card isn;t the problem...

also I dunno bout the Northy needing that much my NF7 northy does 220fsb at sock voltage pretty well, I think is just my memory erroring out (XMS PC-3200 2-3-3-8... wish I had BH-5/6)

Arkangyl - I cant get my XMS 3200 up to 220 to save my life.

Can you or anyone else with a NF7-S tell me what you have your CPU FSB/DRAM RATIO is set at? I've heard of people talking about 1/1, but there is no option for that. There is only 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, and 6/6. Which all are 1/1 raio, but what is the difference? Right now mine is set on auto. There is also a "by SPD" setting.
