I changed out my videocard out for a 98PRO... after I disliked it I put my NP back in... no POST..... Put the PRO back in... got it to POST but the screen got garbled and froze at the "Please do not turn the PC off as CMOS saves to BIOS". I cut the power quickly and it hasnt posted sinceWhat did you say happened to your latest NF7? I'm sorry to hear it... seems like everyone's Abit boards are going down the tubes.

Im gonna have to agree with you on that one.... Im half tempted to sell mine.
I really dont want a dead mobo when I can just go out and buy a DFI that will do everything I want @ stock.
However we must specify what old / new truly is
... this is how it is AFAIK
Technically:
Rev2.1
Looks:
#1 Had all mofsets
#2 Primary MOFSETS that had clearly depicted "Made In China"
#3 Metal CPU Lever
#4 Black DIMM / IDE slots
#5 Old style NB fan
#6 Hot MOFSETS
#7 Pumpkin Orange PCB
#8 Over-volts DIMMS by .05
#9 Undervolts by (.5v) <--- Resolved by MOFSET sinks
Characteristics:
OCs like a SOB... the tru blu NF7. Did 250 stock...yadda..yadda
__________________________
Rev2.2 (Mine)
#1 MOFESTS have a circular indent. No wording on them
#2 CPU Plastic Lever
#3 Black DIMMS / IDEs
#4 New syle NB fan
#5 Hot MOFSETS
#6 Missing MOFSETS by the USB / SATA ports
#7 Deeper Redish Orange PCB color
#8 Over-volts DIMMS by .05
#9 Undervolts by (.5v) <--- Unresolved by MOFSET sinks
Characteristics:
Moderate OCer. Will break 220 but only with the L12 mod. Refuses to go past 240 without extensive modding. (havent done it yet)
--->(Mine) Refuses to work stabily with teh infamous 2-2-2-11 combo using *good* BH5 (max 210mhz @ 2.9v).. but works fine @ 232 using 2-2-3-11 using the EXACT same voltage
__________________________________________
Rev2.3 (*New NF7* technically)
#1 Cheap MOFSETS (????)
#2 CPU Plastic Lever
#3 Colored IDE / RAM slots (blue / purple)
#4 New syle NB fan
#5 Unknown MOFSET temps
#6 Missing MOFSETS by the USB / SATA ports
#7 Deeper Redish Orange PCB color
#8 Over-volts DIMMS by (????)
#9 Undervolts by (????)
Characteristics:
Poor OCer... not known to break over 220mhz. Further quirks are unknown.....

Dude, mine is none of the above!!!
It has a metal lever, black dimms and IDEs, a new style fan, overvolts the vdimm by 0.3-0.5 according to MBM5. Has the mosfets that you claim missing.
Suma.
your NF7-S is a freak, congrats
Did you mention that the older boards have a metal CPU socket lever and the newer ones have a plastic lever ?

Just got mine in. New style (v2.3) but has a metal CPU lever!?!?!?
Too weird... Im gonna OC it tommorow
Sentential said:<sigh>
Yea...it does look like someone stole my BH5.... I cant find it anywhere.
I swear... may that person lead a tragic life...god damned thief.
Anyone have a suggestion for PC4000 RAM....im in the market now
_________________________________
So far (using Level1) it looks like a good OCer. Im gonna test it further but Its fine @ 216. (no L12 mod)
Gonna buy some PC4k soon....I still cant believe its really gone
_______________________________
NF7-S 2.4 (mine) has an additional missing MOFSET. Location of the new missing mofset is directally below the "NF7-S" green logo, between the 2 capacters
