What should I expect from NF7-S and Hyperx?

I have ordered an Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0, I have a 1700+ (JIUHB0312)(underclocked 2800+) and know my memory will be the bottle neck as I currently only have Kingston Value Ram 512mb PC2100. I see Kingston finally stepped up and made some performance chips. Does anyone else currently own an NF7-S and use HyperX ram? If so what kind of overclocks, timings, and FSB speeds are you attaining?

I was thinking of either 2x 256 PC3000 or 1x 512 PC3000.

i currently have corsair xms 3500 on the nf7-s 1.2 most info in sig
i have a nf7-s rev2 and hyperX 3500 coming tomorow so ill be testing and maxing that out. ill post results back.

but currently i top out at 230fsb 2.0-3-3-7 2.9v and 225 2.0-2-2-4 2.9v
if i was you id go no less than xms 3200LL or some 3500 of either brand.

Please do I'd appreciate it...

I agree with deathstar13. For Abit NF7-S v2 I wouldn't go anything lower than 3200LL or 3500.

I'm using Dual 256 3200LL XMS corsair with good results. So far memtest86 stable @ 225 4-2-2-2 @ 2.9v. Haven't tried any higher.

you should spect alot of surprices, I just hope they are good

My Abit NF7-S 2.0 and 1700+ 0310xpmw will be here Monday. I currently have 2 sticks of HyperX 512MB PC3000 in my rig and a 512MB Corsair XMS-3200C2 waiting to be sold.

I am going to be testing both and will sell whatever does worse. I haven't been able to push either brand of Ram on my current 8K3a+ setup.

I'll post results early next week

this is what happens when you get a Abit NF7... (look at my sig)

and of course a little bit of my skillz


Edit: I'm on a Duron processor now, doing 225mhz FSB DC fully stable in non-stop hours of UT2003. I'll be preparing to get another 200+ points on my Tbred + GF3ti200 to break my own record again. man i'm getting tired of being 1st place.

I'v got 1GB of HyperX PC3000 and it's OCed to PC3200 at 2-2-2-6 with no overvolting. Haven't pushed it any more cuz my CPU sucks and I can't

T.

Right now I am running 1 x 512 PC2100 Kingston Value Ram @ 12 x 165 on an Abit NF7-S and a TBred 1700+ (0312). So needless to say I thinking of buying new ram. I believe this ram is economically priced and will give me the performance to get my FSB speeds up! What do you think?

well i was able to test the hyperx 3500 on my nf7-s rev1.2 but not on the rev2 as i borked the bios.

and how heres the dirt.
single channel running hyperX3500 256 mb alone.
220 2.0-2-2-5 2.8vdimm
229 2.0-3-3-7 2.8vdimm
it beats my xms 3500 only by doing the same at a lower voltage. xms needs 2.9 to do these speeds.

my mobo tops at 229 so i cant say which goes higher.but id suspect the hyperx might have a lead on it since it does the same speeds at lower voltages.

put together in dual channel i get 220 fsb 2.0-2-2-5 2.9v
but can only run 210-215 2.0-2-2-5 on 3dmark,this is a vdd issue but im not willing to mod this mobo.

conclusion? its cheaper,same speeds and does it at lower voltages than the xms. is it better? id have to give it credit it might just be better than my xms3500 but by a very small margian.

btw dual channel fsb should improve as im still burning in the hyperX and also that second memory controller thats is used in DC running. i expect i can run dual channel on 3dmark at 220fsb soon.

also that is just a 3dmark issue.it passes everything else at 220 dc tho.

Blah.. thats not what I wanted to hear.. I just orderd 1x512 XMS 3200LL. I have an A7V8X, and soon TbrdB 1700. Should I get the Abit mobo?

I love my pc3000 hyper x gives me 208 100% in everything I can run 212 but ut2k3 will only run stable @ 208.

I'am getting a stick of twinmos 3200 512 soon to see what preformance gain I get in fsb and with 1 gig.

sweet, thats all I needed to know... If I can acheive a 200fsb I'll be happy! Guess that will be one of my next purchases but I think its tied with a water cooling system at the moment...
