Do you recomend the new NF7's?

CircuitBreaker8 · 05-08-04, 01:30 PM

Im torn between the new NF7-S or the DFI ULTRA infinity . Both boards seem to have thier problems, but the DFI's seem more major. I heard newegg is shipping the revision 2.4 of the NF7-S and they OC like crazy....is this true?

Ri0 · 05-08-04, 01:39 PM

I also want to know this as I am thinking of getting one. My NF7-S is an old one that is not very good.

johan851 · 05-08-04, 02:09 PM

If you're leaning towards the NF7-S, wait until you get some more confirmation about how good the boards coming from Newegg are. It would suck to get stuck with a crappy NF7-S...I got stuck with 3 bad ones in a row.

What problems with the DFI are you concerned about?

CircuitBreaker8 · 05-08-04, 08:37 PM

What do you mean by bad?

Agent_Mull · 05-09-04, 12:36 AM

I got a refurb nf7-s. Love it. came with all the cables, manuals, IDE to SATA converter. And perfect working condition. But i would doubt that other people would get this lucky.

Where was it purchased? I am pretty confident newegg will send me a new version if I order it.

Circutbreaker8, I went ahead and bought a new NF7-S from newegg on May 10th. Let you know what it is like once I have it up and running later this week.

glock19owner · 05-11-04, 02:02 AM

Newegg - Retail...2 months old or so...one of the first "new" ones...

before the L12 mod...220 FSB max...

After L12 mod...Don't know...memory gives out at 260FSB...MB/CPU stable...memory can not handle 260 wiht only 2.9v's...memory in sig...

Ri0 · 05-12-04, 05:30 PM

Well the new NFS-7 came today. It's the 2.3 I beleive with the blue and purple DIMMS and blue IDE controlers. The NB fan is a newer style. Been running fine at 218, which is an improvement from my old one at 205. Think I'll RMA the olderr one because of all the random rebooting probs I had. Maybe I can still get a 2.5 like Sententails.

tedy · 05-16-04, 04:20 PM

can anyone confirm rev 2.4 from newegg ? and what's the difference between normal 2.0 - 2.4 ?

RJ · 05-20-04, 10:12 PM

I just got 2 of them from NewEgg and they say ver.2.0

mcoleg · 05-21-04, 05:54 PM

where would it say rev. 2.4?

also, mine is a recent one from newegg. fsb goes up to around 245-250 prime-stable then the n/b starts to run out of juice it seems.

NanSea · 05-22-04, 12:38 AM

I got mine a week ago and can't boot up my asus 9600xt, its not recognizing it, the manual says (abit) it does not support a 2.2V AGP and asus says it needs a 'steady stream' of 3.3v or the system will crash. Just some fine print in the manual.

I am quite mad...

Nancy

NanSea · 05-22-04, 12:42 AM

ooops not 2.2. sorry! replace that with,

not support a 3.3v AGP

Sentential · 05-25-04, 11:05 AM

The .4 / .2 etc was started by myself and a few others to describe the differences between each NF7.

Officially there is only 2.0 but there are soooo many varaitions that we adopted that system.

BTW I now have 258 stable

tedy · 05-25-04, 11:56 AM

LOL i'll sell my NF7-S 2.0 ...

just can't get more then damn 200FSB * 11 on my BARTON 2500+ unlocked !

mcoleg · 05-25-04, 07:03 PM

i second that. I had the same problem until i started messing with those voltages. I only got to 203 fsb, but that was just a try in like 5 minutes. I never went back to messing with it to try to get it higher. I may have to do that sometime soon.
