What exactly do the third party BIOSes do to make the overclock more stable? I am wondering since I have the NF7-S rev 2.0 board running the stock BIOS with a 2500+ Sempron @ 2016Mhz. The FSB is at 192Mhz with the voltage at 1.808v. It needs to be this high in order to keep the chip stable. Strangely my max temp is only 40*C.
I havent put on my mosfet sinks I dremmeled up yet since ive been too poor to buy thermal epoxy and dont want to risk hot glueing the edges in case they get too hot and soften the glue.
Do you think upgrading the bios will allow me to push the FSB farther. Im hoping to get it to at least a full 200Mhz. Maybe 215 - 220Mhz.
I am too thinking about seeing If I can get a barton 2800+ from ebay for cheap, maybe a 3000+,... and since when is there a socket A 3200+?
Anyway Im just wondering if the bios upgrade would help and if so wich one would you recomend for the NF7-S rev 2.0?
Thanks
