THe new one.... Sub-Zer0 is just fine. Trat's D24 essentially turns your NF7 into a DFI....in a bad way

Well Im ironically back to Trat's D24. Its just so much more stable for me. Eventho my scores are the same...its alot more responsive and stable.

Ok so umm soo the Trats Bios lowers youre scores by alot but it is more stable for you ?
I tried it and i didnt get any FSB diff, im ganna take my pc2700 sticks out cuss i doubt they can reach 220fsb and are making me have the memtest error's. Altho if youre saying it is lower youre scores by alot then im going back to the D23 subzero.
WIth 210fsb on my timmings i get the same bandwidth and sandra scores as i would with 230fsb @ youre timmings....
Here is the fsb i got with the trat bios. Using my single pc3200 stick. Its pretty good but i have to use 3-4-4-11 timmings. Itried 250fsb it booted into windows but then rebooted like a minute later, i think itsbecause i havent done the chipset voltage mod.

Still testing..... score loss is still inconclusive. Im working on it still. There may in fact be no drop. Unfortunatly 3dmark01 is too unreliable

UPDATE: The performance loss is infact minimal. Here is my latest score:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7860909
Turns out that @ 258 x 9.5 Im bogged down by low clocks. Once I raised it to 10 x 251 my problems have disappeared

You be the judge... Personally I *WILL* use this BIOS. There is a point loss. But its minimal 200-300 points. However OCing ability <in some cases> has gone thru the roof.
Old Score ( 10 x 247 <D23 Sub-Zer0>): http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7820261 **20346
New ( 9.5 x 256 <Trat's D24>): http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7859923 **20327
New ( 10 x 250 <Trat's D24>): http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7860909 **20595
This is with the exact same settings and PC... only the BIOS have been changed. If this BIOS works <cuz it hasnt for a couple pplz> I would use it. Any performance loss will be easily made up with OCing.

Lmao!!! w00ty. Welcome brother to the new NF7-S 250FSB+ Club.
Glad to hear it worked well. BTW I love this BIOS too. Im gonna run more tests. But so far..... what I thought was a performance loss seems to be negligable.
Also keep in mind that this BIOS *seems* to *ONLY* work on the new NF7s. I havent seen this BIOS fully tested on a wide audience.... but so far its only worked 1/2 the time after having my freinds try it.
Some mobos like it <like urs and mine> others dont. For those who use D10 Tic-tac made a special revision with the CPC disabled.
The links for it are on Page 7 of my Thread

Im trying to dig my 2600mhz sandra score using the D10 regualr abit bios. I got 10,000/4100
Ur getting 9880/4100 with this bios.....
Also what fsb can u get Sen with better timmings, Like 2.5-3-3-11, cus ur using 3-4-4-11 which are stupidly high.

I think that 300watt Power supply of yours is holding you back.
