nf7-s2 and nf7-sg?

[Jklipper]

3.2 vdimm is nice. 3.3 should be the standard for an ocing board. Gotta love the southbridge heatsink on that thing

Those metal strips are the same "overclocking strips," that were on the TH7, and TH711 boards.

Overclocking strips? What function do those serve?

I'm getting a new board and I think I might try out the NF7-S2 instead of Nf7-s and post the results. From what I heard its just a cleaned up version of NF7-S v2.0, no mods needed, like L12, vdimm, or anything. The only drawback is the 1.88vcore and missing mosfets. I hope it will be a better overclocker.

Whats this I hear about a NF7-S v2.4? When is this suppose to come out and what changes are they doing? I thought the S2 was the new version.

check the price of both, the NF7-S2 is cheaper, its $74 as opposed to the oringinal NF7-S at $85. If you read up on that thread, it is stated that their is no multiplier adjustments. No soundstorm...etc. stuff like that.

Maybe Abit took out the Mults because AMD is "superlocking" the chips. They must have redesigned the board for pure FSB because look at the VDIMM. 3.2 is enough even for BH5.

Um, if you check out this thread: http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=333350
over at the amdmb forums, you'll see the NF7-S2 has no cpu multi adjustment and also CAS 2.5 is the lowest option. (I imagine the NF7-SG2 would not be very different) Now the lack of multiplier options may not be so bad, but wth about the memory settings. That sounds like a rip to me.
I don't know about anyone else, but that does not sound very promising as far as overclockability goes.

Just my $0.02...
