NF7 rev2. with Geil Memory

[Josebmw]

Hello, I would like to know if I can use Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 in a NF7 motherboard, in Dual Channel, if it works well with it. I have to return the DFI, which is giving me problems.

Do you mean run at all, run at spec, or run above spec?

I'd like to know if they are compatible with the motherboard. If so, it would not be a problem oc'ing it. It is not on ABIT's memory support list.

I am currently running Geil in my board. It runs pretty well, I was running at 220 stable fora while, but when I got my Radeon 9800 pro I had to back off some. Still not sure why, but I am at 215 stable as a rock. Great memory in MHO.

Thanks, good to know. Another thing, are rev. 2 boards ultra 400 revisions?
With my proc I could maybe get 230 fsb with relaxed timings, since I was reading in the L12 Mod post that 166 fsb Athlons by default, can oc in to that range, and 133 athlons do less. Really interesting.

Yes rev. 2 was the ultra 400 revision. Good luck with your chip. Can't wait to see the results

geil golden dragon mem is awesome, it's almost guaranteed to to run at pc3500 speeds at the same timings

check my sig

Ir0nman, do you mean that the rev. 2 for the NF7-S is ultra 400? Because I'm thinking of the NF7 rev. 2

 

[necromanx13x]

yes, the rev2 is ultra400.

 

[Ir0nman]

I believe both revisions are ultra 400, but the best way t osee is to check abit's stie, see if it guarentees 400 fsb, then you will know for sure.

v1 and v1.2 are not ultra400, they only support 333fsb.

I'm running NF7 rev 2.0, Barton 2500+, and Geil Golden Dragon PC3200. I'm currently doing stable at 210X11 with timings of 8-4-4-2.5, 1.95 Vcore, 2.9 Vdimm, 1.6 Vchipest, 1.6 Vagp. I was running 215x11 @ 9-3-3-2 before, but like Ironman, when I got my Radeon 9600 Pro, I had to back off on the fsb and timings otherwise, games and 3Dmark crashes. With my old Geforce3 Ti200 it ran fine.

Why does it crash when you get a new vid card? I noticed that with the DFI Ultra rev. 2 the video card ran hotter and less stable at the settings of my Soltek 75FRN-L rev.1 board. For instance with the "new" board the memory can only go up to 292 or so instead of 300 MHz. I'm waiting to see what happens with the RMA, the DFI just would not start up at all @ 100 fsb even.

Alright, I got the ABIT NF7, and the computer is stable @ 230 FSB x 10.5, I'm pretty happy with this mobo.
