What is your max fsb with abit nf7 / nf7-s / nf7-m

[Ilkerguler]

Rev 2.0 Abit nf7 0309A1 stepping , twinmoss pc3200


vdd : 1.7
fsb : 220
dram ratio : 6/6
nb cooling : default + AS3

what is yours?

 

[Ilkerguler]

And what is your bios settings.

 

[Boostin14PSI]

215 was the highest i tried. I gave me really poor HD performance in pcmark.

 

[The_Jizzler]

highest that was able to bench:

dram 3/3
water cooled NB, AS3
ram timings 2-3-3-7

see sig for rest

Highest I have tried is 220 but it want too stable. Might be more stable if I make the ram timings less aggressive and increase the ram voltage.

I have 11X212 with 1GB of TwinMOS PC3700 @2.9V and CAS2 - runs very stable... Have tried reducing the RAM settings though still doesn't boot and upping the FSB though it still won't boot to Windows. Have had the XP2400 booting to windows at over 2.4GHz though not stable at lower FSB!?!?... I'll never complain of too many BIOS settings though must find more time to experiment!

Highest I've gotten is 225. However, at this speed the onboard LAN craps out after a while.. planning to volt mod the northbridge later

 

[acclu97]

is it common for the onboard lan to crap out at high FSB? I have been having problems with my connection and wasnt sure if it was the onboard lan or my cable modem....????

try cooling the south bridge first.it controles the lan im almost possative,sound also.

can do 228 but my current settings:
221 fsb 1.7vdd
stock nb hs w/as3
xms/hyperx 3500 2.0-2-2-5 2.9vdimm

 

[Jah Warrior]

so far:-

216 x 11
cpu @ 1.825v
DDR @ 2.8v

34c idle 38c full load

stepping up gradually - only had it a week so gimme a chance

I've had a heatsink on it even before I put the board in my case It's nice and cool.

 

[CSaddict]

210 not because it wont go faster because it SAFE!

 

[Audioaficionado]

200 because I only have cheap but stable Samsung PC3200 DDR400 and I don't want to hassle with it for only a percent or two higher score.

I just set up an NF7-S, Rev. 2.0 and with 512 MB Corsair XMS3500 C2 I had been running in a Pentium4 rig. I have got it running at 225 fsb, 2.8 VDIMM at 2-2-2-5 timings. It won't do 3DMark2003 at 228+, even at 2.9 VDIMM, but I'm pretty happy so far. The XP2100+ I am running maxes out at 2415 mhz at 1.9 volts. I drop the ram down to 210 fsb for everyday use, at 2.6 (2.7?) VDIMM.

I've had it at DDR472, 2-2-2-5 at 3.1 volts on a P4 board so this is pretty good dual purpose ram.

I notice at 2.8 VDIMM on the NF7-S it is actually 2.96, correct?

Prime95 @ 225 FSB DC 5-2-2-2.0

SuperPi- [email protected] 225 FSB DC 5-2-2-2.0 - [email protected] only 2480mhz

[email protected] 230 FSB DC 5-2-2-2.0 w/ a little cutie GeForce3 Ti200..

 

[Ilkerguler]

Nice.

I have my XP2100+ maxed out now at 220x11.0 or 2410 mhz, 2-2-2-5, 2.8 VDIMM, 1.6 VCC (Northbridge?), 1.5 VAGP, and 1.87 actual VCORE. I'm not willing to go higher on the VCORE so forget about 2500 mhz. Upping the VCC or VAGP gets me no higher on the fsb. I believe the ram can do 225 fsb if the CPU wasn't so maxed out. Again, I am running a single 512 MB stick of Corsair XMS3500 C2.

I am totally stable here as I've passed a 28' SuperPI run. My benches: 3DMark2001 = 17303, 3DMark2003 = 5303, 3DMark2000 = 19944. Stress temps are 46 C as I am running an insane 5800 rpm 80 mm fan on my Alpha 8045. I am very very impressed with these benches, as to get the same scores on a P4 rig I have to run around 3200-3300 mhz, 180 fsb, and a Granite Bay DC board at 2-2-2-5. I am running a 9700 Pro at 375/335.

I have only been running Athlons for two weeks now and the only other board I tried was a K7RA-133R, so this NF7-S, 2.0 is very impressive, considering a newbie can get this far on an unmodded board and on air. I haven't even touched the stock Northbridge fan. I wil be putting the same CPU in an 8RDA+ and it will be interesting comparing boards.

 

[shimmishim]

230 but not completely stable due to being ram limited (pc3200 bh-5)

vdd mod to 2.0 volts on my 2.0 board (pencil and multimeter)

 

[crull]

I have gotten my NF7-S 1.2 to 145fsb at 1.7 volts. The only way I can get it to post at that speed though is to relax the ram out of sync and it has to be lower then around 350. Anything higher then around 112 is not stable, could be cpu, or ram. I'm using 3200 samsung. I lapped the northbridge and am using a Zalman Chipset cooler w/40mm fan. Southbridge has a heatsink also no fan.
