better check the dimension of the heatsink first before buying.. the location of the cpu socktet is so near to the end of the board.. lastime i bought a cooler master heatsink ( no so big i think) it stuck with the PSU (im using a ATX Desktop Casing) .. and i have to self mod the heatsink a bit to be able to use it

no issues fish, guaranteed

Thanks kucing. Actually got somebody want to trade with mine custom wc but mia already. So no point ask about that heatsink. Using back wc rite now.

an7 boleh guna tak mod ni?

nope NF7 family v2.0 jer!

I'm using D26 MantaRay XT @ 2T and I'm having problems getting past 220mhz for FSB , I can hit 222mhz but it becomes unstable after a couple of hours. I'm using KVR Hynix BT/AT-D43's in Dual Channel. They will run 220mhz no problems @ 3-4-4-8. Processor is AMD Athlon XP-M @ 2200 / 1.65v. Any bios other bios which willow allow me to go higher ?

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks

Try using Taipan bios

1T
D27 Taipan 0,3 (SATA 4250) (http://downloads.hwtweakers.net/bios/AMD_k7/abit/nf7_rev2.0/merlin/D27_TaiPan_0.3_ED_Bpl_3.19_28.12.04.rar)

2T
D27 Taipan 0,3 (SATA 4250) CPC OFF (http://downloads.hwtweakers.net/bios/AMD_k7/abit/nf7_rev2.0/merlin/D27_TaiPan_0.3_ED_Bpl_3.19C_27.12.04.rar)

before this, i too, using mantaray XT n onli manage to achieve 220-230. using this bios, 250-253 .

Bro, you using NF7-S v2.0 ? I noticed the link doesn't have the -S there but it does say SATA with the bios title. I takut flash wrong one leh. ~! Once you confirm baru I flash

dude what is your power supply spec???

maybe limitation by a power supply!!!

dude taipan bios proven burn someone mobo here!!!!

try check back post! someone burn their mobo when flashes to taipan bios!

Ahhh ~! I flashed already ~!. Nvm now I go flash to trats D27 ~!. Wish me luck ~!

i pray for u dude,,,,

man mantarays xt 2t is the best stable bios outthere!

Revert back to Mantaray D26 XT 2T. Like you said , seems to be the most stable bios. Maybe later I'll play again. Thanks

ill be glad to help ya!

BTW; too many sins to erase thow!

with the mantarays xt 2t i got the highest fsb and tight timming!

With some mod. bios like D27 3D fire, you have to softmod the L12 in order to get higher fsb.

Erm im using NF7-S v.2.0 , AMD Athlon XP Throughbred-B 2600 and Samsung TCCD DDR600 in dual channel mode, ACbel 350watt Active PFC...

but seems like i cannot go beyong 215 FSB@.. the system can boot but cannot load window.. im not sure why.. any recomendation for bios?

seems like not enough vcore to me..... try upping the vcore 1 notch....

man BARTON core cant do L12 watchout man!

who told u kenot ? all socket A processor can do L12 mod man .... make sure u correctly connected those pins if not u knw wut gonna happen next

bro its for all except BARTON!

"""
Mobile / TBred L12 Mod. So now you have got all our hardware and determined you have a good OCing mobo i.e. 220+fsb. The next thing we have to do is the L12 mod by wire trick. This is for the folks running the Tbred 133 cpu's and the 133 Mobile cpu's. THIS IS NOT FOR BARTON core cpu's just for the TBred/Mobile cpu's. If you have a Barton and your hardware & mobo are capable, then you should easily go well past the 220FSB. The L12 mod for TBred/Mobile is done simply by inserting a 1 cm strand of telephone wire into 2 holes in the cpu socket, bend it in the shape of a U and insert it in holes that are marked in the picture below. Blue markings at the lower left of the image of CPU socket"""
