how about silent tower ?? Can it fit on ur casing ??

maybe with better heatsink, i am sure u can pump more voltage to ur proc without worries

and get a good fan too

try checking out the barton speed ranking and all thread,

maybe u can get some ideas of what heatsinks u might want to get

Good Luck

aiks...silent tower so big....i think cant fit into it. hmm...from the desktop barton speed ranking, i see some of them using budget aftermarket hsf can oso go more than 1.75vcore.

It depends also on the ambient temp, the ventilation and other factors also.

anyone using two sticks of 1 GB DDR400 RAM in dual channel mode for the NF7-S v2.0 mainboard?

or just better use 2 x 512 MB DDR400 RAM as this setup offer lower latency compared to 2 GB capacity?

1gb ram so expensive...cant afford it. btw wut is the max amount of memory can nf7 hold?
i now using 3 sticks of 512mb.
btw i hav a question here, there are 2 dimm slot near each other and another further away. so actually is which slot running dual-channel with which slot?

I'll quote for u the right setup of dual channel. I get this information from this website

http://www.logan.eclipse.co.uk/abit_nf7_(s)_v2_0.htm

"Memory. So that leads me straight on to the memory for this board. Now all you know that, my pards and I, only use the TwinMos PC3700 with the 4.3ns B chips on it, but you don't have to. BH5 memory is meant to run quite high fsb as well. Take a look around the forum at what others are using to run a high FSB. Take it from me though, the TwinMos stuff flew to 246fsb straight out of the box and I know that RGone has benched it at 250fsb using bios d10.bin. This is the stuff if you can get your hands on it. When OCing, always try and run 256mb modules as they OC better than the 512mb or higher sticks. Try running 2x256 in Dual Channel as you should get a 5% increase. Some find a single stick in Single Channel to get them higher fsb than two sticks in DC. It's up to you test and try it. For Dual Channel use slots 1&3 or 2&3."



"I use 2&3 as they go higher and still stable. If you want to run 3 sticks of ram and still run dual channel then you should have 2x256 in slots 1&2 and a 512 in slot 3.

2x256 = 512 in slots 1&2 and slot 3 is filled with a 512 gives you dual channel...."

It's not the temp that gives u the extra fsb. It depends on the ram chipsets as well.

Yeah, the Logan website do provide lots of usefull information. I start myself with that page also and few others in order to get the best out of my nf7.

hmm uzairi, can NF7-S mainboard can support 2 x 1 GB DDR400 RAM?

i am afraid if the max memory support is 1 GB only..

of coz more than 1gb can! coz i am on 1.5gb

Sure can, but u need to run it at 2T. And of course lower overclocking potential since its a double sided ram and there's 3 piece of them.

Actually if i am using tictac d26 mxt, do i still hav to do the L12 mod like what Logan's site said?coz the modded bios ady hav the L12 softmod.


btw...what is the recommended AGP Voltage to be set at? it is 1.5v by default, but our normal gc actually is running how much volts?

AGP voltage let it set to default @ 1.5v

no need hardmode L12

lolx.. me too hi uzairi hi techno

D26 comes with softmodded L12 built in, so no need do hardmod.

wah...tahnx lot guys.........
gonna go and do test now....

what is the relation vdd is?? cpu or memory?

is ur chipset voltage. ur nforce2 voltage

Barton CPU


Thoroughbred CPU

Can copper shim be fitted to both CPU?

coz I found this link --> http://www.thermaltake.com/2005/accessorie...wCopperShim.htm

said that the thermaltake copper shim was not compatible with barton series.

Anyone has copper shim for barton cpu here?

hmm...barton's core longer than t-bred core...
maybe tat the prob it cant compatible...

Yeah, u dont need a shim if youre carefull enough and with steady hands.

erm...

but from the looks of the shim, it doesnt seem to have any problems with barton core.

from my observation , the only thing that is different is the length of the core, the barton is abit longer than the t-bred.
