OK guys, pls recomend some good bios for me.

I got:
NF7 v2.0
AthlonXP 2200+ (200FSB*10.5=2100Mhz)
Kingston DDR333 512mb double-sided.

ok...i tried mantaray xt cpc and no cpc, merlin both cpc and no cpc.
all latest version. i get lower benchmark score on sisoft sandra at memory and cpu for the merlin modded bios. and also lower score on mantaray xt cpc on.
with mantaray xt cpc off, i get about same with the original v27 bios score. but no hope to get more than 205fsb at x10.5.

i tought at the mantaray xt change log there wrote bandwidth peak@10.5?

but now i oni got a DDR333 ram. so if i raise more FSB my kingston valueram cant hold it.

planning to buy another 2xDDR400 ram and sell my DDR333.

so do u think can i still lower my multi and raise my fsb to more than 200Mhz with this lousy KVR DDR333 ram on it?

i try to oc my ram to ddr400 with default 2.6v voltage but can get into windowsxp. it can POST.

lifetime waranty..but if when the ram die, want to claim bak oso susah.... i only got 1pc of tis ram.

if i up the voltage to like 2.8v or 2.9v, without ram sink can the ram overheat?

btw...i am using all stock cooling...so if i hav to up the fsb higher, i'll need more vcore and the cpu will be proly more hot.

ok...i believe wut u said.
will try it later at 2.9v! lets see if it can up to 400mhz without any weird problem....

what chip is ur kingmax using?
do u still using the same timing as b4?

i tried to set the voltage to 2.8v or 2.9v and oc my ram to ddr400 but could not POST.

it is a kingston's chip there. not hynix or anything else...

wow! cooooooooool!!!

i think u muz check and see if the 80mm fans are faster or the 120mm faster. if the 80mm are faster, then try remove the 120mm. if the 120mm is faster, then no need to remove anything.

if u are planning to get another higher rpm 120mm fan, then the 80mm fans does not need to be remove. if not planning to get another 120mm fan, then u shud remove the 120mm fan.

hav a question here, how do they edit the bios? what are the programs needed?

ya..i want to make a custom bios like some minor tweaking and add some bios splash screen.

then how bout the -12 volt? my abit aplication alwiz monitor it go less than -12v...it can go till -13v or -13.5v.

putting heatsink on southbridge chip? actually u can put a ramsink on the mosfet transistor. it can helps stable the vcore voltage and others.

is it a power transistor for your vcore voltage, vdimm voltage and other voltage. It is a black and square like component with 3 pin. it will mostly located near your cpu slot near some capasitor there.

i said put ramsink, not fan ler...fren...

juz buy a ramsink like the wan from cooler master. the ramsink comes with thermal tape, so juz stick the ramsink on the transistor. sometimes 1 ramsink can manage to cover 2 transistor if they are near enuf.
