insert blank floppy disk in floppy drive.
double click My Computer.
right click drive A (or whatever name you called your floppy)
select format disk
tick "Create an MS-DOS startup disk"
click start
Voila.. one bootable disk ready. 50 cent please.

download the modded bios in a folder
extract the content
copy the awardbios (1)flash utility,(2)modded bios bin file (3)anything in that extracted folder lah and paste them in the newly created boot/startup disk.
voila again... another 50 cent please.

Next flash the bios...

I wonder, apart from "how to update/flash bios", can we discuss the bios performance ere? I mean in terms of overclocking. Infact any modded bios, lazy to create more thread and don wanna waste bandwidth and couldn't find the previous thread disscussion about the modded NF7-S bios. Thread starter can or not?

So T0|\|`/, hows the performance? compared to the D26 Mantaray XT? U're using the 2T right?

Y.B. Tan Sri CEO, so far most of tictac's bios user is OK with the bios, infact they even gain better performance when using the bios, but not sure bout the beta version.
I've tried with the AN7 modded bios by tictac a few months ago and gain a few MHz improvement (with standard bios with a mobile cpu, the memory is a bit reluctant to go above 215MHz but with modded bios >230Mhz is a jiff).

regarding the cpu micro code, if the bios is based on the ori abit's latest micro code than the same micro code is used for the moded bios. Need to refer to the ori bios microcode description to confirm wheter it support sempron or not.

1T is better, but depends on what ram and mobo u're using... on an NF2 mobo + double sided ram, i'll recomend using 2T for stability and greater clock speed.

result?... so far oni like this--->Tictac's D27 3Dfire on Mobile XP2600 with NF7S rev 2.0

Oh, you did get above 251Mhz with mantaray... what chips is your ram? single/double sided? A lot of the mantaray's users reported a good result with the bios, i dunno cause now i'm trying with the d27 3D fire (2T).. still burning in though.

hey xcrue.. may i suggest you change the title of your thread to a:

NF7/NF7-S Rev2.0 Modded Bios: Discussions and Results

Please? Cause I'm sure a lot of us NF7/NF7-S modded bios user will contribute and perhaps the mod/staff can combine another thread about the D26Matarays with this one..

Just my 2 rupiah... but surely i'll be your strongest supporter for this thread .. and nice to see sifoo tictac here commenting and guiding us

Actually xcrue what are you trying to achieve?

1. Highest GHz
2. Highest Benchmark score

If Highest GHz.. i'd suggest u try loosing you ram timings and is your ram one sided or two sided ram (i'm not familiar with corsair's) 1 sided (as in you chips oni on one side of the ram pcb) will work great on 1T and vice versa..

If highest bechmark score/highest fsb.. well.. tight timings at high fsb, then again you bh6's is oni fed with max Vdimm of 2.9, sad to say but it's either you do a Vdimm mod or OCZ DDR booster.

Do take note that if using the D27 3D fire bios, you'll need to do an L12 hard mod for your board cause the L12 soft mod is not included with the bios.. (correct me if i'm wrong tictac )

aiyah just a simple wire mod, will take less than 5 minutes, it's worth it la.
Try 1T, double sided rams work best with 2T on an NF2 chipset... but benchies scores're a bit whoosy(the 2T one).






well, sir, if you're planning to flash the modded bios (1T or 2T depending on you ram), yes it can be done to your NF7-S ver2 rig, cause we're discussing about it now, in this thread i mean. The L12 mod oso can be done to you mobo

and thanks again to mr dictionary, Mr PCcrazy for sorting things out in here

well xcrue.. which L12 mod you want? The soft mod L12 or the wire mod L12.. most of tictac's modded bios are L12 soft mod embedded.. except for the D27 modded bios which required the wire mod... just be vewy-vewy carefull when doing the wire mod eventhough it's look easy.

Just a quickie... I notice a sudden drop in sandra's scores when using modded bios (D26 and D27), has anyone experieced this or my mobo goneded ledy

Well it was both the D26 Mantaray's and D27 3D fire's bios by Tictacs.. my max fsb is 245 (with L12 wire mod of course) but i've got some temp issue which causes instability when priming.

aik? what happened? I thought we're discussing modded bios ere? Now becoming L12 mod pulak ,

Neway, can the modded bios user post here their best achievement on NF7S mobo here?

I'll start when i can find my pics, , how bout like this

1. Pics of cpu-z (for confirmation of claims)
2. Type of bios and by whom
3. Type of stick(s) (ram).

I'll post mine after find my pics

wokay here's mine:



2. Tictac's D27-3Dfire bios
3. 1 x KVR BT-D43 512K very loose timings of 3-4-4-11

cubchai what rams're u using? single sided rams best with 1T and double sided with 2T. L12 mod? If the bios doesn't have the soft mod L12 mebbe you can do the wire mod.

yours is the single sided ram, try loosen up the timings when oc'ing then oni tweak to the tightest stable one. Wheter must mod the L12 or not mebbe my post in this thread can give you the idea here.Click here :Should mod L12 or Not?
Hey a lot of users are having a good oc with tictac's mantaray's bios, , It was based on the D26 Abit bios and tictac and his team did well in improvising them... dang, wish i've joined this forum earlier.

For burning in try cpu-burn in.. download it here Click CPU Burn-In Page. when running the burn in s/ware, tick disable error checking for maximum heat generation, burn in at least 5 hrs.. and, good luck.
What happened? How come you mobo went down (sorry i didn't go through all the forums here if you'd posted it).. Neway, we're collecting results now, if xcrue can build a d/base it'll be great .

EDIT: Link was broken

.. i just be thankfull, someone did had time to mod the bios.. ,
Your 230fsb with what Vdimm? Mem chips? L12 mod?

.. wow xcrue.. really sorry to hear about your mobo burned shit thing.. .. How about other D27 Taipain user? Got any problems?

Neway, i only use the D27 3Dfire 2T by tictac.. if sh@t happens i can pm him

gsan, that's it man , you're using a delicious chips, can push higher meh..

by the way as for the rest the tictac's D27 3Dfire does not include the soft L12 mod.. you have to do the wire mod your self.

sound like a corrupted bios, any other symtoms? .. try pm'ing mhn21 or sarjan hassan.. they'll know what to do.
