What is the fastest you've seen the Abit NF7's FSB at?

I'm currently running my NF7-s (v2.0) at 400fsb with this stalk orb hs. Isn't this orb just a Vantek ICEBERG with Abit wrote all over it? Anyway, I'm wandering if it's safe to go more with the iceberg or should I upgrade to maybe a copper iceberg or better?

200mhz/400mhz fsb is nothing, some people crank theirs to 235+/470+... and I believe that's with stock cooling :eek:

210 at 1.6v VDD

stoopid, you need a VDD mod of like 1.9v to reach those speeds, the highest the board allows is 1.7, that isnt enough

Stock my NF7-S did 227fsb but after vmodding it and running 1.90v it will do 232fsb.

He's talking about Vdd (Chipset voltage) not Vdimm (Memory Voltage).

220-225 straight outta the box
Vdimm @ 2.8, VDD @ 1.8v
For the time being until i get my new ram.

This is single channel and with lousy timings and the board needs to be HEAVILY modded to reach this speeds. My goal is 250 fsb or more at cas2.

Way to go Mackanz!

Mine did 227 right out of the box no sweat.

The only problem is that 512 sticks are useless to overclock more than 240. To do that, you need 3.3 volts at least. 256 sticks are much easier to overclock. Nice clock Larry! What timings?

My first board did 230 out of the box but I blew it up. The replacement I got only does about 215 before flaking out.

That was with the same 5-2-2-C2 I am currently running. I also have a 256 stick of Mushkin Basic 2100 that could almost keep up with my Corsair 3200. All it needed was more voltage. :cool:

im getting a nF7 v1.2 in a few days, im gonna dump my dual channel OCZ pc3700's EL in there.

what speeds you guys think i could hit with no vdd mod.

this board did 250 with a single stick of corsair pc3200.
