Got my 947u and Enermax fan today, and started pushing the settings further. Right now, I'm at 2.347 Ghz, 113x11, vcore = 1.65v.

For some odd reason, if I ever try to get the vcore any higher than 1.65, the system wont post. The 10.5 multi also appears to destabilize the system.

Anyways, the CPU temp is hovering around 42*C!

I'll keep pushing. If anyone has some tips (it's been a while since I was able to push the system harder) please don’t hesitate to clue me in!

P.S.

I used to be stuck at 2 Ghz, so this is already a huge improvment!

    Then you need to update your sig :)

    I don't remember *exactly* but the multiplier range on NF7-S from *I believe* 8.5 to 10.5 doesn't work properly at high FSB speeds. I think there's a trick to fix it that involves a pin mod or something, someone will be along in here shortly to explain it for us - I may even try it meself, as I'm @ 211 X 11 and wouldn't mind more bandwidth.

    You need the modded bios 10 to have the 10 and 10,5 multis working. It rules. SMJ, you mean 213 fsb right? Not 113.

    Yeah man, even my Gigabyte mobo can do 113 FSB... ;)

    Not true, mate!

    BIOS 19 can do 10/10.5 at all FSBs I've tried on my new NF7-S.

    TheSMJ - i'm having a similar problem with my P4 system, where I can't push the voltage above a certain point. Drasnor was saying something about voltage leak on the chip - meaning that when it gets to a certain point, on a chip by chip basis, certain transistors just get locked on the "ON" setting, keeping it from performing most of its normal operations. that could be crazy, but if you find a solution let me know, and i'll try it on mine

    All right, I'll give this new BIOS a try (I'm using 1.8 right now)

    Yeah, 213 is what I meant. Actually, it seems that I cant go any higher than 210 w/o lockups every 30-60 minutes, no matter what vcore. I'll keep trying though.

    Actually, I'm at 1.75V right now... it seems the only vcore I cant use is 1.675.

    Still stuck at 210. Haven't tried 10.5 multi, cause I still can't seem to get beyond 210, I dont see the point. :(

    I'll keep plugging though.

    EDIT: Tried the 10.5 multi (@ 110). Still didn't work.

    arg ... wtf

    good luck man, proceed to pimp-slap that cpu (as long as you're folding with it, otherwise get it OUT OF MY HOUSE)

    I have had better luck on mine with a muli of 11 than I do of 10.5. Why don't you try that.
