Short and sweet:
Whats the max FSB you guys have hit stable on the NF2 chipset? I'm referring to the NF7-s in particular but any nf2 experiences will do. I'm looking into some new RAM but I don't want to spend money on bandwidth I can't utilize. Post away my fellow S-M OCers. :ninja:

    The most I've ever heard of is 250, which both Mackanz and Thrax have hit, iirc. That's the highest the NF7 boards will go (bios limitation), to the best of my knowledge.

    The highest I've hit personally is 232

    Highest I've been to is 210, that's with the latest stepping as well.

    Though I bet it's my RAM....

    Having seen how Thrax and Mackanz work, I doubt they did that with stock cooling. :bigggrin:

    Oh, I didn't see that part. In that case, the highest FSB I've hit is uh, 0MHz. My NF7-S never ran with the stock northbridge heatsink. Ever.

    Okay then, I edited out the stock cooling part. ;)
    I'm no stranger to throwing a little extra cooling oomph in there when its needed. In fact, it was your 'Throw massive cooling on your NB and GPU' or w/e thread that finally pushed me to toss this together. Keep the FSBs coming. :thumbsup:

    Here you go paroxym. This isn't fully stable but shows what the DFI NF2 is capable of.

    Yeah I've seen 270-280 before with like a 10 and 9.5 multi so like 2.7GHz.

    This guy has an insane Thorton that goes all the way to 2.8 on cold air. Sick.
