I've got a KT333 which will run 220. I'll gladly sell it for $100
ok guys I am the owner an abit nf7 rev 2.0 nf2 mobo I quickly bought now off ebay for $65 plus $10 shipping and its brand new with manual and disk! I found a good deal so I figure ill take a chance :) I shall be very careful with her as to reduce the chance of sudden death. Itll be quite a bit of work to swap mobos since I have the slk-800u in my kt400 but I can do that, just gotta unlazy myself(hello Mikesg) and sapasion, I seriously considered your mobo but the chance for a cheap, brand new nf2 approached me so I am going to try this path instead. Your kt333 is a very nice motherboard none the less :) also, I hope I get lucky and match or beat your kt333 in fsb on that nf2. any idea if I can get 225fsb or is around 190-200 fsb a realistic limit? I really do want 225fsb since thats the sweet spot for my cpu :)
*ducks as the cows just flew over my head, narrowly missing me*
Congrats T-bird:)
Well, its about time!!!:D

Ebay, OMG. $65, and brand new???? slap me Lone Ranger, but i would be highly suspicious of a so called 'brand new' NF7-S, bought at an Ebay auction.
Wonder why it went so cheap????
i am muttering to myself what may happen if it is a dog, "i told you the NF7 series sucked", as i close this post.
hopefully, it will give you the ride i and many others have been on for quite some time already.
personally, retail with warranty would have been my choice for about $40 more.

Same thing as what I was going to sayQuote:

We are talking about the "El Cheapo" here, if he can get a suspiciously low priced "new" mobo he will buy it. We just have to see if it sux like some of the other stuff he has bought.Quote:

i have traveled down that road before.
personally, i feel much safer doing business in the classifieds at any of the many BBS's i cruise on occasion if i am on the look for a guaranteed/proven part.
but Ebay? from a much larger UNKNOWN black hole.
the one expensive computer item i bought off Ebay (9700Pro by Sapphire back in Oct 02) has been nothing short of a nightmare with 3 exchanges and the vendor going out of business and Sapphire and ATI leaving me in a 5 month limbo until the last exchange was approved, i could go on, but i think you get my drift.
one can only hope he found a 'jewel'. if it is a dawg, he will be intolerable, and we will respond with 'what the heck did you expect?', same old stuffs, again.
clock on.
baldy:D
Yes, I also fear what garbage may be spread about the NF7 if he does in fact get a bad one.
"My KT400 "eats" this board for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks!"
Oh, and T-Bird, you have Corsair Value, how can you expect 225FSB at teh timings you love?:confused:
on the ebay subject i liek to use the great saying....
"you get what you pay for......most of the time"
He never said it was an S~ 75 shipped would be a normal price for just a normal NF7 especially off ebay.
Quote:
it also must have the option for 2-2-2-6-t1 timings
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
he hasn't been doing his homework. i run mine @11, as per numerous postages, just no hassle there.
and that ram, fingers crossed.....................especially dual channel.
i foresee problems already.
but, got to give Tbird credit, he did finally fold and purchase the board, this is a devout KT400 fanboy, it had to hurt to make this decision and then tell us about it.
lets wait and see what he can get.

:D
Does this mean I get to call him a hypocrite?:D
Nowhere in the description does it refer to the board as an "S" version. That shouldn't affect overclockability though.Quote:

"Wonder why it went so cheap????"
he bought em wholesale for even less and has too many, hence his "buy it now" for $65. He might have a few left too. also the kt400s and new a64 mobos have brought the prices of the nf2's down as well.
"i am muttering to myself what may happen if it is a dog, "i told you the NF7 series sucked", as i close this post."
Ok then I will just calmly take it out and either buy another nf7 or put my kt400 back in. Ill sell the slower nf7. anyway since its a revision 2.0, I recon theres a pretty good shot at 200fsb and if I get lucky, 225fsb!
"hopefully, it will give you the ride i and many others have been on for quite some time already."
Will it eat a kt400 at same fsb? This is something I am dieing to know and I shall find out. everyone says the nf2 is faster than the kt400. do they mean at same fsb or only if you get the nf2 at a much higher fsb? I get 14.6k on 190fsb with kt400. Thatll be exciting if I break 15k at 190fsb, then imagine 225fsb. I might try for 16k :eek:
"personally, retail with warranty would have been my choice for about $40 more."
The one he sold me is new so it should have warrenty anyway
"but Ebay? from a much larger UNKNOWN black hole."
his 100% positive feedback is good assurance plus if that mobo overclocks like a dog I can resell it on ebay and get my money back easy and put my kt400 back in. I lose some time but at least I gain experience of having tried the nf2. so whats my odds of 225fsb assuming the ram does not bottleneck. also is it true the nf7-s can increase the northbridge voltage in the bios to 1.7?
"Yes, I also fear what garbage may be spread about the NF7 if he does in fact get a bad one."
I will not bash the nf2 even if I can not hit 200fsb. as long as it eats the kt400 at equal fsb, ill consider the nf2 faster. This will be interesting.
"Oh, and T-Bird, you have Corsair Value, how can you expect 225FSB at teh timings you love?"
look whos talking with his pc2100 kingston at 215fsb.......ill be darned if my ram was a dog and didnt do at least 225fsb :mad:
"he hasn't been doing his homework. i run mine @11, as per numerous postages, just no hassle there."
I will run 11 if I have to, but I want good timings to greatly improve performance. heck my kt400 mobo the worst timings the bios gives you is 3-3-3-7-t2 and this costs me 600 marks over 2-2-2-6-t1 which is the best timings. 3-4-4-11-t2 would cost me like 1200 marks or something :eek: I want no worse than 2-2-2-6-t1 timings
"and that ram, fingers crossed.....................especially dual channel."
I have one stick and it will run single channel, dual does next to nothing but hurt fsb overclock.
"Nowhere in the description does it refer to the board as an "S" version. That shouldn't affect overclockability though."
it has onboard sound, so I think its an nf7-s :D
