Have you done the L12 mod ?

What bios are you using ?

Have you tried 11,3,3,2.5 mem timings ?

Obvious I know but some people want to know why they cant get XXXXMhz but havnt done their homework.

Is your board under or overvolting ? You say the volts are 1.8 vcore but CPUZ shows 1.8.
Found mine undervolts when priming and overvolts the mem by 0.07volts so 2.7 is actually nearly 2.8.

Bios is standard - never flasshed one in my life lol n00b!
L12 not done YET - need to find time

11,3,3,2.5 dunno if i have tried them exact timings are they best for nforce?

ram wont go over 208 ish

Timings of 11,,3,3,2.5 are supposed to be the optimum for the NF-7 S.
L12 mod good for getting higher FSB'S as it is supposed to relax some timings on the northbridge as it makes the bios think the default FSB is 166 instead of 133Mhz.
Read Baddass's guide, its very good at explaining what to do.
Suggest you try and flash your bios to a modded one. I flashed mine to D23 sub zero before i had even installed the hard drives.
It allowed my Kingston Hyper x 3200 to go straight in at 210 FSB
You can either flash it in DOS or through windows using Flashmenu.
If you do it in windows make sure you use version 1.20 as its the most stable.

Thanks for the help

have used badass guide

i know i should flash the bios but you know the first time is always the worst, dont want to break something that is working if ya catch my drift!

im sure after the first time i do one it will be fine

If you flash it using Flashmenu, go into the bios first and reset all settings to default or optimum. DONT flash it using overclocked settings.
Ive had one or two heart in mouth moments when it looked like things had gone pete tong.

 

[IceAx]

lol
well cpu wouldnt boot at a standard settings
comes up 600mhz but 200FSB lol

i dont think ill flash just yet maybe in a while need to get a cheapo mobo to have some water fun with looking at the NF7 v1 on ocuk for cheap money

version 1 has problems with stability @ 400fsb

 

[FreeStream]

Coming up on the sunny side of 2.6GHz hopefully (200x13 @ 1.76V min (1.85V BIOS)

SS when prime has done 6 hrs - and dont say thats not enough, im gonna give it MS FS 2004 as im bored.

Here's mine fellas

What qualifies as MAJOR overclocking? ie 20% clock, 30%?

On my 2.4b p4 i got it at 3.1 ghz... which is obviously not a major overclock, but i plan on overclocking my new 2.6c chip when it arrives to about 3.6 if i can... is that a major overclock?

 

[=D.N.A=]

mightynimrod, thats an impressive overclock you have there, is that socket 754?

A 1 gig overclock is pretty MAJOR in my books

mobile 2600, IQYHA stepping.

cooled with aerocool high tower, idle 39, load 45 (room to push it when i get some time )

2 X 512 3200 Geil ultra @ 2.8v

NF7 /S v2

may get watercooling and really push the boat out

is stable BTW

 

[Skree]

thoroughbred b xp-1600 (1333mhz..or is it 1400? never really tried it at stock) @ 9.5x247 (2352) 1.775v

it's seti and prime stable at these speeds, any further and the crappy vcore regulation on this infinity makes it crash under prime but not seti

must mod the mobo. getting a barton mobile soon

EDIT: Watercooled, Infinity Ultra 400, 2x256mb BH-5 @ CAS2 2-2-2-11

 

[pompeyboy]

later when i get home ill post my 3400+ @ 3ghz ,got to upload screenie to my site. Im working on getting it stable at 3ghz
