Now its time for number 3

~~craig588~~ · Nov 2, 2003, 03:27 PM

My dad just killed my 2nd NF7-S rev 2 board, just like he did my last one. Now I'm getting a 3rd one.

This newest board is rather interesting because newegg has a "new" NF7-S board that always has the ultra 400 chip on it, it also has ALOT more capacitators. Might this be a rev 2.1?

My new board I'm getting

My old one

~~craig588~~ · Nov 2, 2003, 03:29 PM

Acctually on closer inspection it doesn't look like it has more, they just seem rearanged.

Nah, it defiantly has more, also alot of them are alot bigger too. This is getting me really excited!

That looks identical to mine

Window's recognises my motherboard as "NF7-S V2.X" - dunno if that X is different to any of u guys - will just grab a screeny.

~~craig588~~ · Nov 2, 2003, 04:47 PM

where do you find that? I have never had windows tell me anything about my mobo revision.

tastyweat · Nov 2, 2003, 04:51 PM

Here it is... I dunno if this "X" means nething

sry - I meant 3dmark - both 01se and 03 say the same thing in the readout - both say "2.X"

~~craig588~~ · Nov 2, 2003, 04:53 PM

Oh, well in 3dmark mines a 2.x also. I never knew it could look that information up.

tastyweat · Nov 2, 2003, 04:56 PM

ok

BWX · Nov 3, 2003, 06:02 PM

It looks like it has at least one more Cap. on there- The one by the Northbridge chip is now over by the other ones, plus one more..

I just bought an NF7 last month- and got the redish one.. I wish they didn't go back to the puky brown color.

Hey, didn't you just mod your FSB fan? How dod your dad kill 2 mobo's??? What did he do? Come in your room and OC when you weren't looking? Spill water on it?

~~craig588~~ · Nov 3, 2003, 07:45 PM

1st time my dad knocked the computer off the desk and it stopped working, this time he dropped a running fan on it and the fan blades smacked it up.

Well I certainly don't hope that this is the new rev, because the mounting holes around the socket are gone, not that this is such a big thing, because that big ass Zalman cooler still won't fit, but the mounting holes were part of the rev 2.0 thing.

OMG THEY ARE!!!!! WTF is Abit doing!?!?!? That is very bad-- That's actually major news that should be in the main news section fro people to know about.. Nice find-- I was looking at the Caps. and didn't even see the holes were missing..

~~craig588~~ · Nov 3, 2003, 08:30 PM

I'm not gonna post anything untill I acctualy get the board. If its new, I'll post. (Maybe even write a review of a new board for DH)

~~craig588~~ · Nov 3, 2003, 09:18 PM

Well it was more by accident I found it, because I really wanted to have that silent Zalman cooler, so I was hoping that it would fit on this rev, but surprise surprise no mounting holes around the socket anymore

BWX · Nov 5, 2003, 12:22 AM

I'd tell my Dad to go build a deck and leave my PC alone...

~~craig588~~ · Nov 5, 2003, 10:53 PM

my new mobo arrived, and I just installed it. Its the same rev2 as always newegg just has a bad pic.

I dropped my cpu and mobo in the freezer for a minute.

~~Sourcer_2002~~ · Nov 5, 2003, 11:01 PM

Hmmm and then took it out and there was no condesation?

~~craig588~~ · Nov 5, 2003, 11:19 PM

I put it in a bag.

Judas · Nov 6, 2003, 12:54 AM

...actually... i have always had the thought of getting a mini fridge/freezer (upright)... and setting my pc in it......

~~craig588~~ · Nov 6, 2003, 01:05 AM

I did it with a celeron 300A. I brougt it to ~575MHz and ~100MHz FSB. (Godly back in the day)

Judas · Nov 6, 2003, 02:40 AM

that's pretty damn amazing.... i had a celron 333 (oldest)... slot 1..... i pump the sucker to 100mhz as well... it would sorta run stable... cool to.. (50*C was max when the small room has the door shut)... air cooling....stock... but i didn't have vcore settings.... so i ran 83mhz fsb..... 416mhz?
