nf7-s arrived

~~shai~~ · Mar 30, 2003, 06:03 PM

me too i hope a sk7 with a tornado vantec(rpm turned down at nights with vantec speed thing panel(yes its cool and great looking and doesnt cost much)) performs well
how do you think it'll perform

shuki · Mar 30, 2003, 08:29 PM

achieved my goal!! 210fsb stable.

xp2100 (stock speed of 1.73Ghz) @ 1.87v 210x11 for 2.31Ghz
2x256 kingston hyperX pc3500 @ 2.85v with 2 2-5-2 - man what a bargain at $77 each from newegg!!
nf7-s with vdd mod - 1.6v @ 1.9v

pics and benches coming soon

and can I just say.... 210 is faaaaaaast!!

~~shai~~ · Mar 30, 2003, 09:12 PM

try lower timings shuki
you have good mem there

shuki · Mar 30, 2003, 09:30 PM

LOL its rated at 218 with 2 4-8-4. I've already got it at 2-5-2 I think thats plenty fast

~~shai~~ · Mar 30, 2003, 09:45 PM

its rated at that for 2.5 v isnt it
your using 2.85

slots 1 and 2 NON dual channel

same speed dual channel

205 non DC mem and 2k3 bench

205 dual channel

and finally 210 mem bench non DC

210 dual channel

shuki · Mar 30, 2003, 10:45 PM

conclusion is don't buy a new nforce mobo on the "dual channel" PR hype... its a JOKE!!!

toddsmack2k · Mar 31, 2003, 03:08 PM

Really Awesome!! I am glad for ya shuki!

Necrosis · Mar 31, 2003, 03:35 PM

In theory it's a great idea and would be even better if the processor could make use of the extra bandwidth. Hence, right here is the reason I haven't bought an extra ram stick. You tell me Shuki..is it really worth it???

IMO, the AMD dual channel memory is a joke. its very weak at best. if that is the reason for buying the next gen board don't waste your money. For me though, I needed a locked off AGP for my 9700 pro which hates anything over 180. Which to me is just way too slow....

edit - and todd, thanks!

nforce is good for its efficenty its better then kt400A without using duel
however alot of companies have started selling "hand picked" mem for duel and i think thats a joke realy
and they cost more then the normal ones of course

shuki · Mar 31, 2003, 09:17 PM

well, essentially AMD wanted to try and compete with intel in the dual channel mem arena. While intel has it goin' on AMD is quite lacking in the area.... IMO, dual channel AMD is a joke... Nvidia boats "100%" increase on their dual channel mobos and that is just plain and simple PR hype lies. I've got the benches to prove it. 205 slots 1 & 2 (NON DC) gives 3091/2906 sandra mem bench. 205 slots 2 & 3 (DC) only yields 3157/3002. You do the math....

~~shai~~ · Mar 31, 2003, 09:32 PM

i think its good becuse it got you over 3000 mem

shuki · Mar 31, 2003, 10:02 PM

shai, I was over 3000 mem on me kx7.... and if you notice above, I'm over 3k now without DC too

it is NOT the dual channel that get us over 3000 mem...

~~shai~~ · Mar 31, 2003, 10:55 PM

i saw it but you were getting lower scores in 3dmark becuse of cpu speed right

Vampyromaniac · Mar 31, 2003, 11:23 PM

I never understood what all the excitement was over having dual-channel on an AMD board.
Heck, even if you had memory running at dual-1000MHz, you're still limited by AMD's 333MHz (stock) FSB.
All dual-channel does, is add a tiny bit of efficiency.

The only place dual-channel actually helps is on boards with integrated video,
but hey, how many members here use that?

PS: Great job hitting 210

shuki · Apr 1, 2003, 12:31 AM

thanks vampyr!!!

actually hit 225

still dual channel!

Vampyromaniac · Apr 1, 2003, 02:54 AM
