Well guyz, you asked for it, you got it ! 2.6Ghz and climbing!

w00t!!

I'm gonna let her burn in a while and go for the 2.7Ghz, hee hee !

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 11:40 pm

Not very impressive :2cool:

...or is it?

I want to see 2.7Ghz by the end of the day. Remember that this is a tough crowd to please!

Excellent work, of course your going to give me the bios settings when I upgrade? *wink wink nudge nudge*

wow that nice 13x20:D i'm working on my setup like now oh well hope i can run 12.5x200 lol

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 11:56 pm

Shaggy, for your insolence it will cost you double for my settings and tweaks!

Just have the cold ones ready !

Thanx deks. With a lttle patience you'll get up there too. Just remember this board doesn't like the bios adjustments all at once. You have to do one thing only, then reboot. If you do it all at once, she won't boot and you'll have to reset cmos all the time.

I caught on to her little trick after 4 tries lol

deksecurity · Post by **deksecurity** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 11:59 pm

now you talking LT thanks. look like i have to pick up a RAID card tomorrow it just not da same with RAID . and after that over clock time lol

Reminds me...you get my box, Dino??

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:09 am

I don't have watercooling, but a vlocano 7+ should get me close. Wanna put this corsair to good use!

I'll go ahead and get the drinks...whats your brand?

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:14 am

You're most welcome deks

Hey Burke, yes, yes i did ! Muchas gracias !!

Not sure if that V7+ will get you close shaggy. Unless you have really great airflow thru your box, you might get a nice oc tho. Give it a shot and see how high you can get

Massa · Post by **Massa** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:15 am

Yeah LT .. since im getting your H20 setup, i think ill be getting the same mobo (for OCing sake)

LOL

Nice man whens 2.8 coming?

later

Massa

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:25 am

Gracias massa

Dunno about the 2.8 unless i go vapo or prometeia and i'm not going that route. Maybe way down the line sometime, who knows. I know Tigress won't let me have anymore toys for a while after this, LOL

Godd Luck on the H20 setup. LMK the results.

deksecurity · Post by **deksecurity** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:31 am

i just flash to new bios 1.6 i'm done for to night tomorrow after got my RADI card it time to over clock. watch out LT i'm on my way lol (j/k) and boy this abit NF7-S v1.2 rock man...

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:43 am

Kewlness!! LMK how that new bios werks out. I'm still using the factory 15's.

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 8:31 pm

well i have some bad news from LT-73, seems as though his bios chip exploded and he is in the process of reinstalling his old mobo and reformating right now

he ain't real happy right about now, but he did make me laugh on the phone, also i think he may have formated his backup dive by mistake.

said he will be on here in a few hours so be sure to razzz him some

deksecurity · Post by **deksecurity** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 9:03 pm

man that sad..i guess i wait for over clock then but i will move fsb up to 166

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 9:06 pm

I'm with you LT! I fried my BIOS chip too! But its too embarassing to tell why

I am running an epox 7kxa and a athlon 800. Waiting for a ribbon cable from bestbyte to RMA the whole package.

deleted_acct · Post by **deleted_acct** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 9:11 pm

Damn LT!! Not suprised I know u da man and always making it higher and higher! Maybe one day when i start over clocking i could be like u.

Duzmor · Post by **Duzmor** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 9:24 pm

I bet this what happen - Abit has a Jumper by the upper fan header - That will fix the Bios Problem - But the new Bios is not out as of yet !!!

Duz !!

ohh man that stinks

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Thu Mar 13, 2003 12:16 am

Well I'm back, but I'm not happy. I dunno what the hell happend. Nebulous was running perfect. Not overheating or anything. I was watching a DVD then i got this weird message similar to a BSOD, then it tried to reboot amd just hang. I hit reset, rechecked evrything over and hit F10. When it rebooted, i heard a pop my screen goes dead and i smell the all to familiar burnt circuitry odor. I checked evrything with a fine toothed comb and saw the bios chip and it's socket. The dam chip exploded and the socket that holds the chip has disintegrated. There's some kind of colorful 3d sticker on the bios chip, and it's burnt. Looks like it's all bubbled up after it burned.

My new board is dead within 48 hours

This is the 3rd Abit that's died on me. I've had enough with Abit. I'm sending this pos back and get a refund or go with the Epox 8RDA+.

I put my 8K3A+ back. I managed to take off the crystal orb from the NB and attach my waterblocks. After formatting and installing most drivers, I started my clocks. With the NB watercooled, I got a nicer oc. I'll post a screenie soon.

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Thu Mar 13, 2003 12:17 am

Here ya go:

Almost 2.6Ghz. I'll keep trying and see if i can get it.

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Thu Mar 13, 2003 12:22 am

That sucks. But I've always liked my epox better than my abit.

My abit is broken too. BIOS problem. So I have my epox in right now.

Wait a damn second. Isnt that really ironic wouldn't you say?

great pc users **** up alike?

to abits defense, they dont intend teh board to be under the stress u put on it. and it didnt just die, u did bring it to the edge

if it wasnt meant to be put under that kinda stress why the heck would they give you all those options to do that?

the bios chip shouldnt blow up because he pushed it 'to the edge' yes its running out of spec, but to say that it wasnt intended to be ran out of spec is outrageous

ocers are probably their biggest customer

ecsk7s5a, now thast a board not meant to be oced

and i dont think abits customers are mostly ocers

Hey Yos, I did'nt even get to the 'edge' as you so put it. 13x200 @ 1.92vcore and 2.9vdimm is not going to the edge. Ontop of that, my temps were:

cpu- Idle 25c, full load-29c
NB-21c

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a lot more than goes into overclock thresholds than cpu and northbridge temps.

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Thu Mar 13, 2003 7:56 pm

Bob, what else? The Pci/agp is locked so there's no oc there meaning the Agp, Pci, HDD's cdroms is still in spec.

Only 2 things are oc'ed; cpu clock and memory clock.

What have i missed?

Hmm, maybe I'll do some reading later and see what turns up

I know what you're going through. I had 5 ABIT KT7A's die on me. I got sick of them, and went to MSI. Never looked back

Jstyr · Post by **Jstyr** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 7:09 am

I've always loved my A-bits...then again I don't overclock them

A-Bits are supposed to run beyond spec...if your temps were fine and your cooling system working properly the only other explanation would be a power surge.

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 10:47 am

LOL, you guyz sure know how to cheer a guy up! For all you (ugh) intel-ites that don't believe in the awsome power of the AMD force, check this out:

Cpu temps went down today. 39c full load

The Nebulous Lives !!!!!!

Now who's yo daddy????

lol LT sorry about your NF7-S now i'm at 11.5x200 and that all i will be at unto new bios come out .. then i'm happy it with.

LT-73 · Post by **LT-73** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 4:37 pm

Niiiice dek !!! You'll get more if you switch cooling on that NB

2.3Ghz oc is most impressive! Congrats bro!
