I havnt seen a NF7-S rev2 that doesnt do at least 221MHz.

jjmd · Dec 11, 2003, 06:36 PM

Yes that board will do 400 fsb, Next dont waste your money on the 3000 get the 2500 Barton $86.00 oem, $91.00 Retail with heatsink. As it will do 3200 and more with easy. Heres the link to it.

the 2500s arnt unlocked anymore, it will be more difficult to get it to run that high.

jjmd · Dec 11, 2003, 06:45 PM

No prob this is what i did to unlock mine. Very easy and dosen't void the warrenty. Take a look

Mods you should sticky this on unlocking Bartons!!!!!!!! It works great.

thats not for post week 40 bartons. anything before week 40 is unlocked.

~~craig588~~ · Dec 11, 2003, 06:51 PM

no need to repost this, just use your other one.

jjmd · Dec 11, 2003, 06:53 PM

whats the difference, they say this trick unlocks any multiplyer on any AMD Barton Chip. But maybe not?

kelticknight · Dec 11, 2003, 06:54 PM

just e-mail supplier,couldn't advice me,checked motherboard manual,doesn't say what will happen if l install the 3000+ 400 mhz fsb,was trying to get 3200+,hard to get

~~craig588~~ · Dec 11, 2003, 06:54 PM

have you seen a post week 40 barton? they have a completely redisigned PCB. They cant be unlocked. I know a guy on another forum that took a sander and completely went though the layers, and none of the traces lead up to where the multis are conrolled.

Your NF7-S should be able to pull this easily. my weakest board does this speed. (I have tried 4 boards)

O if you still have that link Craig put it up. i would like to read that. Thanks Buddy. And man that stinks!!!! No more cheap 3200'S

I dont want to find the exact page, but its somewhere in here:http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showth...0&pagenumber=1

jjmd · Dec 11, 2003, 07:07 PM

Thanks, dont blame you. I'll look for it.

kelticknight · Dec 11, 2003, 07:24 PM

is it safe to install the 3000+ 400mhz fsb on the motherboard whick supports up to 333 mhz fsb,whats worst that can happen,or am l worring for notthing

~~craig588~~ · Dec 11, 2003, 07:28 PM

worst that happens is you fry the mobo and chip and a few things in the PCI/AGP slots. (Happened with an asus A7V133)

your worrying for nothing. you have a NF7-S rev2. As I said before, even the crappiest one I found did 221MHz.

I have a a7n8x (nforce 2), and my motherboard didn't support 400mhz, but after a bios updateit did, perhaps you can update your bios too, because if you don't your motherboard wont recognice the processor. And aren't the xp3000+ with a fsb of 333mhz?

kelticknight · Dec 12, 2003, 12:02 PM

3000+ comes in 333 fsb and 400 fsb,anway told by abit l have get faster ram,mine is pc2100 ddr,need pc3200 ddr with 400
