good luck with that man. its risky. I haven't even updated my bios as i don't have a working floppy drive in my pc. So without a bootable disk i can't at the moment. Ah well i'll wait till i get my OCz ram and we'll see how she goes.

Using the good ol' Volcano 12 + as5, highest clock is 2.5g ....Why don't you use the Abit flashmenu it downloads straight from the Abit site or from a stored file on your pc to update your bios ...you can download it from the Abit site

i've never flashed a bios before. I just heard it can be a bit risky. What exactly would i have to do after downloading Flashmenu? download the bios update i want to use and then what?

Abits flashmenu does it all for you, you run it in windows click the update bios tab, it downloads the latest bios from Abit verifys it all restarts your pc and all is well, alternativly you can download a modded bios (tic tac/mantray) to file and click the load bios from file tab, select the file and off it goes and installs the updated modded bios...the only way to find out if it makes any difference to o.c'in is to try it...generally the abit ones are very good if you want a modded bios let me know and i'll supply you the site address

Hi ppl,
Good to hear some success from you getting some good numbers with the oc's. My 2800 is long gone but when pushing my XP2500-M barton I always test with prime as I need the maths form the chip to work. This is critical also since it ensures you will not corrupt files you save back to harddisk - XP can become damaged.
Prime95 is for serious maths, but has good/excellent built in 'stress testing', that when you install the program you select instead of the prime number research. When you run the program for testing you go into 'Options' then goto 'Torture Test'
There are 4 selections.
I use the first since I really want to kill the overclock if its bad with FPU. Usually its not a good idea to push to the thermal limit anyway for 2 obvious reasons: 1 because you can burn and 2 it will not be stable. Some people notice high FSB instability so selection 2 is good for that.
If you are worried about FSB then do some memtests.
I had my chip at 2.7ghz with some basic water cooling, but I noticed my PSU was under load and it buckled. Use the motherboard monitor for voltage checking.

sweet i got my rig stable at 200. im pushin 2.9V into the ram, 2.75V into the cpu (its @2505.7Mhz) Just doin some tests and gaming to make sure it is stable. I did a run of Aquamark 3 and got a score of 50,977 Which is a personal best for me. This ram is really hurting my pc tho...i need some descent stuff. What do u guys think?

after testing i've found it was only stable for the Aquamark 3 run. So im back down to 198 again. Im running a 2800+@2475Mhz, generic pc2700 ram, NF7-S Revision 2.0 mobo, Radeon 9800xt (can't/Won't overclock), Antec TrueBlue 470W PSU, 160GB Seagate SATA HDD. Then i run 5 Case fans. A Vantec PCI Spectrum Fan card to cool the gfx and a thermalright Sp-97? i think, with a 92mm CPU fan

Josh2800. Hey that Must be a typo. 2.75 volts into that processor? You're on about 1.75 V right?
Hey both of you can I ask you to do something - Jonnie also? Could you use motherboard monitor 5.3.7 and use the high/low Vcore info and post the results over resonable use (4 hrs or more?)
I am interested in a new PSU for my NF7-Sv2 and the trueblue sounds reasonable.

All it seems to do is just monitor. Is there something else? BTW, I've tried and tried to OC my 2800 with no luck. I throw in my Sempron 3000+ and I OC it on the first try. FSB 200, 2.4Ghz. Stable. Go figure.
