Abit NF7-S L12 Mod for high FSB!! And rev 2.0 info.

[Richdog]

Just been over to NforcersHQ and apparently due to the fact that many users of this board havent been able to hit over 185 Mhz FSB with a 333Mhz CPU someone found a way of "fooling" the motherboard to think it is using a 266Mhz CPU and attain STABLE FSB's of 200-220! All you do is cut the L12 Bridge, no more no less.

And also, the upcoming revision 2.0 board will have "official" support for Barton, but previous revisions will also receive "official" status via a BIOS update, so owners of 1.0 and 1.2 worry not!

Hope this is useful to someone, havent got an NF7-S yet but getting one in next week or so and this mod may come in handy.

What about the 512MB PC2700 Crucial memory problem! Are they getting that worked out?

Where can I find a walkthrough (with photos maybe?) on how to cut L12 bridge. Is it difficult? As great Dirty Harry once said: A Man should know his limitations. I know mine - I have two left hands when it comes to physical labor so I'm kind of worried I'll screw up my new Barton
