Question Abit NF7-S v2

[Noid]

My NF7-2 V2 still boots.
Still has the Mobile 2400 oc'd @ 205 x 11.5 = 2350 - 1.65v
Resurrected today from shoe box storage.
I found everything I needed - but an IDE cable --- LOL
Abit website is there, but not functional.

RIP Abit ?

I was right there with you!

Those molex connectors, ugh. I'm surprised that didn't burst into flames.

I never had one burst into flames. LOL

Never. But how many HDDs got shorted, I know some of mine did....

OMG .. the heat in that case ... heh
That box looks very similar to the Antec tower I still have.
( not now thou, we dont need hard drive bays anymore, mine are gone )

Some of mine did also, esp. with the splitters. None of the one's I received were made well.

Oh well that's much better. Heh.

My IC7-G was the best board I ever owned.

Followed closely by my various DFI LanParty boards.

I've got a working Abit Socket A motherboard.

 

[Joe NYC]

That brings me back!

That brings me back to Abit BP6 dual CPU motherboard, running with 2 Celeron 300 overclocked to 450 MHz. A sweet set up for the time...

I killed a NF-7 (non S) just a month before Xmas with one of the voltage mods i did, was too careless when tuning the potentiometer



I need to buy another NF-7 (this time an S version) for my retro collection, but the ones ive found on eBay (same seller) wants over 100$ which I am not prepared to pay.

Ideally would like to find a DFI Infinity/Lanparty SocketA, but have yet to come across one anywhere

My new IDE cables arrive Sunday ( yea ,,, stop laffn at me )
I think I still have my last OS system images hopefully, and just a simple
system restore ahead.

If not .. do you want me to DM you about acquiring my system ?
( VidCard, DDR, HSF units, and the 2400 chip - the DDR is stable to 210 FSB )

PITA --- no old images - I deleted them --- But ...

Success !
Luckily I had a w2k SP3 disk. Had to find the SP4 rollup, and the SP4 rollups.
Net framework 2.0 requires MS installer 3.1 ( yup had to find them )
both were required to install the ATi Catalyst drivers 6.5.

All that depended on the nForce USB drivers, that would not install without SP4 security rollup for SP4.

Needless to say, IE only connects to non SS. So I had to shuffle the required files from my W10 setup to the USB drive, then to the NF7-S

All devices installed ! No yellow warning in the device manager.

Will be installing my favorite 32bit games later

Get your files now ---- they are very hard to find.
( MS has deleted connections from their knowledge base to the file servers )

Phil'scomputerlab uses Snappy Driver Installer quite frequently. https://sdi-tool.org/ Just an FYI in case you were not familiar with it.

Wow.... thank you for this, never heard of it before but looks legit.

He just did a skt754 Sempron review using it. Video is set to play at the time he is using it. I enjoyed the whole vid myself.

My ancient Sony IDE CD drive failed. lolz
No games, or backup images until a new one.
( can't believe they are still 30 bucks )

Damn, and I had plans to play Quake 1 on my 65 inch TV, and home theater.

BTW, I found a library full of nForce driver releases
( and some custom sets I saved )

[edit]
I connected a SATA DVD drive to a converter to USB temporarily

Q1 would not install on winnt x32 (needed FAT), But, Quake II did !
Q2 also recognized OpenG/L on the ATi card.

I'm good to lay my shoebox NF7-S on the lining room table for some retro gaming.

 

[Noid]

Not your ordinary NF7-S v2 or ATi xt850
( looking for my ATi O/C notes - I know I have modified BIOS )
Like my start button ?
