on a NF7-S v2
- CPU FSB/DRAM ratio (what should i set, it's at 3/3 at the mo)
CPU Interface (Turned off at the mo)
- Enhance PCI Performance on or off ? (off at the mo)
CPU Disconnect Function on or off (off at the mo)
Can any one point out what these features do and would it be best if they where on/off ?

CPU FSB/DRAM ratio (what should i set, it's at 3/3 at the mo)
You want to run in a 1:1 ratio as yours is.
Personally I run 6:6 as I'm over 200fsb but if yours is happy at 3:3 great.
The figures supposedly relate to multiples of the PCI bus clock (e.g. 6x33.333 = 200) but I don't think it's critical.
CPU Interface (Turned off at the mo)
You want this enabled if you can.
It affects the CPU's ability to access memory & makes a significant difference in performance.
Enhance PCI Performance on or off ? (off at the mo)
Not sure - as i don't use any PCI card I have disabled
CPU Disconnect Function on or off (off at the mo)
Allows for a lower cpu temp when idle - I have enabled but some people says it affects your overclock.
Cheers i'll give them 2 a blast later on and see what happens :)
Are you sure? There'll be devices onboard the motherboard that use the PCI bus...Quote:

The general recommendation (& default) is off for better stability when overclocking.Quote:

CPU Disconnection Function should be disabled, it's been directly linked to sound issues with SoundStorm, crackling, cutting out etc... a statement was made on the nForcersHQ forums by an NV respresentative directing nForce2 owners not to use the feature.
Oh well, works fine for me with no crackling etc. but ymmv.Quote:

Also, disable any ports you don't use. I disable the printer port and the COM ports, i just do it for good measure, perhaps it's less for the POST to test?
Not using sound storm, got it on at the mo and the comp feels fine ! :)Quote:

This was on my asus A7N8X-Dlx v1.06 not my new NF7-S v2 (which I havent even used the analogue ports on!)
GK
Poster was Seawolf, would stress when i did have it enabled it never caused issues for me either just advised to have it disabled from someone who knows what they're talking about.
