**Agent** · 09-09-2003, 05:50 PM

AMD = NF7-S

**Wombatwilson** · 09-09-2003, 05:57 PM

Doh sorry should have put that really

**Lexeus** · 09-09-2003, 06:40 PM

He's probably asking for P4, i would guess. As he would have seen the NF7-S sign hitting him in the face when he entered the forums

But me, i like my MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR

And i dont know what a P4 is

**bledd** · 09-09-2003, 11:33 PM

sorry, was in a rush when i posted earlier

this is gonna be for a mate -amd

cheers

Its not a NF7-S issue.

Update your audio driver from the 2.45 pack.

i own one, and the problems with sound in CS really piss me off

what problems? afiak theres only sound quality problems, mine are fixed by putting a heatsink on the southbridge - not sure but i recon increasing the northbridge voltage also does the south, causing it to get much hotter

Weird.... I've never come across any problems with the sound on my nf7-s..
It is a v2.0 though.. Is yours the same?

**Aaron** · 10-09-2003, 12:46 AM

How about the AT7-MAX2? 10 USB (6 USBv2.0) and 2 Firewire. AMD board, based on the KT400 chipset.

**BornEvil** · 10-09-2003, 02:49 AM

i was building a pc for a m8 consisting of a Abit KV7 (via kt600).

it is quite a good board tbh, not as overclockable as most nf2 boards but still nice cheap and stable.

it did not come with any firewire ports but there was firewire i/o headers on the board iirc

only in certain games.

CS in A3D mode for example.

will prolly go with the kt600..

Well, I had - and still have - sound corruption problems with my NF7-S v2.0 mobo when using my dvb-s tv card. It corrupts any digital sound (i.e. sound coming from wav, avi, game, etc) when you move a window around. Drag a normal window (notepad, IE, whatever) and listen to your sound go all horrible. Still haven't found out what causes it.

So, to return to your original question - whether it is or isn't an Abit specific issue, I still wouldn't buy one again considering all the main manufacturers now have released updated 200mhz capable mobos. They should be reliable and trouble-free whether you're overclocking or not.

Just my 2 pennies worth venting my anger
