About LinkBacksIs it worth plugging in the extra 12v (P4 type) plug off my PSU into the board as well as the main plug? It's a little bit in the way if I do, but I wanted to know if it helps stability at all or is just a failsafe.

It will work without it as i was using it like that, but i was advised to plug both in as it gives a more stable 12v line.

If I get some spiral wrap or similar (maybe some UV stuff) then I might do it, it's just a bit unsightly.... If only I'd never got a windowed side-panel, makes you think too much about what it looks like!
Just a shame NF7's layout isn't a little better, and that NB fan is way too loud and of really crappy quality (v2.0 at least).
Tell me about it, those NB are really carp, damn thing means i have to be without a decent computer for a whileOriginally posted by Austin
Would a passive zalman NB cooler be sufficient on the nf7-s v2.0 ?

I've got one on my old mobo - but I'm not going to experiment yet (you know how these things go with me Ice Kay, normally pop).

Depends how far you wanna push it with oc'ing etc.Originally posted by Ice Kay

Do you reckong it'd be ok at 204FSB (that's the max I can do with my chip)?
Bruno
IMHO definitely. A good passive solution cools just as well as a small active solution, the diff in noise is well worth a drop to 400FSB anyway (if you needed to) ... many 400FSB capable nForce2 use only a passive solution and that's probably inferior to a Zalman esp if you apply it nicely.
I've got one on my old mobo - just need to get the courage to swap it over. I've had a bit of bad luck with a couple of motherboard before..... I'll post a pick of the last one when I get home.
