    Talking Just orderd my NEW NF7-S!

    I just ordered it guys! Now... A few questions. What kind of drivers are best for it, what should I be ready for?, are there any glitches I should be aware of?, what kind of hardware doesnt fare well on this mobo?, and other things?

    Thanks for your help again guys.

    Well done, you know that you've ordered the best

    1) Download the latest drivers from nvidia.
    2) You should be ready for the best socket a motherboard in the world
    3) Unless you got an early version (before v2.0), you should have no glitches.
    4) No hardware compatability problems that I've heard of.

    Hope that helps

    Oh and another quesetion... Lately, after I have added my new vid card and sound card, my computer monitor will turn off and turn back on. Also it will sometimes completely glitch up turning the monitor off then I have to restart or it will completely glitch up in games then I have to press the Off button or Restart button. Now I think this is a psu problem, because I have a very crappy atx 300watt brand. Now what i'm wondering is that since i'm getting this mobo with soundstorm I wont need the soundcard would I? Then if I didnt need the sound card, that would create less stress on the psu making it work a little better?

    Thanks guys.

    I soundcard is going to be about3 to 5 watt maximum, its not really going to take much load of it if its strugling now.
    The NF7-S is quite power hungy, my PSU is dieing (almost dead), crappy generic 400watt. I Need to get a new one.

    Its about quality on PSU's, a higher quality 300W is sometimes better than a cheap 450W.
