NF7-S V2 & 2500 Mobile

[Guest]

I just got a new NF7-S V2 (using BIOS 23) and a 2500 Mobile Athlon (code
AQYHA)

The BIOS reports the processor as "unknown CPU type". Is this normal?

Set it to run 11x200 at 1.65V, which it does without problem!

Hi Andy -

It's normal. The BIOS isn't coded to recognize mobile chips and they must
be manually set up (FSB and multiplier, as you have done).

Top man Jef - I suspected as much, but its nice to confirm.

Nah, that's easy...try getting it above that.

Do you have confidence in your power supply?

If you go down to 166 FSB and kick the voltage up (consuming large
amounts of power from psu) - it should be definitely be stable.

Bastard! lol

I said that because I have a locked 2500+ that is from hell.

Yes it's an Antec True 330. Maybe a little bit weak, but I don't think so. I
have actually measured the vcore and all seems fine even over 2 volts.
