can i have it

[mattesca]

i dont think so

If I were you, I would definatly consider putting a shroud in between that sp-97 and the fan! See the overhang from the fan there? a shroud will take that wasted air and shove it all through the fins of your heatsink. Probably lower temps a bit, which allows for a higher OC.

[mattesca]

we will keep that in mind

Alright!!

Got the NF7-S and the mobile 2400XP working good.

1.35Vcore, 1800Mhz, 35C

Dont the Abit boards supposedly show the temps like 10C higher then they really are?

Everythings working great so far!

No, they don't.
In fact, the temp you are seeing is the socket temp as the Abit will not access the on-chip diode, so your CPU temp is prolly on the order of 5-10C higher than that.

Congratulations though.

Why dont they access the on die temp then...I always thought abit reported higher temps then real...i guess its actually lower...so i guess like 50C should be our limit when OCing?

Actually, the Abit does access the Winbond 83.....(I forget the actual number) on-board diode, but it reserves access for itself.
That diode is where your thermal warnings and shuttdown temps come from, but it blocks third party apps ( MBM5) from accessing the same reading.
If you run the MBM5 Setup Wizard you'll notice that your CPU temp is set to Winbond 2, which is the thermistor in the socket base.

I hope you checked the thermistor position before you installed the chip.
It is not always sticking up far enough to make good contact with the CPU die and that can give you wonky readings.

I didnt see a thermister...never have lol but I aint taking that damned sp-97 off again..it will be fine...I guess

Is it bad to take the heatsink off and then reapply without putting new thermal paste on?

Also, we noticed the Abit had the square plug used for P4 boards usually...should we attach that?

ya.

actually, what is it even for i thought it provided the processor voltage. (after the motherboard scales it down a few volts).
