Es geht wieder einmal um das Abit NF7-S. Ich hab auch schon hier danach gesucht, aber nix in der Art gefunden. Deshalb hake ich nochmal nach:
Ich habe gelesen, dass die neue Crush18D Northbridge (die alten waren ja nur Crush17) arge Speicherprobleme bereitet. nVidia hat anscheinend nicht gut mit den Mainboardherstellern zusammen gearbeitet, so dass der Chipsatz sehr empfindlich und wählerisch bei den RAMs ist.
Der Abschnitt eines Artikels bei HardwareZone.com lautet wie folgt:
Nun lautet meine Frage: Ist das Abit NF7-S V2 auch davon betroffen?? Kann das jemand verifizieren??
Ich bitte um schnelle Antwort, da ich mir das Board vor kurzem bestellt habe und ich die besagten TwinMOS/Winbond CH-5 Riegel (2x512MB) besitze.
Wenn das Thema schonmal behandelt wurde tut es mir leid.

Der Abschnitt eines Artikels bei HardwareZone.com lautet wie folgt:
[...]However, NVIDIA had not coordinated well with motherboard manufactures in the incorporation of this new chipset revision into their existing boards. As a result, most motherboards based on this newer nForce2 revision ran into all sorts of stability problems when running at FSB400, DDR400 settings and that included the Soltek board as well. For some other boards, we even met with setbacks at FSB333, DDR333 settings.
The problem seems to stem at the chipset and BIOS level and is mostly concerning communication with memory. It is possible that the memory timings are not well synced or refined and consequently the boards are extremely choosy of the RAM modules they can work with reliably. What would work with one board, may not work on the other as we have found out with other nForce2 Ultra 400 boards. You might say that it was a game of trial and error as we constantly verified different brands of RAM modules with different memory timings and hoped that one would work reliably. If you would like to point fingers at someone for spoiling your nForce2 upgrade plans, it should be at NVIDIA. We do hope they put their act together quick and fix this issue with either another chip revision or BIOS codes that are optimized for the new chipsets to patch this issue.
For the Soltek board SL-75FRN2-L, only Samsung RAM modules worked flawlessly. All other pairs of RAM from Kingston (using Winbond BH5, CH5 chips), TwinMOS (also with Winbond BH5 chips), Kingmax and Corsair failed our stability tests. Certain system-level benchmarks worked fine but when it came to stressing the memory and AGP bus, such as in 3D Mark 2001SE, the board simply dropped out of the test loop pretty quickly. This pair of Samsung RAM modules may have been the ticket to operability on our Soltek test sample, but some other nForce2 Ultra 400 motherboards we had in possession did not take to the Samsung RAM well. These are our findings from sample boards sent to us, but it seems that the retail motherboards too face this problem but not to the extent as we were affected. Still, the problem exists and great caution should be taken with your retailer to allow you to swap with completely different memory modules should you find your board not functioning stable.[...]
