Re: NF7-S V2.0 help

yes its the polyfuse for the firewire.
i have seen several burned up.
clean up the board and get a replacement from a scrap mobo.

just remove it for a test.clean the board up good so it doesnt arc on any carbon tracks that may have formed.
it will work ok without it.no firewire though.

Agree, it is really a great baord.

I have a customer he have fully capsmod this motherbaord, overclocked 2500+ to 2.3GHz, SuperPi 1M 40s with active heatsink fan.

Re: NF7-S V2.0 help

Sorry for the long delay. Unfortunately, my board doesn't have that particular component on it, so I can't give you the numbers. I originally purchased it from a member on the overclockers.com forum. After I couldn't get it to post properly, I put it in the junk board pile. Some months later, I purchased a PCI2 diagnostic post card, available from www.uxd.com, hoping that it would help me diagnose the problem. It didn't and I still have a dud. I did remove the 3300 caps from it, but then replaced them. If anyone wants a crack on it, I will charge the cost of shipping and that's it. Let me know.

Yeah nice except the 'fansink' was junk! replaced mine with a vantec IceberQ unit never looked back... miss it sometimes, but this 939 Neo2 is just as nice IMHO

> but this 939 Neo2 is just as nice IMHO

I'll second that - I have the same MSI S-939 board, and it's near perfect - especially the AGP 8x slot, which allows me reuse my old GeForcen. Also has support for the rapidly vanishing dual-core Opteron-1xx, which are probably the best value around. I'll admit that I'm tempted by the low-end Conroes, though.
