I'm quite sure the problem lies with the chip.
After setting my bios settings, the system rebooted and the settings where flashed into the bios. On that moment the psu crapped out on me, leaving my board unusable...

I tested all other components, CPU and mem still work. When i try to boot the board, i get error code F2. This points directly to the bios.

The board also ran at acceptable speeds and voltages.
  • * NB 1.6V @ 200 MHz
    * vcore 1.625 V @ 2500MHz
    * vmem 2.9 V @ 1/1 2-3-2-11
    * AGP 1.6 V

got an NF7-S for sale here.

The mobo itself is prolly broken (changed it because it only accepted 1 stick of 256MB RAM, but dur0n tested it last week and it seemed to work with 1 stick of 512MB so maybe with 2 stick too)

the point is, the bios chip is still fine. I knew someone who wanted to buy it 2 weeks ago for €25 (whole mobo) but now it seems he doesn't respond.

So I still got it for sale.

I was more thinking in the lines of you letting me hotflash my chip on it...

Maybe i can buy it to, but i'll have to test it first.
