    Abit An7

    Overall I'm left slightly deflated by the AN7 experience. It's not a bad board by any means, it just has some annoying niggles that stop it from rating really highly. Recommended for the hardcore tweaker, everyone else should maybe look elsewhere. High end Socket A performance for sure but with a little baggage to carry around.

    I enjoyed that review - very indepth and thorough. Couple of broken linkies, however:

    "Southbridge NVIDIA MCP2-T" from the Abit AN7 page:
    http://img.hexus.net/abitan7/images/mcp-t.jpg

    "Alternate AbitEQ screenshot (~40KB)" from the Overclocking and Conclusion page:
    http://img.hexus.net/abitan7/images/abiteq4.jpg


    Also, the link to the digital camera used is to a komplett page (in the Overclocking and Conclusion section, again). Komplett don't allow linkies, so it just takes the clickerguy to the frontside of their site. So perhaps that could be replaced with the Make+Model of the camera, plus a link to the komplett site. Just a though :>

    Still, a lovely read when one has developed the flu and has been awake all night due to the usual annoying sleeping problems

    Can Ryszard please tell me where i can get a Lanparty Rev B for a similar price to an AN7? There is something like £25 difference between them which is over a 30% difference in cost.

    You can't adjust voltages from within Windows on any other Socket A motherboard other than the AN7

    using nVidia system utility, the ABIT nvsuoem.ini & BIOS20 or later you can change voltages in Windows on an NF7-S V2.0 too.

    Very nice review indeed.

    You say the board got to 241fsb. Do you know if that was with 'CPU Interface' enabled or disabled?

    Thanks

    The 3d test comparisons are pretty much redundant - complete waste of time comparing the systems when you used a 5900U in the AN7 and a 9800xt in the other 2, I know this is mentioned, but really what's the point? This isn't a graphics card review, I think you should pull the review until it's been done properly. Go and do it again!
    Wise old man won't you help me please? My house is a squash and a squeeze.

    We won't pull it, the conclusions are all valid. The very fact it isn't a graphics card review means we can get away with it.

    I'll update with 9800XT numbers when my card arrives

    Thanks for reading.

    Rant over, I look forward to reading it.

    BTW it's not every day you give up smoking after 20 years.

    Come and have a look at this thread then? Maybe you can help some others with your giving up techniques!

    You deserve a medal, I've been trying to get my dad to give up recently and he genuinely puts the effort in and it lasts a while, but then something makes him give in again. It's definitely a hard thing to do
