Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., March 20th, 2003-
The BH7 is a next generation motherboard for Intel CPUs
with Hyper-Threading
Technology. Only ABIT provides Intel users with 6-channel sound and S/PDIF
IN/OUT as a standard feature for improved audio performance and video encoding.
Plus, the BH7 is capable of supporting future 800Mhz FSB processors (UNOFFICIAL
support only). The BH7 is a low cost, but with unmatched overclocking ability
and support future Intel 800Mhz FSB processors.
Here's what Hexus says about this break-through board:
"You may be wondering why ABIT has decided to launch yet another i845PE-based
motherboard so close to the unveiling of the Springdale and Canterwood
offerings. A quick look at the specifications will tell you that it's another
reasonably featured motherboard that will sit alongside the present MAX series.
But it's a little more than just a standard i845PE board. The name is a nod
towards a legendary ABIT motherboard in the BH6; that should give you some idea
of its unique qualities.
The BH7 is aimed squarely at those interested in pushing their components to the
absolute limit. If you paid close attention to the specifications, the BH7
purportedly supports the upcoming 800FSB Pentium 4 CPUs through the use of a 6:1
FSB-to-PCI divider (as well as a fix option). 200FSB, quad-pumped, is an
impressive claim for an i845PE motherboard, so how is ABIT able to guarantee
that? Using a 4-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller is a start. This
allows for less voltage fluctuation than the standard 3-phase controllers used
on some motherboards, naturally.
As usual, the CPU retention bracket is littered with capacitors. The BH7 uses a
bank of Rubycon MBZ 3300uF capacitors for better voltage regulation, again - a
must when we have a possible 3GHz+ of pure clock speed to look after.
The fact that it POSTed and tried to load at 230FSB indicates that the BH7 is a
master overclocker and fully capable of running the upcoming 200FSB processors
with ease... Available now. Recommended."
