Taipei, Taiwan, April 17, 2003-Long-standing
enthusiast hardware site Overclockers Australia has recently tested the ABIT
NF7-S against a competitors Granite Bay board and found the ABIT board to be far
superior in terms of value, with great overclocking features.
"Our tests showed that the tested ABIT NF7 revision 1.2 is performing similar to
the compared Granite Bay (E7205) dual channel DDR Pentium 4 system. But there is
no doubt that the NF7 is in terms of value for money a much superior choice to
the tested E7205 chipset based system. ABIT's NF7 is so competitively priced
that we could buy 2 of them for 1 competing E7205 based mainboard."

"We then found out that increasing the AGP voltage very
substantially reduced overclocking headroom. After setting back the AGP voltage
to default, our 2400+ went up like a charm. The maximum possible frequency under
whichever multiplier to FSB combination was for both NF7-S revisions an amazing
2450 MHz. We have to point out that we used the AMD stock HSF. Using a better
HSF would undoubtedly result in even better results."
A Great All Around Package
"The NF7 is a well designed, well performing, easy to overclock
mainboard with a very attractive sticker price. With continuous hardware
revisions ABIT has brought the NF7 mainboard model line close to perfection. We
absolutely recommend this product. It will be interesting to see how the NF7
compares with the next generation dual channel DDR Intel boards. Stay tuned for
an upcoming dual channel DDR in-house comparison, with ABIT NF7 versus ABIT
IC7-G."
