Taipei, Taiwan, May 21st 2003-Number
one hardware website Anandtech has recently reviewed the ABIT IC7-G and found it
to be "one of the best" overclocking motherboards ever created, with an
"unmatched" tech support and RMA policy. "So, with the ABIT IC7-G we were
able to reach, and in fact surpass, the juicy 1GHz (1000MHz) FSB barrier. We
were able to reliably operate the ABIT IC7-G at 270MHz FSB (1080MHz FSB) to be
exact. We''ve been notified of FSB overclocks as high as 1200MHz FSB."
Built For Overclockers, By Overclockers
"Looking at our preliminary testing with our newly acquired
retail 2.4C processor, we can tell you that the ABIT IC7-G is near the top of
the heap in terms of overclocking prowess."
Solid Tech Support and RMA
"As far as email tech support response time was concerned, ABIT
did very well this time around, clocking in at 26 hours. Yet again, tech support
was friendly and very helpful in general, and they answered our question with
great accuracy."
"We''d like to reiterate that ABIT''s RMA policy is unmatched in the U.S.; no
other motherboard manufacturer comes close. In combination with their timely
tech support reply we feel ABIT is one of the best (if not the best) motherboard
manufacturer to turn to for motherboard customer service and support in the U.S.
We''re glad ABIT continues to work hard on this aspect of their operations, and
hope to see similar steps taken at other top tier motherboard manufacturers."
Conclusions
-
"The ABIT IC7-G is an excellent FSB overclocker, one of the
best in fact. This is no coincidence either, as ABIT is almost synonymous with
overclocking. "
-
"The ABIT IC7-G is also filled with all the features you would
expect from a high-end Pentium 4 motherboard, including Serial ATA support,
SPDIF, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394 FireWire, sound, Gigabit LAN via the CSA bus, and of
course the speedy 875P MCH itself, the only shipping chipset that officially
supports 800MHz FSB processors (845PE unofficially supports 800MHz FSB
processors)."
