IC7-MAX3 Receives AVAULT Seal of Excellence
Killer motherboard wow editors, earns 5 out of 5 stars

June 10, 2004 - For the absolute best gaming experience, a PC based on quality ABIT hardware is tough to beat. Gaming enthusiast website Adrenaline Vault recently took the Intel-based ABIT IC7-MAX3 motherboard to the test, and liked it so much, decided to bestow it with its coveted Seal of Excellence Award, with a rating of 5 out of 5 stars!

Adrenaline Vault saw how the IC7-MAX3 performs in real-world tests: "For this review we have chosen the following real world demos and games to test the IC7-MAX3...As you can see, the scores are more than adequate without any kind of overclocking. Of course, this is with relatively high-end hardware and your experiences will differ based on what you install to compliment the IC7-MAX3. Overall, this is solid performance that will easily put you in today's gaming titles with no slow down at all."

Overclocking with the IC7-MAX3 is outstanding as well: "...this board simply screams to be pushed and is built around the act of overclocking, so it seems only prudent to report some unofficial performance numbers with everything pushed harder. Since the BIOS is so tweakable I was able to achieve some excellent results, bumping the CPU up to 3.43 GHz with only a small increase in voltage and changes to the bus / multiplier, as well as a small push in AGP and Memory voltage for stability. I am sure I could push it more, but even after only minor tweaking and changes I was able to achieve credible gains."

The conclusion? "The ABIT IC7-MAX3 is a great product all around with no real flaws and solid performance. The benefits imparted by the FanEQ and OTES technologies are definitely a bonus for the sound and heat conscious enthusiast, while the very solid overclocking options and the all around tweak-ability exhibited by this ABIT board place it solidly in the top tier of the enthusiast and performance market niches. Throw in rock solid stability, a unique look and you have a board that really could appeal to just about any part of the PC world...If you are on the market for a great overclocking motherboard, one that will help you curb the noise or heat of your system, one that is stable, or a board that has lots of features and looks great, then the IC7-MAX3 may be just the answer you are looking for."
