| Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Tuesday, January 29th, 2002- The BD7-RAID has quickly made waves among the hardware community since its introduction earlier this month. Active Hardware had a chance to take a close look at it in a recent review, and after their rigorous testing, found that the BD7-RAID deserved their Top Hardware Award!
Active Hardware loved the flexibility of ABIT's SoftMenuTM III found on the BD7-RAID: "Just about every aspect of the BD7-RAID that is configurable - including Overclocking functions - is accessed through the Soft Menu III BIOS system. Among those settings that can be tweaked, we can count the Vcore and DRAM voltages, the FSB frequency, and the FSB/PCI ratio. In short, every feature an Overclocker would need to maximize their system's performance."
Here's Active Hardware on overclocking success with the BD7-RAID: "Thanks to the BD7-RAID's excellent suite of Overclocking functions, we were able to push the FSB all the way to 112MHz, for a final CPU speed of 2240MHz. As you can see, the BD7-RAID's 3D performance is beyond reproach."
Their conclusion: "As always, ABIT has managed to design a top-quality product. The BD7 RAID is very fast, and very stable, two points well worth considering for any buyer. Not only that, but it also goes the extra mile by including not only excellent Overclocking functionality, but a number of useful hardware controllers. The BD7-RAID is well-tailored for a wide variety of uses, and is well-suited for anyone who needs to get the most from their system." |
