Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Tuesday, December 3rd, 2001- Anandtech recently looked at nearly every AMD 760 board available. With its outstanding features and impressive performance, it's no wonder that the KG7-RAID received Anandtech's coveted Editor's Choice Gold Award.
"After playing with the board, we found out that the KG7-RAID is no doubt another outstanding product from ABIT.."
The stability of the KG7-RAID is simply amazing: "ABIT went a step further with a total of four DDR DIMM slots on the KG7-RAID, supporting up to 4GB of memory. Most other AMD 760 boards only have 2 DIMM slots…Now it's one thing to include 4 DIMM slots on a motherboard, but it's an entirely different thing to ensure that they all work properly, without sacrificing stability or performance. We had no problem populating all four slots at the same time on the KG7-RAID. This is quite remarkable, considering the tight timing required for DDR SDRAM."
Anandtech was very impressed by the overclocking potential of the KG7-RAID, saying "As we've come to expect from ABIT, the KG7-RAID offers tremendous overclocking potential. SoftMenu III provides 1MHz increments for the FSB as well as three sets of voltage tweaks. You can adjust the CPU core voltages from 1.100V to 1.850V in 0.025V increments, while the I/O voltage is adjustable from 3.5V to 3.65V. The most unique thing ABIT has done is provide adjustments for the DDR SDRAM voltage, including a total of 16 settings, with the highest being 3.0V."
The conclusion? "We can see that the ABIT KG7-RAID performs very well, topping all the charts on all our tests…There is no doubt that the ABIT KG7-RAID is the best AMD 760 board we've seen and thus receives the AnandTech Editor's Choice Gold Award. It has everything you would look for as a hardware enthusiast, especially when it comes to overclocking as we've come to expect from ABIT. The four DIMM slots are unique among AMD 760 boards, a major step ahead of the t |
