How's the AN7 at nowdays?

[KODE]

My NF7-S 2.0 is totaly fried and I'm afraid the reseller will replace it with the AN7. As I heard/read terrible things about this mobo on the past I was wondering if ABIT made any major change to solve their instability problems (BIOS update, new revision, etc...)

Why I have the feeling that you guys are laughing at me? :D

Regards,

KODE.

sorry...:D

Hi m8,

oh s*it... this is bad.

P.S. The mod you suggested didn´t woke her up, but my soldering skills are 200% better :D

OOT:

Should i throw in D10 Memory Timing Table into D23?:D

It aint as bad as when some of the members tested it here. I've got one from the first shippment without the cut trace and I have nothing to complain about. Tops out above 230FSB (bad memory...) and rock solid in every aspect you can think of. Way better then the NF7 I had before... that sucker wouldn't even run 225 single channel stable! I wouldn't be worried, its not worse then the NF7 maybe just a little bit less good ;) but just a tiny one. Who knows maybe you get a NF7 that was as bad as mine, couldn't even prime at 166 2.9vmem 8-4-4-3.0 and 1.85vcore... _THAT_sucked...

U can do 230FSB with CPU interface enable? Cause I can do 245FSB DC 11-2-2-2 (2x512) but with CPU inter off. And CPU interOFF sucks. So this board sucks

AN7 ? don't ya mean - Hell 'N 7 ? that's the new mobo from - A BIT WORKING .....

it's funny to even consider it as a board - i had two when they came out - both were giving post codes like hell - rma'd like 5 times - till i sold one - and the dealer is refusing to rma the other one ....

now i have some abit pcb to melt down ......

[tictac]

AN7............. SUX :stick:

[Lithan]

I seem to remember a few people digging into me for badmouthing the AN7 when mine came dead as a doornail. Some even insinuating that I had killed it. Oh how the tides have turned.

I've tried out one...

...topped out around 212fsb. Its pooh :D

[KODE]

Looks like I don´t have much options here, they will fix my NF7-S or they will give me the AN7. I can´t do much about it, that´s life...

[S&M]

u can - ebay it !

Like what?

[S&M]

if u r not up to modding - infinity ....
if u feel like - get another nf7-s or something ....

my friend - believe me - no matter what will u hear about this mobo - u don't want it !

[KODE]

I trust you buddy...and you don´t have to make much effort to convince me. (when 90% of the OC community starts to bash a product you better believe them). I know some people got lucky with their AN7´s but unfortunately I don´t have time for luck.

I bought one recently to replace an NF7-S...absolutely terrible. The worst purchase I've ever made.

Best I can do with CPU int enabled is 200 MHz...my RAM has done 250 MHz before. Don't waste your time or money!

[Dominos]

seem I'm a lucky bastard then :D runing 230 dualddr wasn't a problem for me, running 220 now after I bought some other ram that really sucks!! F***ing HyperX won't even bo stable at 200 dual! My old Corsair Value S did 230 dual! The HyperX is PC3500 rated...

[tictac]

burn it in for 2months

2-2-2-x timing no sweat

I just left my mobo at the reseller, they will take a look at the mobo and see what can be done.

They have the KV7 there, but with the KV7 II around the corner I think maybe It´s better pick the AN7 now (since It is more expensive) and sell it later when the KV7 II come out, what do you think?

[Dominos]

You never know, maybe you'll get an awsome board that does 240+ unmodded, doing that on a KT600 board would be harder since you'll need a HDD that can take the higher PCI bus and a gfx that can take higher agp bus. I think you should atleast try the AN7 out, but maybe that only me....
