Is the ABit IT7Max V.2 PE best Intel mobo out there?

[Sgt_Strider]

I know I have been asking alot of questions lately and I hope you can tolerate me with this last question here for a while. Do you think the Abit IT7Max V.2 PE the best Intel mobo out there in terms of overclockability?

[GreenBeret]

no :p
The Epox 4PEA is ;)

[DoGMaN]

LOL

No the IT7-Max is. :D

[pcworks]

No, Look at the Epox 4GEA+, all the features of the 4PEA+ but with extreme graphics for free as well. Also the boards costs the same and the OC like crazy.

well if the damn mobo was compatible with my Geil...it would probably be the best

Simple answer to your question.....Go and take a look at "the first" places of every benchmark(3DMark-PCMark-Pi-Fast,ect) and make your own opinion.... ;)

Well,
You could spend $170 on an Abit IT7Max2 v.2 or look at my $84 Albatron PX845PEV Pro !!! There are a LOT of IT7M2V2 owners with lesser results...
And some with better results ;)

My next motherboard will be Granite Bay. No other motherboard swap will give me the performance increase I desire. Intel 845PE performance is maxed out. And if you want more bells and whistles, check out Albatrons PX845PEV PROII, with SILVER PCB, Sata, RAID, etc...oh and for $124.99 at googlegear.com...:D
Or spend the extra $$ on Abit...it's cool.

how is that on air? cpu lower than case?

[charlie]

Drozdov,
It's an Albatron thing...
Even anandtech's original PX845PEV review showed this peculiarity. All I know is that the cpu runs cool enough to push really hard:D
It may be at 30C???? But also, maybe it's cuz I was in a 5c room and my 92mm fan(side blowhole) feeds my delta/mcx478
Dunno'??
