Mmm the plot thickens....
TDF.
P80 debug LED like epox boards..
That's nice to see.
To thoose who have the AN7, does the led work?
When I had mine, the LED worked just fine from what I could tell...I never saw that hand soldered resistor though...
Just checked mine and its the same!:eek:
Man Abit sure rushed those out! I wonder what the heck the hurry was???
Yeah mine has that as well.. noticed it but didnt think twice about it.
I still have to return it since i'm like the only dumb ass that connected that damn cut trace and had the blown 3rd DIMM slot.
and at the back..
another hand solder.. sigh.
thats by the ziff socket and mosfets the last one.
this is the LED hand solder:
that sux i didn't even notice that on mines. good thing i got a refund from newegg.
im gunna hang on to mine
later when a new rev is out, ill RMA mine
the back of mine
the cut trace
Sure glad I hung onto my $$$ on this one:eek:

Beatnic, is that how your board came? thats NASTY!
You know what? it is hard to imagine Abit making so many mistakes on a well proven design so I'd dare to speculate that uGuru is responsible for all these late fixes, what do you think?
woa WHAT THE HELL is up with abit??? :eek:
honestly, who would care if the boards would run 240fsb but they oc like crap and are full of fixes :\
not good.... not good at all!
That's Abit in a nutshell...Epox baby :)Quote:

Gotta love that last minute high quality effort. :rolleyes:
lol ya, go epox, but wtf is with the 8rda+ being cancled, it was one of the best?!!! especially the rev 2.1's!!!!! those were probably the best NF2 boards.
if you want a high quality board get the a7n8x, hq capacitors and hq mosfets that barely get warm ;)
the worst oc on an a7n8x deluxe 2.0 i heard of was 220dc, the best ~260 :D im still at 250 but i havent played with it for months. still default nb heatsink and i think my memory was keeping me back.
This one right?Quote:

Does this one need to be modded? And are they easy to do compaired to the NF7-S v2.0?Quote:

wtf is this? any word from an offical from abit? i mean i wouldnt care if the board performed really nice, but it just seems really ghetto in my opinion.
i tried to get ahold of abit, but they have over a 20 minute wait to get ahold of a person, so i didnt wait.
hmm.
