There isn't one. This board uses the 5V rail for the CPU.

Ok, that was lame.

Heres why JAP CAPS are so good ...it's not just "marketing"

dude see my edit...follow links...it aint hype. it costs mobo makers signifigant dollars to put them on there.. Look at any supermicro/tyan/intel server board... all jap capped...rubycon/chemicon etc..I wonder why? Because sever guys are into hype? No it's about reliability/stability...

ABIT use Rubycon / Michicon if i not mistaken...

the vcore Caps for AN8 Fatal1ty used Aliminum caps :)

Never gonna buy them again.

Just "unlucky" or something.... abit is/was best mobo maker and good price too. NF7-S best 462 board ever made. So are intel boards like IS7/IC7...high clockers high features..maybe DFI is best now..but ABIT maybe makes comeback

i had 6 abit boards and 4 sucked, all nf7 boards, all buggy as hell, each had its own weird bugs... really weird stuff... never going to touch anything from abit again... never

it all wouldnt have been a problem if the support would be ok and replace the boards, but they didnt! the abit support and warranty in europe is like going through hell!

What are the voltages? Like Crappy KV8PRO, 3.1V in initial BIOS, then 2.8V in other BIOS, Vtt can't track with Vdimm :D

All the AN8 boards use the same layout, according to the pics at ABIT's site (though they're are not final yet). The connector is apparantely missing on all of them, but it's under there near the OTES fans.

That is not correct, ABIT started using Japanese caps after they started having problems but before taken to court.

ASUS had caps problems too on the very recent ASUS K8V Deluxe.

I hope ABit finally makes a come back, I loved most of the SocketA boards(kr, kx, nf). The kx7 was a tank! MrIcee knows lol!;)

Right on brother!

The heritage of overclocking was built by Abit. They were the first to put OC options in the BIOS with thier SoftMenu feature way back in 1999. These older boards were all awesome mobos of the day:
KA7-100
KT7-RAID
KR7
KX7
Even the stripped KD7-E was great.

Oh well, things change. I'd like to see abit come around again for sure.

:lol: talking about history

My 1st mobo was NF7S rev2.0 .... &

I have a friend work for ABIT ...
He told me oskar's project start from the famous BP6 then follwed by BE6-II , BF6 , KA7 Series , KT7 Series , KT7A Series , KG7 Series , KR7 Series , KX7 Series , AT7 Series(Max & Max II) , KD7 Series , IC7 is one of his team member called Jarry's project , IS7 is another team member ... However his team member who did the IC7 also leave ABIT and join DFI after IC7 is done ... :( ... Luckily , NF7 is other team's project , otherwise ABIT will lose all the credit once oskar left ... But without all the modded bios , I don't think NF7 will be a good board for enthusiast :mad: ... Wake up ABIT :banana:
