This does not belong in this thread. If you want to talk about a problem with a company or :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: about anything related to this it should be in speak freely not in the hardware section. I suggest you make a post in speak freely for this so it can be deleted from this section.Quote:

Listen to this. They let me know they tried to contact Abit and NEVER got a reply back from them. Would you believe this company?
They think they are above the law and show it. They don't even bother replying to the BBB. They told me this would be noted in their record so anyone that wishes to know their reputation before doing business with them will know their history.
The case is not closed. I'm waiting to rehear from the Florida Attorney general on this. I brought this to his attention that no one is really regulating these products for quality assurance except the company themselves.
Just wanted to let you guys know what Abit's attitude is towards
us and this agency. I urge you all to vote with your wallet and let Abit's bottom line go to hell....
I have the letter home. I don't have a scanner but here's the BBB report on Abit. Read it and see your proof gentlemen:

I hate to dig up an old thread, sorry guys. :) Is anyone finding that this board reports CPU temperatures incorrectly? OC Guru is reporting temperatures in the high 60s, yet I can run Prime stable.
Well maybe your temp is that high, what cooling, CPU and clock speeds do you report this at? I haven't had any trouble with the uGuru on my board. And AMD is known for its ability to work stable at high temps, not like P4's that get as slow as a the traffic in central NY when the offices close down ;)
I'm running a XP 1700+ JIUHB with a SK-7 and 80mm sunon fan. I get the same general temp from 1.8-1.9V at 1980MHz (220*9)
holy ressurected thread batman!
Your overclock is pretty mild, and I my buddy had his stock 1900+ running high's 60-mid70 on an asus (which reports low).Amd chips are pretty tough like that.
I've got nothing personal against abit. When nf7-s 2.0 came out it was the shiznit, dispite it's problems. But they really :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ed up the an-7... and they released a product that shouldn't have been released. (Sorry, you don't make a board, then run a razor over the traces you don't like). And it looks as though little has been done to solve it's problems. They were obviously focussing on intel and 64bit boards and just wanted to squeeze some more cash out of the xp enthusiasts. They wanted a board compairable with nf7-s with some added volts and features. What they got was a board that couldn't hold a candle to the origional nf7-s' and had problems coming out it's ass.
Has anyone measured the temps with a probe on this board, out of idle interest?
