i used to have abit mobo (AN-M2) but my problem there was the temp reading (quite high)..but if somebody can give a good review out there this will perhaps be my next mobo...

Yeah looking forward to seeing some results out of it. I'm still tempted by one, just wanting to see some results with it to see if it's worth an early upgrade or wait until I'm actually changing CPU.

This my short test with this board...I still waiting my X2 5000+ BE with all test...
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=321347
Still continued with all my test !!!
seemes its a promising board...
what bios version did you used?any temp monitoring on those PWM?
does this supports 125w cpu's?

@madfaze : Using bios 12B01....I will try later with 125w cpu's....
cool!...
are there any PWM monitoring temp?NB temp? etc..
what other temps can these mobo monitor?

would believe it supports 125w Athlons as it supports phenom and got a eight pin 12v for the cpu
are there any benefits on havin' 8pin on 12v?
what are the difference on havin only 4pin?

It can supply more power at more stable voltages. It is basically two p4's connected I believe.
hmm can this be done with k9a2 platinum it has 4pin molex connector but i believe this is fot graphic card feature...

How do those results above compare with previous motherboards? 280HTT is hardly anything to get excited about, but it would be great to see 400!
The board supports all 125W CPUs, I have looked at the compatibility sheet on the abit site.
It should monitor PWM temps if you use Speedfan. I believe my board does with the "AUX" sensor.

how about the NB and SB?does it read temps?

i have ax78 w/phenom 9600 , the temp show 50-55c running 2.645Ghz
are that temp is currectly right r just the board can`t read the temp phenom 9600??
my colling is noctua NH-U12P
sori my english is bad..
can you post some screenie...

Hazzan: What is max voltage for cpu, ht link, nb, sb, mem, and how is mem tweaking options on the board? Sbtimings/drive strenghts tweakable?
How is the vdroop? I'm close to buying this board now..
if it holds true to form it will be CPU VID plus a set amount (i.e. max Vcore will vary according to installed CPU).
On my 5000+ Black it's 1.30 min, 1.67V max
Vdimm is 1.80- 2.50V
nb 1.8V max 2.35V
nb 1.1V max 1.90V
sb 1.2V max 1.57V
HT max 1.50V

Thanks Heidfirst, then it's an AX78 for me too
Update: Ordered.

The board is under way, so I'll be posting some results in a few days I believe. I'm not sure if I'm gonna continue with Vista x64 or revert back to the good old XP 32 bit though..
Well with 4GB of RAM you might want to stay on 64.
Also, when you switch between boards will Vista survive it without getting buggy, I could never make XP do that.

That's what I was wondering about too, if it does, I'll stay with Vista x64 I think.

Works fine here. Booted a tester 9600 BE which the owner said "has 3rd core faulty" perfectly first time.
Only tried once though. Nice little CMOS clear switch at the back panel, BIOS looks amazing for any board.
