Chaintech Apogee

Wow, I never thought I'd say this about a Chaintech board, but this one really looks like a winner.

Check it out

sure looks pimp...i dont know, its not that easy for a company that has no experience in building enthusiasts' boards to just suddenly be the best (or close to it). i am a little sceptical.
on the other side, when a company tries to PROVE something, thats when the best stuff (and usually for affordable price) is being created. like logitech wanted to prove that they are good with making PC speakers, and created z560's. almost like promedia, but twice cheaper.
we'll see.

sure does look neat......if only the vcore/vmem went a lil further

World's first "Round Cable" bundle debuts with the APOGEE KT333 board. This innnovative ribbon cable provides better stability and neatness by allowing a clutter-free easy installation. Less clutter of course means improved airflow inside of your system chassis. They have included not only 1 but 2 rounded IDE cables and 1 floppy cable. The yellow colored cables matches the board and lightens up your PC.

Abit were the first, they bundled 'black' Abit Cables with an Abit KR7A edition.

they weren't round tho were they? :p

Nope, but they look cooler than grey ones. The voltages are more than the abits, no? Looks to be rather nice. Kind of tacky looking though.

**Neptune5k** · 07-09-2002, 09:15 AM

I thought it was interesting that there was a seperate voltage adjustment for the chipset

**Neptune5k** · 07-09-2002, 12:53 PM

Yeah...Those stupid Chaintech engineers prolly created some egregious defect, like failure to boot with an XP2200

JBELL seems, gullible enough...

JBELL · 07-11-2002, 10:42 AM

I'd review it hehe

**scrllock** · 07-12-2002, 11:47 AM

Hmm, he has a motive, and the resources to get it too....
Hey JBELL, I'd really like to see some more mobo reviews around here... Hint Hint.
