Asus A7V Review

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

AthlonMB has posted a review of the latest and greatest Socket A motherboard from Asus, the A7V. Here´s a snip:

With all this goodness, there is still more that has created this shroud of excitement for the A7V, frequency multiple settings. Many websites have reported that Asus, in the eleventh hour, decided to remove this option to further prevent overclocking of AMD processors. Frequency Multiple settings are not available here because AMD Athlon processors have locked Frequency Multipliers. According to Asus, they will soon be releasing an A7V WITH said options to provide overclocking. And yes, the A7V will allow the change of the processor voltage as well as the adjustment of the processor multiplier! The first will be possible with jumpers, the latter will be achieved with dipswitches. Even if your one of those lucky (unlucky), souls who opted to be the first with the A7V, I have found that by simply increasing the front side bus, you should be able to squeeze at least another 100MHz out of your processor.

FIC AZ11 Motherboard Review

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Athlonmb.com has posted a review on the Socket A motherboard from FIC, the AZ11.

The ATX power connector is placed far enough away from the horizontally-mounted 462-pin Socket A that it won't affect the cooling device placed on the CPU, but the capacitors and voltage regulators could become a nuisance if the heatsink extends past the edge of the socket entirely. In the realm of overclocking, the man with multiplier settings is king. Unfortunately, the AZ11 does not have these available to change (without heavy modification) nor does it have the ability to change the voltage settings. What we are left to play with is simply the FSB settings. There is a wide variety of settings ranging from 100 MHz to 133 MHz. During my testing, I was able to get my system up to 106 MHz FSB while the memory was set to HOSTCLOCK+33 and up to 109 MHz FSB while the memory was set HOSTCLOCK speed. This simply shows that my memory was unable to run at speeds greater than 143 MHz. The FIC AZ11 is not very overclocker friendly, with it only allowing you to change one of the three necessary settings for successful overclocking.
