FullOn3D has posted a review on the K7T Turbo-R mainboard

MSI´s K7T Turbo provides front side bus adjustments in addition to the multiplier adjustments for overclocking. Like the K7VTA Pro and KK266, a jumper must be selected to select the range of front side bus settings, either 100 MHz-132 MHz or 133 MHz-166 MHz. The front side bus (FSB) can be adjusted in 1 MHz increments, similar to Iwill´s KK266. CPU voltage can also be tweaked as well as VIO. CPU voltage can be set to 1.30V and 1.425V to 1.85V in 0.025V increments. VIO can be adjusted from its default 3.3V up to 3.45V.
