ABIT KT7A RAID is it any good for overclocking ???

[DimZiE]

a friend o mine offered me an ABIT KT7A RAID mobo for about 40 bucks in US dollars. is it any good or should should i just get a new ASUS A7V266 mobo please help !!!

$40 is one heck of a price. Even if the board is not good for OC (which it is anyway), the price is still a steal. Just be careful and make sure nothings wrong with it. Some things are just too good to be true.

I own an ABIT KT7 (without the "A&quot and it's very good for me now.
I guess yours is better (133 FSB )

Checkout if everything works well on that mobo. The price is very good....
Cheers,

Hehe for that price he's either a good friend (if its fine) or a sh*tty friend (if its busted)

Good board, great price.

Most will hit 145 FSB with decent cooling on the Northbridge, some will do 150. Very stable board when set up properly and easy to modify for more voltage. Be sure to hook up a HD to the RAID controler. There were a bunch of KT7A-Rs that have an inaccessable boot drive error when trying to boot off the RAID contoler.

Thanx for the suggestions i just picked it up put everything together n' voila it runs very stable running 3dmark 2k1 for about 3,5 hrs at 146 FSB there's nothing wrong with it n thanx for the tip on the RAID controller


sometimes life is good

I have the RAID setup with 2 45 gig IBM 75GXP's. It it is true that setting it all up is a little more work, and one the drives are in, you cannot relocate one into another computer, but MAN O MAN is it FASTER.

I had my issues with booting and installing win 2000 on the RAID, but for the most part I love this board. I have 2 sitting here. Just never by them from Frye's. They are a rip off: $175 !!!

Good deal, does he have any more? =)

Abit KT7A RAID OC not too bad, average (145 Mhz). The best KT133A mobos to OC are Iwill KK266(RAID or NON-RAID) and the Asus A7V133.
BTW, 40 bucks for this mobo is a very dang nice price.
