Anyone using the Abit KW7?

[Zepper]

I'm about to install one on my machine and was wondering if there are any gotchas to watch out for.

Well it slid into my system where an Asus A7V600 had been with very little problem and I'm typing this message with it's help. Still interested in hearing of any tips, gotcha, etc. from fellow travelers...

When overclocking you need a modded BIOS to select the AGP/PCI divider. Even then the FSB range will be limited depending on the CPU you have.

If you're not overclocking this is a great board though.

Thanks. Any more?

The Smart Fan feature for the CPU really quieted my system down while the temp still stays well under 40 deg C.

That's nice to hear. Are you happy with the mobo so far? What's your setup (processor & HSF, etc)?

My processor is a Duron 1600 OCd slightly. HSF is Thermal Integration V77L (lightly loaded CPU temp is around 27 with fan at full speed and 36 controlled by the mobo). 512MB of generic PC2700 RAM.
