Chaintech 7VJL- KT333

[Flashram]

Anyone have any experience or know of reviews for this board. Looks impressive but I haven't heard much about it. Lots of goodies packaged for the price also.

Not really a review, but more eye candy (pics) and a discussion at:

OCWorkBench 7VJL

Thanks for the link. Looks nice, but can't decide if it's worth a purchase with no reviews showing up... is it just that new?

Try this one.

Wow, that board has all of the features that I want. It looks like they gave a lot of thought to the design. I think I'll get this board instead of waiting on the KT400 any longer.

Laddyboy- Thanks for the link. Wow, great review. Can't wait for the Zenith board to come out (RAID, Firewire, USB 2.0).

Another A+ review for those looking for a KT333 board.

I just received my 7VJL from newegg.

It is deader than a doornail. I have checked the jumpers but it still will not come on.

Also, the board is a little different than the manual. One of the jumpers on the board is not in the manual.

After all was said and done, this thing runs like a champ.

The reason it appeared dead when I first tried to crank it up was that the picture of the front panel connector in the manual looks 180 deg. out. Also, the cpu speed jumpers are not explained very well in the manual.

In any case, all's well that ends well.

Have you tried overclocking it because I'm thinking of getting one.

 

[JohnGalt47]

Well....

Somewhat bad news to report. The board will not post at 166mhz even though the manual says it will. Supposedly it has a 1/5 divider but something is not right with the implementation. See the review at

which seems to agree with my findings.

I have not tried to overclock and am disappointed at not being able to do 166
