Contradictory reviews from hardocp.com and templintech.com on the Abit KR7A

Here are 2 links from the 2 reviewers:
Hardocp.com
Templintech.com

I am going to quote on templintech:

<< The KR7A non-raid board I have will hit 190mhz FSb easily >>



And then one from hardocp:

<< We were surprised at the bus speed on this board as we were hoping to reach a smooth 166MHz (although the PCI bus would be torqued to hell). We did drop the multiplier to its lowest and still cracking the 150FSB mark was not possible for us. >>



What do you think? I am aware that different week production might result in different yield. But I didnt expect the difference to be > 40 MHz on the FSB.
 


Oh, i forgot to mention that if you happen to own Abit KR7A, please tell me your overclocking result..... most importantly, the highest FSB you are able to hit.
 


<< Both reviews are probably right, It's just Abit being an inconsistant product as usual.😉 >>


It is NOT being inconsistent. The board works at default speeds doesn't it? Overclocking is NOT guaranteed. Not every processor overclocks 20% or even 15%. Not every motherboard (even from the same manufacturer) overclocks to the same FSB.

This is nothing new Budman 🙂
 
People defending Abit.. it's about time 😉 Every mobo has it's flaws, certain models or even revisions of that model can be prone to flaws due to manufacturing and more importantly the quality of the parts being used.

The fact that a motherboard won't overclock to insane speeds outside of stock realms is NOT a flaw.
