ABIT - ABIT NF7 meets Granite Bay

Overclockers Australia takes a look at revisions 1.0 and 1.2 of ABIT’s NF7-S (nF2-ST) compared with a Gigabyte 8INXP (E7205):

There wasn’t any major flaw with the initial NF7 revision. But there is almost nothing that couldn’t be improved. The most important NF7 improvements we have seen are the added mounting holes and the widened voltage options for the CPU and the memory. It looks like that the A3 Northbridge stepping is slightly improving performance and that the changes in the circuitry are providing better overclocking stability. Our tests showed that the tested ABIT NF7 revision 1.2 is performing similar to the compared Granite Bay (E7205) dual channel DDR Pentium 4 system. But there is no doubt that the NF7 is in terms of value for money a much superior choice to the tested E7205 chipset based system. ABIT’s NF7 is so competitively priced that we could buy 2 of them for 1 competing E7205 based mainboard.
