ABIT IC7-G MAX 3

[Technonut]

Here For $219.00 / free shipping.

Anyone going for it?

 

[cobrasvt]

I bit and will try it! I called them to verify that it was actually IN STOCK and he verified that it was?

We'll see I guess...

 

[BaboonGuy]

oh man. 6 SATA ports is sexy.

 

[Corporate Thug]

i think my next board will be the plain old IC7

 

[Technonut]

The MAX 3 is very sweet and should OC like a champ ... It is the mobo I was waiting on, but ended up purchasing a refurb IC7-G with all accessories instead from NewEgg for $131.00 shipped. EDIT: It even came with the new style Northbridge HSF.

cobrasvt Keep us posted on how your MAX 3 works out.... If I had the extra $$ one would be in my cart for sure..

Has the OTES on the mosfets and power regulators...wow...very nice. Id say for the money its a very nice board.

 

[Thor86]

When the A7N8X Deluxe first came out it was around $170. Personally if I was going for a Intel system I would take it However do all of the S-ATA Controllers have the full bandwidth they need? Not on the crapmed PCI Bus?

 

[Jeff7181]

Was it? I don't remember it being above $150... of course, I just bought mine this past spring =)

Intel 875P chipset, 533/800 fsb, Supports 4 DIMM Dual DDR 400 memory.(Max. 4GB) Gigabit LAN, Dual SATA RAID, audio. (ETA SHIP 08/21)

I am going to buy one as soon as they come down in price.

I actually canceled my order yesterday morning, but later found out that it wa really a ploy with GameVE and that it wasn't actually in stock! Boy do I hate vendors that do that!

Anyhow, I decided to keep my P4C800-E Deluxe! It doesn't have the 255fsb 1:1 limit as the IC7-G does, and my 2.4C runs night and day at 275fsb @ 1:1 with OCZ PC4000! I am about to do the vdimm mod tonight on it to get more juice so I can run at 285 1:1!

I think I will hold off a little while on the IC7-G 3 and see how things pan out with (my gut is telling me that the 40mm OTES fan is probably a little annoying, but we'll see?

 

[jswjimmy]

that why i like amd you can get a nice mobo and a barton for 200$. intels mobos are going for as much as mobo an proc.
