Overclockers New Zealand has posted a review on Abit BD7 Raid I845 DDR Motherboard



BD7 Raid's overclocking ability is amazing! I was able to push our good old P4 1600Mhz to 1944 Mhz stable around 121 FSB. The Vcore was increased to 1.825V to stablise the system while the dram voltage kept default. None of the previous P4 motherboards we tested allow us to overclock our P4 to this speed. Bumping up the Vcore to 1.85v allowed us to pushed another 1 Mhz FSB with slowest memory settings. Pushing the speed any further will result system lock up or reboot and raising the voltage didn't help to stablise the system. We actually booted to Windows at 125 FSB with slowest memory settings and get a snap of WCPUID. The system was able to complete some Sandra benches but crashed as soon as we started to do some serious testing.
