OC Workbench has posted a review on the Gigabyte 7VRXP motherboard.



Gigabyte is probably the first 1st tier manufacturer to send us their KT333 mainboard. In fact, if you have been a faithful reader of our website, you would have seen our exclusive review of the GA-7VTXH+ last month, 7VTXH+ is a KT266A+8233A which has the ATA-133 interface on board supported by the new south bridge.

Today, we will take a look at the latest from Gigabyte using VIA KT333 chipset. So what is the KT333 chipset? Basically KT333 chipset inherits the best performance of the Socket A and brings DDR333 support to the mainboard. Gigabyte 7VRXP integrated even more features onto the board and that includes the USB 2.0 supported using VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller*. There are also connectors for Memory Stick connector, overclocking features. The 10/100Mbps LAN port allows instant connectivity to LAN.

On the GA-7VRXP based on the AMI BIOS, the settings in BIOS allows you to change the FSB from 100~200Mhz FSB, the Vcore can also be adjusted from the BIOS by +5%,+7.5% and +10%. At 10%, you should be able to reach 1.95v if the default was 1.75v. The CPU multiplier is adjustable through a dip switch as shown in the photo below.
