Onboard Serial ATA, in our opinion, is a nice perk, but nothing more. Won't you please settle this for us. Therefore, the NF7-S supports no more than four IDE drives total, which really shouldn't be an issue with the vast majority of users and yes, even power users.

ABIT NF7-S Version Basic Features - nForce2 6-way Motherboard Roundup - December

Log in Don't have an account? The general layout of the NF7-M is good, I would have preferred to have the main ATX and auxiliary power connectors elsewhere, but I understand that being close to the MOSFETs provides the cleanest voltage signals to the motherboard powersupply circuit. In only half a year, nVIDIA have dethroned the previous champion chipsets from VIA and have created quite a reputation for themselves in the stable high performance chipset arena.

If you decide to upgrade out of vanity, or necessity, to a larger active Northbridge heatsink you'll appreciate the fact that ABit have placed the fan header just a few millimeters mtherboard on the board.

It indicates they networ, about the level of quality of their product and considering the recent failure rates surrounding some low ESR capacitors, this is an important area for the longevity of the board.

Ships with the following: This is good news for the overclockers out there because this means the NF7-M has the potential to overclock high - or at least that is what the word on the street seems to indicate - but you never with a hundred percent certainty.

I always like seeing a manufacturer use components which have a good reputation for quality on their products. Soft Menu III, don't ya love it?

Besides the two rear USB 2. High-End Workstation Performance continued This goal couldn't be better exemplified than by their Serillel converter technology.

Beginners Guides Cases and Access. Here you'll be able to add a maximum of four USB 2. Anit has been trying to separate themselves from other motherboard manufacturers as much as possible lately. The current advantage of Serillel is that you can add an additional IDE drive to your system for a total of five instead of four.

Something I was extremely happy to see was that the NF7-M was only using Rubycon capacitors, nothing else. The motherboard is very well labelled, if you do not happen to know what a header does just look closely on the PCB and you'll find a description.

If one were to buy a mid to high end motherboard or AMD "whitebox" system these days, they would be well advised to only seriously consider options which have 'nVIDIA nForce2 inside.

While most motherboards using the nForce2 chipset only have passive cooling on the Northbridge, Abit have equipped the NF7-M with a small active heatsink. Nothing exciting to note here, as this is pretty standard among nForce2 motherboards. An extra fan header is also located just above the AGP slot, a good thing if you intend to add extra cooling to a temperamental videocard.

We even ablt the little cooler to check that thermal compound was indeed used. This seems nice, but remember that there will be some performance loss because of the Parallel to Serial conversion; on paper the performance loss shouldn't networ too great but we'll be investigating that in the coming weeks.
