Your feedback on the KR7A133-RAID

[Yodums]

I might be getting this board. Although I'm still on my toes for a few things: One being where the floppy connector is. It looks very far, does the cable that come with it reach good? I use a mid-tower ATX. Also what's also disturbing is where the CPU area is. My PSU is right above heatsink and I don't want to remove my psu everytime I remount my heatsink.

Other than that I went to amdmb.com and read the review and it looks very good. And how would you disable the raid as I'm not going to use it.

Also, how accurate is the thermistor, and is VIO and VIO1 adjustable?

PAUL should have all the details.

Also according to the webpage, there's an article with a clock generator showing that it has the high dividers of 1/5 and 1/6! I know there's a big discussion with this ..........

Yodums. First of all the board is great. I have two of them and I personally believe that they are the best boards I have owned so far. I have a LianLi PC65 on my main rig and it has a removable motherboard tray...so I don't know if you have to remove the PSU to take the heatsink off. You don't with my Q500, but then again there isn't a HUGE heatsink on that one either. The thermistors in my expierience are still inaccurate. Currently the XP diode is reading 98°F and the socket thermistor is reading 93°F. The onboard thermistor is reading 84°, and the accurate thermistor is reading 74°. So right to wrong you have about 14°F of difference total. But I could learn to live with those temps ya know...ANYWAY, I can pull about 155FSB on it perfectly stable without dividers. Um, I can't' think of anything else to tell you. PM me if you have any questions.

I own a KR7A133RAID and I love it, been stable and have had a blast doing various volt mods and seeing what I can get out of it. I would call it the true hobbiest's board. If your looking for a board to cut your overclocking teeth on this is the way to go, its alot of fun to mess with. One of the best things about it is being able to go to forums like this and pick up new information and apply that information to your project.

Best of luck!
