Abit KT7 Motherboard

Pros: Top quality motherboard,highly compatible, very stable, very fast, easily overclocked.
Cons: Not the cheapest out there, the KT7A version just came out as well.

I have been using this motherboard for a few months now and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

First of all, I ran into none of the compatibility problems that I have been reading about from other Epinion users that have used the...

Pros: Everything. Runs like a glove.
Cons: If the fan is plugged into FAN2 instead of FAN1, the computer will not boot

After suffering through the massive load of BS i did with Gigabyte and their awful motherboard, and then my old P120's motherboard for a long time, i was definitely in need of a new system. I was wary of AMD in general but I had actually heard some good...

Pros: Flexability/Control
Cons: Ability to fry thru. incorrect settings/Newness

I bought this board because after searching the web I thought that it was the best for-the-money/currently available! In the case of KT7 Troubles by Seether166, I sympathize, though is unfortunate that you haven't been able to experience the merits of...

Pros: Socket A, upgradabilitly of 1.25GHz, PC133 RAM, AGP-4x.
Cons: No onboard sound (could be an advatage)

The KT7 follows the long ABIT tradition and comes with all kinds of gimmicks for overclocking. The so-called Soft Menu III combines all necessary functions like settings for FSB clock, multiplier (up to x12.5) and voltage supply. [TIP:For...

Pros: great specifications, supports all latest processors, best available chipset, lots of expansion possibilities
Cons: you pay top buck for quality like this

This motherboard in my opinion, is the best possible choice that anyone can make when they are looking for a solution for Socket A Athlon and Duron processors. The great thing about AMD's latest offerings is that people can upgrade from old PII/K6-2/MII...

Pros: Highly versatile, great for overclocking!
Cons: maybe a bit pricey

I must say, overclocking with Abit motherboards is a dream. No more figuring out which jumpers to fiddle with and no more sweating over that lost screw (hmm is it on the motherboard somewhere? will the computer short circuit if I turn it on?). To...

Pros: great motherboard, overclocks well
Cons: RAID offers more IDE channels

I bought the Abit KT7 for about $150 shipped. It’s a socket A motherboard featuring Via’s KT133 chipset. I have the NON-RAID edition. The Abit’s best feature, of course, is its overclocking capability accomplished solely thru its BIOS (no need...

Pros: stable, overclocker's dream, ISA SLOT!
Cons: 30$ more, no ata100 support (dont need it!)

This article address : EXACTLY why the KT7 is the best K133 board to choose for the money (the KT7-RAID is even better), HOW MUCH you should expect to pay, and ALL the tips and details that make or break your purchase satisfaction.

With the...

Pros: Very powerful and easy to use
Cons: No ATA/100

I purchased the Abit KT7 at the same time I purchased my Duron 700, both and a generic HSF set me back ~$240 shipped. The KT7 alone would then be about $130 of that. I consider this (and the Duron 700) one of my smartest purchases ever. With the Abit KT7...

Pros: high quality, stable, price, Overclocking options aplenty
Cons: The aging KT133 chipset can't keep up with its new siblings (KT133A & KT133E)

The KT7 was at one point the top of the line flagship motherboard from ABIT. But truth be told it no longer has that prestige. But this does not make it a bad motherboard in any way. In this product you get all you need for a power system. To start...

Pros: Rock solid stability. Easy soft-menu bios setup.
Cons: Slightly more expensive that other boards of similar capabilities.

If you are an overclocker with little time on your hands, an abit kt7 is the best bet. Why? Because of its soft-menu BIOS setup. I love the fact that I can experiment around with various voltage,FSB and multiplier settings through software rather than...

Pros: Easy to set up, inexpensive, a good MB for an inexperienced computer builder
Cons: No DDR memory support.

I selected the ABIT KT7A because I've had good luck with previous ABIT motherboards, and it was quite reasonably priced ($129).

My only warning is: Watch which fan header you plug the CPU cooler into. There are two side-by-side, and I chose...

Pros: Stable motherboard, Soft Menu 3
Cons: Poor performance compare to other SocketA offerings

The Abit KT7 is the regular version of Abit's top of the line socketA board the KT7-Raid. Upon inspection you'll notice that the KT7 is pretty much identical to the Raid version except it's missing the Raid controller. In truth, that's basically what...

Pros: Its an Abit
Cons: It didn't work

When I first decided I wanted to build my own computer last year I am not sure what prompted me to buy an Abit motherboard. If I had to guess, I probably saw and article on www.firingsquad.com dealing with how cool the BP6 was with dual Cely’s.

I have A KT7A-RAID and it is one of the coolest systems I 've seen. It has 4 IDE slots and 2 of them are hooked up with the RAID controller. It's designed for over clocking. While maybe not the newwest system it can definately put up competition with a good Athlon or Duron processor and a Good video card. Also I only have 3 fans and it stays cool enough.
