Abit's Muddy Venture into AMD64 Land

byexpress15_99 Jan 22, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Feature-filled VIA-based mobo; Nifty POST error code LCD.
Cons Hates Antec PSUs; Light bundle of extras; Crummy Tech Support
Recommended it? No

This really isn't much a review of the performance of a motherboard as it is a description of its painstaking unwillingness to work in my new computer. After receiving an Asus A8V rev 1.02 this last summer, I wanted a board that would OC better than 150Mhz on an AMD64 3500. After getting rid of... Read full review »

Up and Running Without a Hitch

Pros Fast. Great layout of connectors. Extra 1394 & USB headers. Socket 939...
Cons Only 2 SATA headers (four PATA allowed also).
Recommended it? Yes

This was my first venture with both Abit and AMD (Soyo & Tyan previously). The board was packaged well, and came with both a quick start & a more detailed manual. For the most part these were well done. I didn't have to call tech support, although in a few places the instructions would have been... Read full review »

Abit NF8-V mobo (mostly nice board, LOUSY TECH SUPPORT!)

Pros CPU and memory performance is great. Documentaion is well above average.
Cons Ethernet doesn't work at all. Tech is lame, pathetically so.
Recommended it? No

In late March and early April, 2005 I purchased the components of what what was (and still is) supposed to be my fastest, most powerful computer, a 64-bit Abit NF8-V mobo, 2G of PC2700 333Mhz DDR RAM, a pair of 7200RPM drives for a total of 0.45TB of storage, a couple of fast DVD-RAM drives, and an...

Great Performer, but a couple of got'chas

Pros FAST
Cons Aopen Modem not recognized; difficult installation; initial quality suspect, based on...
Recommended it? Yes

After a extremely long and tedious installation process, I finally got the AV8 working. In getting things to work, I encountered one DOA board, a second that would only work sometimes (but this could have been memory) and a board that would not work with Corsair TwinX PC3200 memory. Replacing the... Read full review »

Pros Rock Solid / FAST
Cons IDE ports set too low
Recommended it? Yes

I guess I'm just lucky. This is my 3rd Abit board and I've never had 1 problem that didn't trace back to my stupidity. This board (Abit AV8 V1.1) is rock solid and FAST.
Unlike some of the other people I thought the package was pretty nice and it had more then I needed. After trying to come up... Read full review »

Erroneous cpu temp readings!

bymadmikeee Apr 25, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Lots of features, OC ability.
Cons Bad temp readings, apparently a bios or uGuru issue. Abit's lack of interest in...
Recommended it? No

Bought one and it started alarming and shutting down due to high cpu temps. RMA'd it, vendor put a new AV8 under my cpu and again the same problems, just without the audible alarms this time. Read over at Abit forums, there is a 26 page thread specifically about the AV8 and its bad temp readings... Read full review »
