I’ve had this board on test for about a week now and in all honesty I’m thoroughly impressed. I should point out at this stage that I’m not one of the hoards of people who see the Abit name and swoon having had more than my share of problems with Abit motherboards in the past. However, the AI7 is aggressively priced, well thought out, fast out of the box and even faster when overclocked, and it overclocks to excess. With its accompanying µGuru related apps and innovative BlackBox function the AI7 has something to offer users at every level of competence and most levels of bank balance, and it’s really quite a challenge to find anything worthwhile to moan about. My main gripe is probably with the OC Guru software, which clearly needs a few gremlins working out yet. The only real reminders that this is a budget motherboard are the lack of an Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapter and advanced RAID options which are saved for the costlier AI7-G. But otherwise you may need to slap a sticker on the front of your PC to keep reminding yourself how little you paid for the motherboard. With its new power circuit designed to cope with the demands of the recently launched Prescott, which by the way it runs quite happily, this is quite an exceptional piece of hardware that’s worthy of any shortlist.
