Jasper Schneider van VIAHardware.com heeft een review gepubliceerd van het MSI K7T Pro2 moedebord (ja, ik weet het, de tweede vandaag). Zoals je eerder al hebt kunnen lezen biedt dit Socket A moederbord boven zijn voorganger multiplier adjustment en de mogelijkheid om de Vcore aan te passen. Dankzij deze mogelijkheden werd een Duron 700MHz succesvol opgekrikt naar 1GHz:
I decided not to even test the front side bus adjustments, because frankly I have never had any luck over 105 FSB on the KT133 chipset. Multiplier adjustments is the way to go for overclocking if possible. The main reason is FSB overclocking puts too much stress on the other system components, whereas multiplier adjustments simply stress the CPU.
I was able to push a Duron 700 up to 1GHz at 1.8 voltage. 1050 would post, but failed during some testing.[break]Het bord bleef tijdens de testen stabiel en de prestaties waren goed. Toch is dit plankje volgens VIAHardware niet perfect, vooral vanwege het ontbreken van ATA-100 support zoals op de borden van Asus en Abit:[/break]Another thing that kind of got me down, was the lack of the VIA 686b southbridge. The K7T Pro 2 is late to the market, and certainly could have included the 686b southbridge, which adds ATA 100 support. This would have been ideal because it would have natively added ATA100 support without the problems of an integrated 100 card, like found on the Asus A7V and Abit KT7. With motherboards shipping now with the 686b southbridge, it troubles me that this was not included. From what I know, the 686b adds no or very little more cost to MSI and eventually the end user. If this would have been included, the K7T Pro 2 would have been my top choice for a KT133 board.
