ABIT NV8 the Sempron’s Best Friend
ABIT NV8 Intro
The ABIT brand of motherboards is very well-known for massive overclockability. And as
they are aimed squarely at the middle to high end DIY market, they naturally don’t come
cheap. The market, however, needs products from all segments, starting from affordable
entry-level to pricey feature-rich high-end. For more price-sensitive users, there are also high
price-performance items such as this ABIT NV8 motherboard.
Found at Newegg.com at a price below $80, this Abit motherboard represents an immense
value as we don't detect any discounts in functionality or quality. And that makes it the
Socket 754 processor’s best friend and really good news for users who are currently
contemplating building a Sempron (Socket 754) system. These users want price and
respectable levels of performance, and this motherboard has got both.
As we already know, there isn’t really an obvious performance gap between the Socket 754
and Socket 939 Athlon 64 processors. This motherboard can therefore be used to erect a
high-performance Athlon 64 computing platform. As such, it isn’t entirely fair to call the
Socket 754 a low-mid-range choice. With ABIT’s industry-leading overclocking technologies,
this motherboard can therefore be used to erect a high-performance Athlon 64 computing
platform.
The above is an officially-supplied shot of the NV8 motherboard.
This motherboard is packed for the price. It comes with 4 SATA data cables and a USB
expansion bracket (with two USB ports). It doesn't get much better than this for the asking
price.
Specifications
Like many other nForce4-4x motherboards, the Socket 754 ABIT NV8 motherboard supports
the Socket 754 Athlon 64 and Sempron processors. As we see in the image above, this
motherboard is designed to take into account the majority of requirements out there. This
motherboard has seven expansion slots (1 PCI Express x16 graphics card slot, 3 PCI Express
x1 and three PCI slots) and 4 SATA ports with RAID support as well as 2 PATA pots.
ABIT NV8 Specifications
Chipset nForce4-4x
CPU support AMD Athlon 64/Sempron (Socket 754)
HyperTransport: 800MHz
Memory support DIMMx2
Single channel DDR400
Graphics interface 1 PCI Express x16 slot
IDE Ultra ATA/133x2
SATA x4（RAID 0/1/0+1）
LAN nForce4 built-in Gigabyte MAC with external Vitesse PHY
Sound Onboard Realtek ALC850 7.1 channel Codec
Expansion slots (non
graphics) 3 x PCI Express x1
3 x PCI
USB USB2.0 x10 (6 motherboard headers)
Close Ups: Rear IO Panel, SATA Port. Expansion Slots
Being a non-high-end product, the NV8 is surprisingly well-equipped with a RJ45 Gigabit
Ethernet port and FireWire, though it doesn't provide dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The rear IO
panel is at once both feature-rich and practical with the indispensable PS/2 and USB ports,
plus 7.1 channel audio output ports and an S/PDIF output port.
The motherboard’s jumpers use the convenient classic ABIT lengthened design. In addition,
the chipset cooler is molded from copper, which is excellent news for any member of the
nForce4 family which often produce considerable heat.
ABIT provides an auxiliary power connector for the PCI Express x16 graphics cards. The
sheer number of expansion slots on the NV8 is really quite rare among entry to mid-range
motherboards. There are three PCI x1 slots and three PCI slots in addition to the graphics
card slot.
Close Ups: MCP and Onboard Devices
As we are quite aware of by now, many of the earlier nForce4-4x MCPs were actually “A2
edition” nForce4 products that were unable to work stably at 1GHz HT bus speed. This caused
engineers to retard HT to 800MHz. The A2 were limited in number, and ours is actually the A3
edition nForce4 MCP that is able to operate at 1GHz HT bus speed.
CPU-Z v1.30 also detects the A3 edition MCP
Vitesse VSC8201 Gigabit Ethernet PHY Realtek ALC850 AC'97 Codec
This motherboard’s Gigabit Ethernet ports are provided courtesy of the nForce4-4x’s integrated
MAC controller and the Vitesse VSC8201 PHY. This combination is used to provide full-duplex
Gigabit Ethernet, and support for the NVIDIA firewall feature (the standard nForce4 and the -4x
edition do not have the hardware security engine). Overall This motherboard has very strong
networking features. ALC850 is adopted as the audio codec, which is very common among
nForce4 motherboards. ABIT doesn’t used lower grade ALC650 chip.
Close Ups: CPU power supply area and PCB tin stripes
The NV8’s CPU power supply is quite lavishly made with solid aluminum capacitors and
MOSFET heatspeaders– something found rarely on bargain price motherboards.
The above is a shot with the MOSFET heatspeaders removed. This 3-phase design uses 6
MOSFETs in all. Though each MOSFET will operate hotter, they can rely on the heatspeaders
for added heat dissipation.
The NV8 uses only Japanese made capacitors, and most of them come from Rubycon.
Praiseworthy indeed for such a humbly-priced product.
At the back of the motherboard are tin stripes used to aid cooling of the PCB. This a quite
popular design today, and it definitely helps.
