Large Size might be a problem for smaller cases. The FSB can be increased in 1mhz increments in the — mhz range.
Being a Full ATX motherboard meant that there were many mounting points on the board, all of which seemed to be in the incorrect places for my full tower case. The latter asud very rear, but the one with Multiplier Dip-Switches is the most interesting, as it allows limitless overclocking potential when used with a willing CPU. Relitavley high price compared to other Socket A motherboards.

Since their cautious entry into the Athlon motherboard market, ASUS has become much more comfortable with releasing boards that support AMD's flagship. While it is difficult to say exactly why ASUS chose to asjs these components vertically, there are a number of possibilities that could hold true.
The A7V 7av definitely the motherboard to get if you have an Unlocked Duron or Thunderbird Athlon processors as it will allow you to get maximum performance from your hardware.

Below is the Sandra Multimedia Benchmark Scores at mhz. The excellent overclocking potential.
If you remember, the release of the K7M wasn't as clean cut as most of ASUS' earlier motherboard launches, simply because the company's close ties to Intel made releasing an AMD based motherboard for use with the AMD Athlon far from the best way to maintain a vw relationship with Intel.
Also on the board is support for up to 7 USB ports that is provided on a small hub that sits in a card bay.
As the A7V is used in my day-to-day system, the stability is a very important factor to me. With a specially unlocked processor at my disposal, I was able to tweak the settings to gain every extra Mhz from the chip. We haven't seen an immediate need for including asud compound in this location and it doesn't affect stability as far as we know, so we didn't count against ASUS for not including it.
Even without an Unlocked processor, the A7V still continues to shine with its extra features that make it suitable for a high-end system. With a processor which is unlocked and the ability to change the multiplier, increasing the FSB becomes a much less desirable, as the processor can be overclocked and still be kept inside asys rated FSB. ASUS has attained this high level of respect by consistently delivering some of the most reliable, high performing and flexible motherboard designs we have ever seen.

Review: ASUS A7V - Mainboard -
Buying a motherboard made by a manufacturer like Asus is also a plus as new BIOS updates will always be available, unlike many smaller PC component companies, and its wide use in the overclocking community ensures support is available from all levels. The Socket A package follows the latest trend in processor designs, with the CPU core exposed on the top of the chip, thus allowing a heat sink plate to fit flush against the core.
Unfortunately this heat sink is not approved by AMD, as it has been know to crush the cores of several chips, as the core material is very fragile, thus resulting in an unusable chip.
I used a small drop of heat transfer compound to aid the heat sink in its duties. The ability to overclock a chip this way is not documented in the Asus manual but is shown on the Asus website. Any company can copy a reference design; a good manufacturer improves upon it.
A little bit of case modding later resulted in correct placing of riser supports to mount the motherboard on.

Reference pictures on the box indicate that there were aa7v heat sinks present originally; they must have been added after concerns were raised possibly after stability testing proved the chipset to generate a lot of heat.
AMD are also selling some chips that are multiplier locked and some that are unlocked, so it is possible to purchase an unlocked processor from a non specialist overclocking establishment, but there is a chance that the processor you may buy might be a locked one.
Memory bus operates at MHz or MHz. As you can see there is not a lot of difference in it. The next thing I checked was to see if it was the Dipswitch version, which it was, so a lot of overclocking was in order.
Another example of the ASUS standard would be their K7M, quite possibly the most highly anticipated motherboard for the Athlon processor. The version that I tested is revision 1. Voltage selection is adjusted by using a series of four jumpers close to the CPU. An instant winner in our eyes, the CUSL2 took the same chipset that every other motherboard manufacturer was equipped with, and managed to produce a motherboard that was more impressive than any other design based on that chipset.
ATX form factor x mm. Being on a riser board means that a large heat sink or other cooling devices can be fitted onto the board without fear of asis of space.
