ASUS A7V333 KT333 Motherboard Review

Tbreak has just posted a review of the near retail ASUS KT333 board- the A7V333. Heres a meaty snippet to much on.

As much as we love our Athlons, we have to agree that the P4 runs cooler and is less likely to burn. When AMD released the Athlon XP, they offered a way for SOME kind of protection through the on-die temperature sensor that could be used to prevent overheating. However, almost all motherboard manufacturers have still not implemented this feature. Now on the A7V333, ASUS offers a feature called C.O.P. or CPU Overheating Protection and although nowhere does ASUS mention about C.O.P. taking the reading from the Athlon XP's on-die temperature sensor, we have a feeling that it does because ASUS clearly states in the manual that it only works with the Athlon XP CPU.
