Abit AN8 Fatal1ty
Based on the chipset NVIDIA NF4, Fatal1ty AN8 Abit is a good choice for those looking for performance and features. Supports processsori 64/64FX Athlon and Athlon 64 X2 dual-core technology with support for Hyper-Transport and Cool 'n Quiet . The maximum amount of RAM installed is 4 GB even though, if the four banks are installed, the memory controller integrated in CPU AMD Athlon 64 provides to automatically lower the frequency of operation up to 333 MHz . Connected to the motherboard are the board " AudioMAX "that houses the codec ALC658 and allows you to connect up to 5 jack and 2-channel S / PDIF.
This mainboard and 'cooling system has two OTES (Outside Thermal Exhaust System) to ensure good operating conditions. One of these, the OTES RAMFlow, must be mounted above the memory modules DDR to facilitate heat dissipation . However, four 40 mm diameter fans generate considerable noise and also using the control system FanEQ, supplied with the card , the minimum speed of rotation is still quite high. Moreover, the small fan that cools the chipset does not seem to excel in quality. The area of the socket of the processor is free from obstruction during assembly. The same applies to the area around the heat sink anchor system. A small negative note, however, the choice of ABIT position the floppy drive connector on the short side opposite to the motherboard socket. This can create problems during assembly. decidedly negative reviews for the choice of the location of the four SATA connectors and three USB .
Perfectly in line with the slot PCI Express 16x, these connectors are likely to be "blacked out" in a more or less part of a video card like the last generation. Shrunk spaces between the slot PCI Express PCI and the first "traditional". The ability to set values of the FSB in the range between 200 MHz and 410 sets good conditions with regard to the ' overclocking . These expectations are in the ease of use of the BIOS , and a great ally, the possibility to restart the machine with settings default without resetting the BIOS settings after a launch failure, it is undoubtedly interesting. In fact the BIOS is still quite immature: the potential of the system are severely limited by the inability to fully exploit all the possibilities available to the user. The design is certainly very attractive. LED diagnostic or purely aesthetic and display, populate the AN8. Really appreciate the effect Overall, the colors chosen in the design phase are well suited to the color choices of producers closer to the needs of modders .
