Review of ABIT Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI - motherboard - ATX - nForce 650i SLI

One fatal motherboard - A8N SLi

Advantages: Many over normal boards
Disadvantages: price above average

...The first thing you may notice about this board is it's name, Fatal1ty. This don't make the board any more special just that the world class gamer Fatal1ty has teamed up with some companies to put his name on it. Due to the fact I don't like spending much on motherboards I bought this 2nd hand and very impressed by it so far. What?s in the box ? You should obviously get the motherboard itself and all the usual cables/manuals/cd's and a guru control panel. The guru control panel is a basically a panel that fits in one of your CDROM bays and has functions on it to allow you to .. Monitor system Monitor overclock features Reset CMOS Connect earphones and mic Connect 2 USB 2.0 devices Connect 1 IEEE 1394 device It has an LCD display which you can monitor CPU speed, current time, temperature, fan speed, notification...

P5N32 SLi - Deluxe Motherboard

Advantages: Good quality, good build, high end specifications.
Disadvantages: Funny little heatsinks.

...Asus P5N32 SLi Deluxe nForce 4 Motherboard It would be possible to go on forever about this device, but I intend to keep the techno babble to a minimum. Or at least that's the plan. As such I'm going to go through the main features in detail and then talk a little bit about the other bits. The motherboard is very well designed and if anyone is interested comes with a slick black finish to the PCB (printed circuit board) and some interesting heatsinks draped across the board. The first thing I thought when I saw these heatsinks was 'bugger'. They look pretty and they mean that you have no whiney little 40mm fans on the board (the smaller the fan the more high pitched the noise it produces, generally you can get fans between 12mm and 180mm). This cleaver design of heatsink also allows for the mounting of optional fans that come...

Review of ASUS P5N-E SLI - motherboard - ATX - nForce 650i SLI

Top quality SLi motherboard

Advantages: SLI, price, feature rich
Disadvantages: Comparitively expensive

...Asus has consistently produced top-quality products offering both superior quality and features. The A8N-SLi Deluxe is no exception to this and offers a host of overclocking and other features and excellent build quality. Installation of components onto the board is a relatively simple matter and thanks to Asus' Stack Cool 2 and the heat pipe system the board is incredibly efficient at dissipating heat. However, the one problem I did have with the board was that the onboard Realtek sound card was a little tempormental with the bundled drivers and would not install at all on Vista. Fortunately, this is easily fixed by downloading the latest drivers from Asus' website. In all this is a superb quality, feature packed, product from a manufacturer with a reputation for quality and service. If you are looking for a high...

Review of ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe - motherboard - ATX - nForce4 SLI

ASUS AM2 M2N32-SLI motherboard

Advantages: Quality and fast overclocking, great for games
Disadvantages: In the shadow of the Core 2 duo motherboards

...When purchasing my new computer i needed a motherboard that could handle the latest technology and compete with the latest releases. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard fitted within my budget of one hundred pounds and offered a powerful tool for over clocking my components to keep my machine competing with the stresses of new programs and hardware. Fitting the motherboard and installing the other hardware was exactly the same as fitting other motherboards. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard supports the AMD AM2 cpu and thus supports DDR2 ram, this meant that when recycling my old computer i was unable to use the cpu or the RAM and needed to purchase these items again. The passive cooling on the ASUS M2N32-SLI means that no fans are needed to cool the motherboard making it quiet. The motherboard comes with a optional fan which snaps onto...

Review of ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition AiLifestyle Series - motherboard - ATX - nForce 590 SLI

It's the SLI of the tiger

Advantages: SLI. AMD64 bit goodness, DDR memory still used, Hypertransport, Hardware Firewall, Cable testing ports
Disadvantages: New PSU needed for 24 pin ATX and PCI-E power, BIOS updates required

...oops, I did it again with such a SAD title that half the readers of this small review on the newest Nvidia chipset based motherboard for the AMD64 socket 939 platform, have probably closed their browsers in disbelief. It was Just around the Christmas/New Year I decided that frankly my old XP3200+ based system could no longer cut the mustard so to speak, so off I went ( once I had been paid ) and bought nearly a complete system based around the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. As far as motherboards go, I only really like to use 2 of the well-known brands which are Abit and Asus. According to our Abit contact we have at work, would not have an SLI motherboard out for "quite a few months" I had only the Asus range to choose from. Now I was torn between a new PCI-E based platform or an older based AGP system - and I thought seeing as SLI was...

Review of ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe - motherboard - ATX - nForce4 SLI

A great ASUS motherboard

Advantages: Lots of ports/features, price.
Disadvantages: Slow to pass bois post

...I brought this from ebuyer a few months back, for my new system build. I wanted a motherboard which had plenty of features/ports etc, without braking the bank, and this does just that. With 4 USB port, 7.1 surround sound audio card, 4 rear USB ports + 2 headers, Printer Port, and even 2 PCI-E 16X for SLi and 2 PCI-E and 2 PCI card slots, which is a good use of the slots available, with the PCI-E sure to be used more in the future, with it's smaller and faster slot. So, after unpacking, I found there to be a lot of accessories with this board, keeping up to ASUS's standards. I applied the headers to the case and installed the motherboard easy enough, connected everything up etc. and it was up and running. After setting itself up, I was able to install the operating system. The board had no problem installing the Sata hard drive and disc...

Review of ASUS M2N-E SLI - motherboard - ATX - nForce 500 SLI

A great mid-price board for budget SLi systems

Advantages: Quick connectors, built in bios recovery, overclocking features
Disadvantages: No port 80 (LED diagnostics) display, angled IDE sockets

...of options for overclocking. The onboard lan is 1000 Mbps as you would expect. The two IDE sockets face forward at 90 degrees to the board which actually made them more fiddly in my Antec superlanboy case. Also the cpu socket protector felt as though I might break the board when I removed it to fit the cpu. Still, once the Zalman cooler clip was fitted underneath and the Q6600 cpu and cooler were in place, I stuck some memory in, connected the PSU and decided to fire it up. I noticed there was no port 80 card on the board but it turned out I didn't need it as the system came to life first go. The motherboard comes with a full instruction manual and quick set-up guide, driver cds, SLI connector cable, 2 sata cables, an IDE and floppy cable and a molex to sata-power adapter. I haven't overclocked this system yet but I'm getting core...
