Well , here we go, before I got this board, heard about some said it's awesome,
some said it's POS. I then decide to get this and try it by myself.
So it is here, let's see the real experience from me.
First of all, this is the appearance of the whole package. I don't know why Abit pick
this as their slogan..just so courious.
the first layer of the package; pretty interesting transparent windows..
finally, see the board
accessories
ok, let's see the board..whole scene:
CPU socket area , pretty clean and also the CPU vcore regulator used is different
than most Asus or other manufactures.
alright, now, let's look at Ra socket area, pretty rigid and massive power here
very special position of placing the cpu atx 12v.
let's see the left part of the board, PCIEX area.
well the space is good, but well, only one PCI slot?...:giveup:
how about the I/O area? That's pretty good for abit high end board that they
usually place a debug led at I/O area. I like it. but the bad is the location of floppy
socket placed.
now, let 's see some more pictures about the interested points:
the clock generator:
the rear I/O:
later, we will check BIOS key screens out.
**BTW: I think some of this board owners migh be frustrated is because they might be NOT aware of some
voltage values off from abit guru EQ especially if they are previously using Asus or other manufactures motherboards.
I can directly boot from bios by the following settings for DDR810(405fsb) 1:1:
CPU vcore: 1.45v(actual measurement is 1.39v)--->e6600 es b1
vdimm: 2.20v (actual is 2.24v)
vmch: 1.65v (no off)
memory timings:
