Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD

[Charles Wirth]

I did not know this existed until it arrived today straight from Taiwan.

Hate to post without images but I will do my best to get all the specifics in as I dont have anything online to copy/paste from.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1250
Intel LGA775 1066Mhz
Intel DDR2
Integrated Radeon X700 Graphics w/ HDMI, D-Sub
4x SATA 3GB/s, IDE, GbE LAN
7.1 HD Audio, S/P DIF out
MicroATX

Once again, this is a Fatal1ty motherboard, complete with red/black color scheme. The box is a finished product, what I have in my hands appears to be a full retail product sample.

It features only one PCIE 16x slot, and two smaller PCIE slots, one PCI slot.

The SATA lacation would be a problem for the larger video cards as well as double width.

Four phase solid japanese caps. Special PWM layout and 100% japanese caps in memory areas. (says on box)

Supports up to 16GB of DDR2

There is no fans on this motherboard.

I will update with pics, just wanted to share with you guys the new arrival as it just arrived.

[nn_step]

now I am really excited to see pics

[ownage]

Board looks cool, has many futures, supports almost everything i think.
Has some nice features:
-avivo,
-H.264
-VC-1 hardware decoding
-hdcp-connector

I'm looking forward for pictures and OC results

[MaxxxRacer]

looks like a real nice HTPC board. (not that many actually use HTPC)

[Starscream]

some info i pulled of of a german forum (hardwareluxx)

hopely it won't be overpriced

[Fr3ak]

Finally a Intel version of the 430/6100 AMD boards. Hopefully the price is right and it is an ok overclocker.

Will you be testing it before Cebit starts, Charles?

[destro404]

Nobody going to mention this thread that has been here for the last 3 weeks?

There are those and a few other places. Would like to see what u do Fugger.

Awaiting ur results.

[Charles Wirth]

Thanks for the other link, I should have known sxs112 would have had a thread up early as he is good connections in Taiwan.

None the less, I have the board in hand and about to see how fast it goes.

As far as prices, I think this will be under or very close to $100 US.

[Dillusion]

WOW cant wait for OC results, I'm expecting one of these from abit soon aswell.

[Charles Wirth]

OCZ has provided ATI branded parts to be reviewed on the Xpress 1250 board

The ram is bright red and compliments the board, awesome looking combo.

[jgigz]

I've been reading some of the posts and what not @ hardforum and it seems to cap out around 350-360, hopefully with more mature bios's the board will be able to do 400.

[FLMJIGGY]

under 100 and Im in for Intel and a 4300 or 4400. Awaiting u Fugger.

[Fr3ak]

Charles you are making me jealous

[WiCKeD]

If OCZ partnered up on the mem side and Abit sent this to FUGGER, I am taking that as a good sign for overclocking... Anxiously looking forward to the results!

[Fr3ak]

If that board does something close to 400Mhz fsb I would be more than happy.
paired with a E4300 and some inexpensive ram and you have a very fast, low power cunsumpting HTPC or surf rig

[pvhk]

upcoming test with an x6800...

[erwinz]

waiting for some results..

this will be good..

[Silver Bullet]

Results from [H]forum .. lots of guys with these boards over there.

10,000mhz? not sure about that
http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/fo...wthread/96647/

[pvhk]

it's easy to do this!
set fsb @500 and you have the estimated cpu frequency ( 20x 500=10000) but not the real one which is 3.2Ghz on the screen(default 2.66)

intel pentium cpu!

[koegs]

360Mhz at +0.1V on CPU and NB so far with an E6600. Have to improve my cooling before i will go further.

With the final bios from abit Windows finally accepts my 4x 1GB DDR2-667 CL5.

[Revv23]

under $100 is sweet...

i want to get a nice HTPC board but i wish they made a DDR one so i could some of this old ram i have laying around.
