Abit's AN8 32X motherboard - TechAmok
Abit's AN8 32X motherboard - [hardware] 06:31 AM EST - Mar,30 2006 - post a comment
TechReport take a look at the Abit's AN8 32X, a Socket 939 Athlon 64
motherboard based on NVIDIA's nForce4 SLI X16 chipset. Here's an excerpt:
The AN8 32X proves that despite over a year of financial uncertainty, Abit
still knows how to build a pretty sweet enthusiast motherboard. In fact, Abit's
fan speed control and hardware monitoring are still the class of the industry,
making the AN8 32X particularly appropriate for those seeking to meticulously
control the performance and noise levels of their PCs. Passive chipset
cooling helps, too, although the AN8 32X isn't unique in that respect. It isn't
really unique any other respects, either, and therein lies the problem.
There was a time when Abit's motherboards boasted more onboard peripherals and
overclocking options than the competition, but those days are long gone. DFI's
LANParty boards have the AN8 32X beat when it comes to overclocking options, and
just about every recent nForce4 motherboard can match its Firewire and extra
Serial ATA RAID chips. Most high-end boards are offering a second Gigabit
Ethernet port these days, too, a feature that's conspicuously missing from
the AN8 32X.
With its overclocking options and onboard peripherals trailing what's offered by
the competition, the AN8 32X's unique appeal lies with its passive chipset
cooler and unmatched fan speed control and hardware monitoring capabilities.
If those features are at the top of your wish list, the AN8 32X is easily the
best board on the market. However, enthusiasts who rank more exotic overclocking
or additional peripherals higher will be better served by other offerings. Abit
will have to at least match-if not exceed-those offerings if it hopes to
recapture the glory of legends like the BH6.
