In any case, it really isn’t a problem, but if you have a lot of CD-ROM’s and are unwilling to move to a full tower case, then it is something to keep in mind. There were some pretty decent voltage adjustments in this particular BIOS.
DIMM sockets sometimes move around, but in general they are always in the same orientation. Following 8845pe recent trends from this company we are faced with a board that has literally everything on board in the most desirable configuration that is.

We dry fitted this case in a standard Aopen QF50A case and found that the metal frame for the drive bays butts up against the edge of the PCB – so the board does fit without a problem. This was odd because nearly every Pentium 4 motherboard we’ve used have reported a CPU temperature no higher than 43C in the BIOS, with as low as 33C being reported by a select few motherboards.
The extra power requirement is something which surely comes in handy when mac2 those extra on board devices are being used as well.

This should be plenty for most memory overclockers, even despite the fact that overvolting memory doesn’t yield too much better of a memory overclock to begin with.
The only missing component is Serial ATA, but since those SATA hard drives still haven’t popped up in stores, this is something we can live with quite easily for the moment.
This feature has played a key part in allowing numerous users to overclock their FSB to very high speeds. Post Your Comment Please log in or sign up to comment.
