Most Taiwanese Motherboard Manufacturers Fake FCC/CE Compliancy for EMI
This is rather unfortunate, considering that the majority of our motherboards are made in Taiwan. DailyTech did some true journalism, and looked into the famed Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3. It seems that after a few months, the DS3's have their fair share of electronic noise, and some issues with reliability/interference. And so, an independent firm sent some DS3 samples to FCC labs to confirm that they indeed did comply with FCC regulations for Electro-Magnetic Interference. Electro-Magnetic Interference does a lot of things to our beloved technology, such as disrupt, obstruct or simply degrade them. Two out of three samples failed terribly. When the same samples were sent to a European lab to test for CE compliance, all of the boards failed. This means that the tens of thousands of motherboards currently in systems world-wide do not comply with FCC/CE regulations for EMI.
