ABIT Fatal1ty AA8XE Review

(1 Comment) »
  • With a street price of about $160 this board is one of the most expensive Pentium4 motherboards. But you get excellent performance and great overclocking for that.
  • Excellent Performance
  • Huge overclocking potential
  • Well thought out layout
  • OTES
  • Expensive
  • UGuru Software could be improved
  • Can be noisy
  • On-Board-Audio not that great
  • No SLI
  • No Dual-Core support
  • Minor BIOS issues
If you are looking for a top overclocking board for Pentium4 LGA775, you have found the right one. The layout is well thought out and the board has ample overclocking headroom - more than most people would ever need. Compatibility issues could not be spotted and gaming performance is rock solid.

However, if you are going to overclock only a little, you will not need the load of features the Fatal1ty AA8XE offers and could sure save some money by buying a cheaper motherboard, like ABIT's AA8XE (without Fatal1ty), which is about $50 less.

The lack of SLI and Dual-Core support are not Abit's fault. Intel's i925 chipset does not support either of it, so there is nothing Abit could have done.
There might have been some other very minor issues, but I still love this board.
