My Fatal1ty AN8 has arrived!

My mobo just came, but unfortunately I don't have time to set my computer to see how this baby runs. Got a A64 3200+ Week 50 so I'm hoping for a good OC. When I have the time to set up my system (this weekend), I'll post up some benches and give my general impressions of the board.

Some pics for now (now with bios):

Update: System is built and windows is installed. My CNPS7700 did fit the board and I have read the XP120 will also, but you cant use the RAM Cooler with either. I'll try to run some benches, etc. and post the info later.
 
That's great! 😀

Keep us posted on the board's OC options (voltages, etc). If you could check them on the manual while it's not up that would be great.

Could you try resizing the pics down to 800x600?

yes that is a good idea and BTW tell us how good is that MB plus how loud are those fan I have dfi ultra D but I'm ready to sell it and buy that 1 let us know please!!
 
What kind of backplate for the HSF does it have? It is glued on or is it screwed in?
Screwed in

Do you know whether the Thermalright XP-120 would fit or not?
I dont know, but I do have a Zalman CNPS7700-Cu coming tomorrow so I can tell you if that will. If it does, theres a good chance the XP-120 will too.
 
the only problem i see with that board is that the 4-pin 12v line will be in the way of the XP-120 heatsink, it was alittle bit too on the A8N-SLI, but on my new DFI it isnt at all. Nice board though.

Had that a whole 2-3 weeks and ready to change? Chances of that board being better is slim and non but we will see. Not to mention I think its $30-$50 higher. Either way hopefully we will see some reviews before I upgrade in a week or 2.
 
I just built the computer but its gonna take me a bit to get all the software configured and installed. I'll probably post some stuff this weekend.
 
" Ultra Bright LED's... A GODSEND for case Modders" LMAO Yeah right. A Godsend would be more like, hmmmm. Resetting the CMOS from "OUTSIDE" the case!! JEEEEZ I think this fataly guy got used up as marketing meat, Ultra Bright LED's OOOOOHHHHH

But that is by far the best LOOKING mobo yet for NF4. The Trademark RED PCB from ABIT pwns.
