Page 4 - Overclock and Conclusion

Of course overclock test was in order too (inevitable really). AMD fans know that processors such as this (F3 stepping) easily reach 3GHz, and even more (with some juice). The 1.35V maximum provided by the motherboards were sufficient to get our CPU all the way up to the stable 3-3.1 GHz with ease.

Conclusion


Pros
  • Small footprint
  • Cheap
  • Decent performance
  • HDMI
  • Good component placement
  • Support of newest processors


Cons
  • Unsuitable for serious overclock

As whole the motherboard has perfect price /performance ratio. Compared to its high class brethren it fares pretty well. And with a price of about 100$, its small footprint and capabilities , the 8,5 marks we give it are well deserved.

Thanks to our friends from Solytron that made this review possible.
