FIC FD11 Athlon mobo review

Lost Circuits heeft een review van de FIC F11 neer gekwakt. Deze Athlon plank is gebouwd rondom AMD's eigen 751 en 756 North/South bridge. Verder heeft-ie 3 DIMM slots, 5 PCI gaten en een optioneel ISA slot:

FIC has created a good, solid board that, without any doubt will be an excellent platform for any kind of Athlon CPU one might lay eyes on. Because of the extremely spacious layout there is relatively little concern about heat issues. In fact, even the voltage regulators that, on the Fester B3 showed slight discoloration (heat spots) at the end of the testing period remained spotless. There are several reasons why essentially the same hardware can behave in different ways. One, of course, is that the original Athlon testing was conducted under climatic conditions that were as bad as one could possibly imagine. The second reason lies in the CPU itself. The power consumption of the Athlon rises almost exponentially with the clock speed and thus a delta of 50 MHz can make a significant difference particularly for the voltage regulators.
