Introduction
ABIT is a company that needs no introduction in the world of enthusiasts and overclockers. Their most recent product line called the Fatal1ty series has generated a lot of hype and expectations in its target market. We had the pleasure of reviewing the first Intel offering in this line, the Fatal1ty AA8XE, a few months back and was very impressed by its performance and overclocking capability. It was an overclocking gem.
However as the line is marketed for gamers, it was only necessary that they come out with an AMD counterpart. Though a little bit late, the market was so looking forward for this offering.That is why when they released the Fatal1ty AN8 board based on the socket 939 nForce 4 Ultra chipset, we were excited to say the least to find out if it would overclock and go the limits just like the 1st Fatal1ty board we tested.
Well today we will find out as we put the ABIT Fatal1ty AN8 to the test and run it through its paces. We’ll find out if ABIT has brought us another winner with their much awaited AMD Fatal1ty offering.
