Anandtech Praises the ABIT Fatal1ty AA8XE
"The fastest Intel gaming motherboard that you can buy"

November 22, 2004 – What happens when you combine insight from the world's top gamer with legendary ABIT Engineering? You get a motherboard hardware authority Anandtech calls "The fastest Intel gaming motherboard that you can buy." ABIT's Fatal1ty AA8XE is just starting to become available, and already has garnered impressive praise from one of the world's foremost hardware websites. Anandtech took the Fatal1ty AA8XE out for a test drive, and discovered that ABIT Fatal1ty Hardware is gaming hardware that is truly best-of-breed.

Anandtech was impressed with the unique styling of the Fatal1ty AA8XE: "…the ABIT Fatal1ty is undeniably impressive in the "looks" department. Owners will get lots of "wows" with the red backlighting. The board certainly looks the part of the best gaming board that you can buy. We would even be inclined to say that Fatal1ty could well be the best INTEL gaming board which you can currently buy, as it's extremely flexible and stable. If you insist on an Intel board for your gaming rig, this is certainly one you need to consider."

Of course, the Fatal1ty AA8XE was built with performance in mind. With the Fatal1ty AA8XE, Anandtech was able to reach a new overclocking record! "It is hard also to not be impressed by the fact that we reached a new overclocking record FSB with the Fatal1ty board of 323X12...Tests with the 800FSB Prescott were also impressive…We have already seen a few incredible overclocks with water and phase-change cooling with the new 3.46EE. For those inclined to use more exotic cooling, this board would be a great choice for your P4 system."

Bottom line? "ABIT and Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel have partnered to produce what is arguably the fastest Intel gaming motherboard that you can buy...there is no denying the incredible array of tweaking controls with broad ranges that are available on Fatal1ty. For gaming and overclocking, the AA8XE was a joy to use. It is a fast Intel board that was also remarkably stable in every thing that we attempted in out tests…If your thoughts about gaming performance begin and end with Intel, then the ABIT Fatal1ty is very easy to recommend. Many buyers will only consider Intel, and for them, this is a fantastic board. It is solid, stable, wonderfully flexible, and an outstanding performer compared to other Intel boards."
