Technical details

Plenty of space has been left open around the CPU socket, which should allow for the installation of larger heatsinks.

The memory slots are located far enough from the AGP port that there is little chance of a retention bar coming into contact with the graphics card.

Six 2200Mfds capacitors have been placed around the CPU socket.

The CPU retention bar is made of metal.

Three fan connectors are included, all of which are controlled by the hardware monitoring system.

Hardware monitoring is controlled by a Windbond W83627HF-AW chip.

It's possible to manually assign IRQs.

The AGP port does not support AGP Pro graphics cards.

It's possible to flash the BIOS by pressing ALT+F2.

The BIOS can be rolled-back to the last batch of valid settings by pressing "CTRL+Insert" at start-up.
