Gigabyte GA -K8NF-9

[Bjørnar_88]

Er dette et bra valg av hovedkort?

[Iyon]

Dersom min personlige mening er av signifikans for deg, syns jeg det ser ut som et veldig greit hovedkort til den prisen, med nforce4, GBLAN og SATA, liker også plasseringen av ATX24pins strømkontakt, og at PCIe-sloten er plassert et stykke unna cpu'en...

 

EDIT: Noe mer konkret svar får du ikke dersom du ikke oppgir dine bruksvaner, ønsker og forventninger osv...

Brukes mest til spilling, litt Photoshop og html-koding, og til å se film.

Trenger f.eks ikke Dual GBLan (har aldri skjønt vitsen med det) eller veldig mange s-ata-porter.

Er drit bra. er bedre enn asus 8AN på det meste )

Billig er det også.... er er et utdrag av testen!!

 

The concept of the nVidia nForce4-4x chipset worried us a bit first. Here we are with an early stepping of the nForce4 chipset which is not supposed to work at full HyperTransport link speeds. This immediately has us thinking that this chipset would somehow be sub-par to other nForce4 offerings in terms of stability and performance. Thankfully, after using the board for a week now, we can say that this board is right on par with other nForce4 products in terms of overall quality – that being very high. The board was extremely stable throughout all of our testing, even when running at full 5x HyperTransport frequencies.

The board performs on par (and better in most cases) compared to the more expensive Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 motherboard. Of course, when one takes advantage of the SLI functionality of the Asus platform, you have the potential for much greater performance compared to the Gigabyte platform, but that also requires a pair of expensive graphics cards. If SLI isn’t your cup of tea; and you only need a single PCI Express graphics slot to use with your new Athlon64 processor, the Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 is certainly a board worth looking into.

 

For a board ranging in the $150 price range, we were happy with the feature set Gigabyte provided. Firewire, GigE, quad-port SATA RAID with a hardware Firewall, all the basics are covered here. The board lacks some of the frills seen on other high-end gaming boards like Dual LAN and a second SATA RAID controller, but than again, only a small percentage of gamers out there actually utilize features like this. We’re glad they didn’t include their fairly useless features like Dual BIOS and their Dual Power System, as these only tend to drive up costs and aren’t incredibly useful for the end user. The K8NF-9 is simple and effective, and flat out works.

Kunne du gitt meg url`en til testen ?
