The Bad

We have only a few complaints about the board, the biggest one being the use of dipswitches for multiplier ratio settings and CPU core voltages settings. It would be nice if FIC has implemented both of them in the BIOS.

The ATX power supply connected might block airflow and could cause the CPU to overheat if you're cooling is marginal.

FIC also did not bother to include the bracket necessary to take advantage of the two additional USB ports provided by the VIA 686B South Bridge.
