Summary and Conclusion
All in all a good effort on the behallf of Asus. The ‘power brick’ approach is a good idea only belied by the issue of using a standard PCB for both types. As far as the twenty four pin solder points placed upon the board, one could find objection to in regards to wastage. For example this place sould have been used for a LED Debug display or a place to install ‘right angled’ SATA ports. It was this lack of thinking that started to push this ITX board into the silver award catagory. However upon inspection of the BIOS and its ability to overclock and overclock Easily from 1.6 to 2.2 gigahertz (albiet with a fan) and then combined with the impressive GPU performance results then one must revaluate the overall score.
Pros:
-
Great format MITX
-
On the whole a good mainboard layout
-
PCIEX16 Express Port
-
Remote Control
-
Great GPU Test Results on video Playback
-
Fantastic sound
-
A Wide range of Audio Connectors
-
Onboard HDMI
-
Audio Connectors again including Optical out
-
Heatsink does a great job considering it is cooling both CPU and GPU
-
OVERCLOCKING , OVERCLOCKING and OVERCLOCKING on an ATOM CPU!
Cons:
-
Using a Generic PCB for both onboard power and Laptop Power Leading to………..
-
No right Angled SATA connectors for airflow
-
No onboard DVI (there is no need for DSUB on a home theatre PC)
Overclockerstech feels that the ASUS AT3IONT-1 DELUXE mainboard deserves a 9/10 therefore a well deserved gold
