ASRock AM2XLI-eSATA a system payment on the basis of chipset ULi M16 (Socket AM2) More recently we have got acquainted with model which have enlisted in the category practical, but anything especial not remarkable system payments (and making commercial skeleton of production ASRock). But in an arsenal of models under Socket AM is at ASRock and absolutely unusual, not having analogues among production of other manufacturers. Today we shall consider such payment. Also we shall begin with a chipset bearing mark of company ULi not existing for today, got company NVIDIA in the beginning of current year. But immediate turning modelling of some poglasch'ennoy the companies has not occured, on the contrary, on official site NVIDIA there was a page, having familiarized with which, it is possible to draw a conclusion what completely to refuse development ULi to new owners not from a hand (that, however, obviously and mead spiral notebooks so, differently purchase would be not meaningful). However, concerning mass chipsets for system payments, anything such in production ULi that would not offer itself NVIDIA, it is not found out. Therefore position NVIDIA is quite explainable, which recommends (according to from manufacturers of system payments) to the partners in the further to pass to chipsets from its own ruler. In particular, for inexpensive payments without the integrated videokernel where use of chipsets ULi has a practical substantiation, as replacement representatives of family nForce are recommended. Let replacement not quite equivalent (for example, nForce does not support HD Audio), but it is possible to be quite assured, that to this advice manufacturers of system payments will follow. And chipsets ULi (and earlier seldom met) will be used only in individual products from the companies specializing on non-standard decisions. Controller SATA-II AHCI (c return compatibility with mead spiral notebooks IDE) on ports SATA3 (up to Gbit/s) with support NCQ and Hot Plug/Hot Swap; Support of modes RAID for all SATA-portov: 0, 1, 0+1, and JBOD; One port PCIEx or two PCIEx (for graphic adapters) and ports PCIEx or PCIEx is supported; Together with microcircuit PCI-Express-tunnelya ULi M16 support of two PCIEx16-portov is possible. Excellent characteristics, is not that so? It is necessary to add also, that at presence of two graphic ports on a payment work of videocards in mode SLI is possible. Design of a payment unusual because of located to the right of PCI-slotov microcircuits of a chipset with a massive radiator, here are also sockets mead spiral notebooks for connection planok with USB-portami, that does a problem of installation long PCI-kart inconvenient. Fortunately such cards in mass configurations for today a rarity. And here to establish pair long videocards it will be possible without effort, including with bulky system of cooling. Only the arrangement of the crosspiece for clearing CMOS causes the fair censures, the mentioned full-size videocard for this purpose should be dismantled. Heating of a chipset is significant, while the processor fan promotes its cooling cannot, however in our tests the payment has fulfilled without remarks. Once again, testing production ASRock, it is positively marked present termopastu on which it is established chipsetny'y a radiator. For a choice of the scheme of division PCIE-liniy between graphic ports crosspieces serve. It mead spiral notebooks is necessary to note, that at installation of a unique videocard and switching of the first graphic port in polnoskorostnoy a mode, the second cannot be used for installation of any payments at all. Installation of two videocards from BFG on GeForce 73 GT has come to the end with successful inclusion of mode SLI through a standard option of the driver from NVIDIA (the given cards do not demand connection among themselves by means of the bridge though it is available in the complete set of a payment). It was logical to check up, whether will earn casually on a payment with ULi-chipsetom and pair ATI-videokart in mode CrossFire. The matter is that the mention of certain mode XFire met at reading the instruction, but exclusively mead spiral notebooks casually, and any conclusions about its applicability to make it was not possible. But to assume, what exactly so is designated a dual-processor mode from ATI (considering, that SLI here is called as XLI) was naturally enough. Unfortunately, pair videocards on Radeon 16 Pro not only have not wanted to work in a tandem, but even a multimonitor mode to organize straight off it was not possible. Quite probably, what to force Windows to activate the monitors connected to the second card, somehow it is possible, but about CrossFire, apparently, speech precisely does not go. And mentions in the instruction, possibly, speak only that in ASRock intended to impart on a payment universal support of competing technologies (for the sake of what, probably, and has been chosen ULi-chipset), but or were not in time yet and with updating BIOS and drivers, it in due course will appear, mead spiral notebooks or the given problem has appeared too complex or irrelevant. About a urgency, really, doubts are, in fact a case, when already got pair videocards on chips NVIDIA is replaced with pair from ATI (or on the contrary), it is possible to meet, perhaps, only in computers of testers and the fans equal to them to reshuffle cards with the experimental purpose (and in that case there is no basic necessity manages a unique system payment, especially, with rather modest functionality). In a four-channel pulse voltage stabilizer of a feed condensers on 15 mkF unknown manufacture (it is possible OST) and condensers on 10 mkF from United Chemi-Con are applied on field transistors on the channel. Not the most bad variant for an inexpensive payment, especially if to consider presence of channels (on payments of such level is more often meet 3-kanal'ny'e converters). Dissolved, but not unsoldered mead spiral notebooks elements on a payment are not present, this unique model on the basis of the given chipset in ruler ASRock and its design is unique. The size of a payment full-size ATX (3 2 mm), fastening to the case nine screws with reliable fastening all corners. Temperature of the processor (the built in gauge of the processor) and payments (the built in gauge of a payment); CPU Quiet Fan intellectual management of frequency of rotation of the processor fan depending on temperature of the processor. There is an opportunity to set a temperature limit in a range of degrees, until then while heating will not exceed a preset value, the cooler works on constant speed which level also can be operated (it is accessible three values Slow, Middle and Fast). At excess, frequency smoothly raises mead spiral notebooks up to maximal or until growth of temperature will not stop. Unfortunately, management is supported only for fans with 4-kontaktny'mi sockets, and decrease in frequency of rotation is insignificant even for value Slow, and Fast a little than differs from work with completely switched off management. Processor socket (Socket AM2, support of all processors AMD Athlon 64/X2/FX and Sempron, let out for this socket); sockets under DDR SDRAM DIMM (up to GB DDR2-400/533/667/800, a two-channel operating mode); slota PCIEx for videoaccelerators (depending on position of crosspieces: or the unique port works in a mode x (the second is inactive), or both of port work in a mode x8); Sockets of a feed: standard ATX 2. ( contacts), 4-kontaktny'y ATX12V for a feed of the processor and 4-kontaktny'y peripheral for a feed of videocards in mode SLI; sockets IDE (Parallel ATA) mead spiral notebooks on devices ATA1 chipsetny'e; sockets SATA from which Serial ATA II on devices SATA3 chipsetny'e, disks connected to them can be united in RAID-massiv levels 0, 1, 0+1, and JBOD, two more SATA II, being near to sockets eSATA II on the back panel can be connected by standard loops to pair the basic sockets of corresponding color that provides activation eSATA-raz`emov on the back panel. Thus, the total accessible SATA-raz`emov is equal to four, but two of them can be deduced on the back panel for connection of external devices; sockets for connection planok on additional ports USB; The block of sockets for connection of analog inputs and outputs of a sound on the forward panel of a computer; sockets for connection of fans with an opportunity of the control of quantity of turns, from them processor 4-kontaktny'y with support of intellectual management by frequency of rotation. Under the reference mead spiral notebooks a kind of a payment in 3/ from the back panel Sockets PS/ for connection of the mouse and the keyboard, LPT, COM; Packing: a small box of design traditional for system payments ASRock; The documentation: broshyura-rukovodstvo the user (the version in Russian is absent) and separate vkladka with instructions on hot connection SATA-ustroystv; The compact disc with drivers and package McAfee VirusScan, about a complete set of payments utilities of own development ASRock traditionally does not care. Sound, on the basis of chipsetnoy supports High Definition Audio and codec Realtek ALC8 with an opportunity of connection of audiosystems 7.1, sockets for connection face-to-face mead spiral notebooks audiovhodov/vy'hodov, CD-In and HDMI S/PDIF; Network Fast Ethernet with support 10/1 Mbit/s on the basis of chipsetnoy supports and PHY-kontrollera Realtek RTL8201CL. We have estimated quality of the integrated sound decision in a mode of bats, kGc by means of the test program and a sound card: Non-uniformity ACHH (from Hz up to kGc), dB: The general estimation: very well . The level of the integrated audiodecision corresponds typical for system payments with support HD Audio. Boot Failure Guard restoration of adjustments BIOS by default in case of unsuccessful attempt of dispersal. By means of crosspieces and switches the Crosspiece for clearing CMOS More precisely, on a payment there are two contacts which should be closed a metal subject mead spiral notebooks for example, a screw-driver or the crosspiece Crosspiece PS2_USB_PWR Management of function of inclusion of a computer on a signal from the keyboard and USB-ustroystv (activation of the corresponding parameter in BIOS also is required) crosspieces J J Switching of the scheme of distribution PCIE-liniy between graphic ports Opportunity of switching-off of specific functions of the processor + K Cool n Quiet Dual Core 1T/2T Memory Timing, CAS Latency, Min RAS Active Time, Row Precharge Time, RAS to CAS Delay, Row-To-Row Delay, Row Cycle Time Choice of frequency of work of memory + Auto, 400, 533, 667, 8 MHz (the multiplier concerning frequency HTT is really set) + Frequency of 2 10 MHz with step of 2 MHz and word length ( or bats) PCIE = 2 MHz with step of MHz PCI = , with step of 0, MHz Change of a pressure of a kernel of the processor + 0,8 1,4 with step 0,0 In Version mead spiral notebooks BIOS 1. from , as last existing version at the moment of testing was used. Listed opportunities BIOS are accessible in the specified insertion, working capacity of non-standard adjustments was not checked. Very modest opportunities by way of dispersal, are more exact than its extreme version connected with increase of a pressure, for the processor probably only downturn concerning face value, and adjustment of a pressure of memory is not supported at all. The payment stably worked with our memory in mode DDR2-8 only with established taymingom 2T. For comparison the tested payment from ASRock on chipset K8T8 has been taken earlier. The next payment tested in our mead spiral notebooks laboratory with socket Socket AM2, despite of propensity to work with memory in a mode 2T, shows a standard performance level for the processor used in our test stand and other components. Attractive enough in itself payment, can apply for attention of those who plans to get inexpensive SLI-platformu on vy'rost. Advantage of the given variant is the opportunity to switch the basic graphic port in a mode x whereas inexpensive payments on a chipset nForce SLI usually have fixed (x8+x8) distribution of lines between two ports. However, it is necessary to consider, that compatibility can appear limited. At least, the official list of the recommended videocards is insignificant (in the instruction videocards ASUS on mead spiral notebooks not the newest GPU) are resulted only, and the promised list of compatible cards, at the moment of a writing of the review, did not contain. And the more so it is difficult to tell, whether the videocards which have interested you will get in number garantirovanno supported. Differently, the decision to use ULi-chipset in this case does not provide any basic advantages and unique opportunities. If, certainly, to not consider to mention as required for that opportunity, that you (having studied all existing offers!) have stopped on a payment with so rare basis.
