Review AOpen AX6BC Pro Gold - a Look at AOpen Stability

The only other board I has to test the AOpen against was a Soyo 6BA+.  Which isn't that bad, since in appearance they are VERY close in layout (minus, ATX and Floppy connector).  Since I am still waiting on some real CPU's to test with, I am still using a Celeron 300A for my testing. 

One thing AOpen boasts about is their high quality Capacitors on the board. They can supply a more clean power feed to the CPU by holding a stronger charge. Well I guess size does matter after all!

Both pictures are at the same scale.

A few other key points AOpen is keen to mention are:

• Frequency Isolation Wall deploy for signal integrity - Which means it keeps cross talk to a minimum and produces a much cleaner signal.
• The Gold Plated heatsink is credited for keeping the BX chipset nice and cool during those OC runs.
• Enhancement of 2200uf low ESR capacitors for overall stability

Something to remember (if you don't know it already) Higher Tolerances = Stability = Good Over Clocking.
