ABIT AN8 Ultra

If you're a regular reader of TrustedReviews you might have spotted Gordon's news piece on the Quiet OTES boards from ABIT a while back. The first board to be reviewed here is the AN8 Ultra which is based on the nVidia nForce4 Ultra chipset. It is really just a modified version of the AN8 with the addition of the chipset heatpipe cooler using the Ultra version of the nForce4 chipset rather than the standard version. This might still be enough to convince users looking for low noise components to consider it - after all, just because you want a fast machine, doesn't mean you want a noisy one.
