VI13 architecture from FIC
(Continuation)

Fig. 3. Design of motherboard VI13 of FIC corporation

The design of motherboard VI13 of FIC corporation as a whole corresponds to the referens-design of similar products created and recommended by corporations, releasing sets of system logic.

In the motherboard architecture units of such corporations, as VIA, RealTek, Avance Logic (division RealTek), RichTek and others are used.

The functional mode of memory modules SDRAM can be or synchronous — clock rate coincides with frequency FSB, or asynchronous — clock rate differs from frequency FSB. For a choice and installation of demanded functional modes of the processor, memory and input/output arrangements appropriate BIOS Setup choices use.

Levels of powers, temperature and operation of the fans which are a part of coolers, resources hardware monitoring (http://rudteam.narod.ru/mb/monitoring/monitoring.html) through BIOS Setup ( 3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, 5 V SB, CPU Temperature, System Temperature, CPU FUN, System FUN) inspect     .

For enthusiasts of dispersal there is a possibility of installation of the forced functional modes of the processor. It is carried out by rise of frequency of processor bus FSB (overclocking) and memory buses, and also a choice of best values of parametres of operation of DDR SDRAM units.

Integrated into structure of motherboard VI13 of FIC corporation network tools allow to include easily the computer through built in RJ45 (LAN plug in local area network structure.

In summary it is necessary to pay attention, that often functionality and a complete set depend on concrete model of the motherboard and usage of various optional resources. As it is quite often underlined, corporations reserve the right to itself to make changes to a construction of cards. Therefore it is necessary to show certain attentiveness at purchase of a concrete copy of the motherboard, consulting with experts of the corporation-seller.

Correct and optimal choice of the motherboard with an appropriate chip set — pledge of high efficiency of the computer, its reliable and a stable operation, and also frictionless upgrade.

And as to an estimation of the main operation parametres of the described motherboard it is necessary to mark, that at performance of numerous, durable tests card VI13 worked steadily not only in regular, but also in the forced modes. To estimate dependability of the tested card rather difficultly on the basis of operation of a unique accessible copy. For the answer to this question it is necessary to access or to the computer corporations realising this product, or it is direct to the manufacturer — FIC corporation.
