Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI on NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI
abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI Layout and Features
There is nothing special to complain about the board's design - the main 24-pin power connector is located on the board's bottom edge, with the latches of DIMM slots not blocked by a video card.
However, we note the inconvenient layout of additional power connectors:
Near the CPU socket, there is a 4-pin CPUFAN1 connector which is aimed at plugging in a matching cooler.
Besides it, there are three 3-pin connectors: SYSFAN1 (near the CPUFAN1), AUXFAN1 (near the north bridge), and AUXFAN2 on the left-hand edge of the board.
The chipset's cooling system is made up of two black radiators: on the north bridge, there is a massive aluminum radiator, with a much smaller one on the south bridge.
There are four DIMM slots onboard, which makes maximum memory capacity 8 GB. Once voltage is applied to the motherboard, a few red LEDs light up.
The scheme of switching the modules to the dual-channel mode is traditional: the first two slots refer to the first line, with the other two to the second line.
As regards the SLI technology, the board uses two PCI Express x16 slots to which 8 bus lanes are allocated onboard (16 lanes - to a single video card).
Between the slots, there is a SLI terminator with which the use can switch between the single and SLI modes. Also, there are two PCI Express x1 and two PCI slots onboard.
