Installation, Setup and BIOS

Installing the motherboard was fairly straight forward. I didn't run into problems here. But it has to be said that, if you install this motherboard into a micro ATX case ... expect a tight fit.

The rear ATX panel includes the usual connections for PS/2 mouse and keyboard. You'll also find the standard onboard 15-pin VGA connector, the HDMI connector, optical in/out, 4 USB ports and one gigabit ethernet connector. However, there are no eSATA connectors.

The BIOS for the F190 HD does not come with Abit's uGuru overclocking feature. Instead, it comes with the SoftMenu BIOS. You can still adjust various options including CPU multipliers, FSB, and of course voltages for memory, chipset and the processor. On another BIOS page you can adjust your memory timings.
