Techseekers.net have reviewed their first AOpen board. The AOpen AK77-8XN.
You dont see many AOpen boards on review.
"A very interesting feature is the inbuilt FAN speed control system thats
included in the BIOS and also available as a software program. Depending on
the system temperature and CPU temperature the SilentTEK system alters FAN
rotational speed right down to off if the system is cool enough. It's like
having a little software FANBUS system. Of course these fans have to be
driven from the motherboard headers and not powered by the PSU connectors."
