Fujitsu-Siemens D1192-A11: Innovative Fan Control Unit
The Augsburg/Germany motherboard manufacturer presents an extraordinarily high quality Pentium 4 motherboard, produced using almost fully automated methods of production. The Fujitsu-Siemens developers continue to set global standards for precision in production. The D1192-A11 comes with the Intel 850 and a network chip from Intel (82550).
The manufacturer has omitted a second serial port that isn't used much today anyway. The thermally managed fan control unit is one of a kind and keeps noise levels at a minimum when in use. If the BIOS has been installed incorrectly, it can be restored using a recover disk. Since the manufacturer continues to cater to its core business - the OEM market, where the largest share of its output ends up - Fujitsu-Siemens chose to not integrate overclocking functions into the board.
In the test, only the clock multiplier was adjustable although we were using an unlocked Pentium 4 processor. This board's performance was somewhere in the middle. These facts are reflected in our benchmark results. One excellent feature was the inclusion in the package of a voltage adapter that makes it possible to use a conventional power supply.
