Hardware-Test has posted a review on the Soltek SL-86SPE-L Springdale-PE mainboard.

Since 1996, the company Soltek has been producing mainboard to the end-users. Some years ago, “Soltek” was unknown to the Danish people, but in about 2-3 years, Soltek acceded to move up from the ground and to mark a good spot on the top lists when it came to the Danish people’s hardware shopping lists. The last few months, Soltek has been pushing, and are finally in the Swedish sales market – I hope that the same goes for Denmark soon. The reason for this behavior is their low prices, and the fact that you get a decent but good quality product for the value.
A thing I like about Solteks mainboard would be their series based on the ”Glacier Silver” PCB. This really gives the user a great machine whenever you use a UV kit or so. To have a silver mainboard, it is very nice indeed.

I loved the mainboard from the moment I unpacked it from the box. Just the silver look itself, now that’s amazing. And the board’s layout is one of the finest I’ve seen to this date. Still, I was very nervous about the AMI BIOS regarding overclockability and so on. However, it seems that no problems occurred in this category. This mainboard is very stabile in both standard operations as well as in overclocking mode.
