NeoSeeker has posted a Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Motherboard review.



The Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra has a very clean, very functional layout that’s got an answer to nearly every complaint a reviewer and user might have for clichéd layout problems. The board is very spacious; this is obvious after only a cursory inspection of the layout. What’s more, the RAM slots are far enough away from the AGP slot that you can add and remove RAM without having to also remove your video card. This is a major plus right there. The primary IDE slots are high on the board, placing them closer to your case’s drive bays, and the CPU has a nice clearance on 3 of the 4 sides. On the last side, there is a row of large capacitors. While the clearance between the this row of capacitors and our cooler was greater than what you’d find on other boards, I’d still say it was a little too close comfort. On the other hand, Soyo neatly sidestepped the biggest headache associated with rows of capacitors by leaving a gap right where the Ziff arm locks onto the CPU socket. Quite neat actually.
