Conclusion

The SOYO KT333 Dragon Ultra is as fast as a flying dragon. Although it is labelled as the Dragon board, we found that it performs above average among the pack of boards we tested. The only factor that we take into consideration is that the FSB is a bit higher at 133.98Mhz FSB.

The board is the most feature rich board I have ever seen. 6 ch audio support, Highpoint HPT372 ATA-133 RAID 0/1/0+1. The bundled free E-box is quite an add on to the feature set, but it is a pity that it doesn't provide monitoring of CPU FAN speed, temperature like the ASUS probe. On overclocking, we tested the overclocking and were able to run it steadily at 150Mhz FSB using an AthlonXP 1500+ o/c to 1800+ using normal timings (defaults are set to maximum performance). We did try to overclock our unlocked AthlonMP1.2G, it went up to 166Mhz easily. Anything above that was not possible and this could be due to the quality of the CPU. There is also an overclocking software tool.

Installation is very straightforward, there is ample space around the CPU and I think most of the heatsinks should have no issues fitting onto it. The software installation went ahead without problems.

This board is priced at USD166 and is available now.

Jammer dat de Vcore niet hoger als 1.85 gaat terwijl andere kt333 boardjes dat wel doen

ik heb dit bord laten importeren uit amerika maar dan wel de platinum versie dit bord loopt echt wel lekker

ik heb ergens gelezen dat soyo extra lang heeft gewacht op de release van hun borden met de kt333 omzo eerst te kijken of andere fabrikanten geen bugs hebben.

en ja dit bord wordt echt kompleet geleverd zit zelfs koelpasta bij!!!
