Jetway board offers great monitoring options


It's been a while since I've seen a review of a Mini-ITX board that features VIA chips but that isn't made by VIA. This isn't a revew really, but a long blog entry by an "IT person" who has got himself a new Jeyway JNF76-N1G-LF P 1.0GHz. The little board has two big heatsinks for passive cooling of the VIA Nano U2300 1GHz 533 FBS processor and VX800 media system processor. It looks as though the BIOS is a bit of an improvement over the BIOS supplied with the VIA branded board of similar specs:

"What is more, pc health status shows much more information than in VB8001. It shows CPU and System temperatures what you can't find in the VB8001. There is also a possibility to set a shutdown temperature or thermal-throttling. And one more interesting feature is to show PC health status at boot. It means you can see temperatures and voltages values at boot in the POST screen."
