Fan Noise & Overclocking »Rightmark Audio Analyzer
We used Rightmark Audio Analyzer together with a loop-back cable to analyze the quality of the on-board audio solution.
Summary
| Frequency response (from 40 Hz to 15 kHz), dB: | +0.25, -0.32 | Good |
| Noise level, dB (A): | -85.6 | Good |
| Dynamic range, dB (A): | 85.4 | Good |
| THD, %: | 0.0090 | Very good |
| IMD, %: | 0.067 | Good |
| Stereo crosstalk, dB: | -83.0 | Very good |
| IMD at 10 kHz, %: | 0.106 | Average |
General performance: Good
When it comes to on-board audio quality, the ABIT AT8's audio is among the best boards.
