For high frequency operation, especiall
y
overclocking, layout is the most importan
t
factor to make sure chipset and CPU
working in stable condition. The layout o
f
this motherboard implements AOpen’s
unique design called “ Frequenc
y
Isolation Wall”. Separating each critical
portion of motherboard into regions where
each region operates in a same or simila
r
frequency range to avoid crosstalk and
frequency interference between each
region’s operations and condition. The
trace length and route must be calculated
carefully. For example, the clock trace
must be equal length (not necessarily as
short as possible) so that clock skew will
be controlled within few a pico second
(1/10
12
Sec)
