Forum3D
www.forum-3d.de/...
30. Okt. 2002
Forum3D-Auszeichnung: Gesamtnote: 1,7
Durch den sehr guten Preis und die gute Leistung ein TOP-Produkt.

Overclocking: sehr gut 
Bios/Stabilität: sehr gut 
Preis/Leistung: sehr gut 
Verarbeitung/Optik: gut 
Ausstattung: gut 

Pro:
+ Preis/Leistung
+ viele Slots 
+ Stabilität
+ Overclockingmöglichkeiten
+ guter Onboard-Sound

Das Shuttle AK35GT2R ist ein sehr gutes Board. Es überzeugt vor allem durch gutes Layout, optimalen Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten dank vieler Steckplätze sowie guten Overclockingmöglichkeiten. Auch in den Benchmarks zeigte das Board eine gute Performance. Das allerbeste ist jedoch der wirklich gute Preis z.B. im Vergleich zu einem KT333-Board ASUS. Der Preis von rund 110 Euro ist schon als Schnäppchen einzustufen. Wer also ein sehr günstiges, aber trotzdem zuverlässiges Sockel-A-Raid-System aufbauen möchte, der ist mit Shuttle´s AK35GT2R bestens bedient. Die Boardvariante ohne Raid liegt bei ca. 99Euro. Der Onboard-Sound ist ordentlich und spart dem Normaluser das Geld für eine extra Soundkarte. (...)
Insgesamt hinterlässt das Mainboard bei uns einen hervorragenden Eindruck - die positiven Punkte überwiegen eindeutig. Vor allem User, die ohnhin auf externe Soundkarten, LAN u.s.w. verzichten, kommen voll auf Ihre Kosten. Durch ausreichend Steckplätze wird dem Hobbybastler einiges an Möglichkeiten geboten. Auch Overclockerherzen schlagen bei einer CPU-Spannung von mehr als 2,3 V höher. So viel Potenzial beitet keiner der Konkurrenten.

Translation:

Overall rating: 1.7 (Best is 1.0, worst is 6.0)

AK35GT2R is a top product due to its good price/performance ratio.
Overclocking: very good
Bios/Stability: very good

PCHardware Romania: "Lower prize - better performance"

Lower price - better performance

Abit KX7-333 vs. Shuttle AK35GT2R: (...) It’s quite obvious that KX7 and AK35GT2R target to the same market even if they have a different price. AK35GT2R is 20 bucks cheaper than KX7. For this amount the differences between KX7 and AK35GT2R may not seem so important. The fact that AK35GT2R was able to outperform KX7 in several tests is an important victory for Shuttle guys. In terms of reliability motherboards are quite identical (...) none of the two boards crashed even once. That’s a strong warranty for someone looking for a KT333 board, these babies are rock solid! I have to remember you that AK35GT2R is a little more memory tolerant than KX7, if you have different memory modules AK35GT2R will accept them better. SoftMenu III features are still superior to Shuttle tries to implement quality soft based tweaking into their BIOSes. But I have to agree that AK35GT2R BIOS features are very good, very soon Shuttle will be able to compete with Abit in this area. But AK35GT2R has an advantage over KX7 (at least for hardcore overclockers): the ability to increase the CPU voltage up to 2.3V. Personally I think that Abit engineers were afraid to include over 1.85V settings due to the high danger of damaging the CPU and voltage regulator design limits.
If you have a lot of money you can go and buy KX7-333 with no hesitation but if your budget is limited I fully recommend AK35GT2R; it’s one hell of a board. Shuttle are running on the right way, they proved this with the motherboard reviewed today, a slightly improved version of AK35GTR.

AK35GT2R received Chip Tip in Romania

With the version called GT2R of the line AK35, Shuttle succeeds to build a perfectly equilibrated mainboard. The preformance, ergonomy and features are not "the best there is", but they are high enough to make us say that you could hardly find all three of them at these levels on any other motherboard. The chipset used here is KT333 from VIA (the "2" from the name of the board is justified, because of AK35GTR wich was build with KT266A), and this chipset is a clear winner for VIA and for the boardmakers, as well.

More than good solution
Beside Socket A , there are 4 slots for DDR memory (for maximum of 4GB , non-ECC) , AGP 4x , more that enough PCI slots (six of them!) and integrated 5.1 sound support based on C-Media 8738 sound controller. There is also a buzzer on the mainboard, a very good solution if you don't have standard PC speaker inside the case. There is also a similar model of mainboard , called AK35GT2R , which provides an ATA 133 RAID controller. This mainboard worked very good on every test we've run and with all kinds of processors. The BIOS is Award PnP, version 6.0 and it is very easy to configure. The overclockers will also respect this model because of little steps for FSB frequency increase (1Mhz) and also because of FSB multiplier which ranges from 5 to 14 , and CPU voltage. (...) All in all , this is very good and stable mainboard with acceptable price. If you want a computer with AMD CPU, this more than good solution for that.

An excellent product. Shuttle reaffirm its reputation of excellent hardware's component producer and also of integrated systems (found book reviews of aluminum barebone here, as an example).

The card in issue, AK35GT2R, is a JEWEL under every point of view! Dimensions, performances, component disposition and absolute stability! Obviously, this last voice depends also on you: you will have to choose the type of memory well to use, and to set up the bios correctly, in order not to obtain disliked been strange. In our sessions of test we have not had an only crash!

The expanbility is exceptional! 4 slot for DDR memories it is not easy to find them on other motherboards, 6 PCI slot and controller RAID. The good integrated audio chip with separated bass station channel will allow you to save on the audio cost of one separated card. 4 USB ports are more than sufficient in order to manage external peripherals. We appreciated it a lot more if there are USB 2.0 instead of USB 1.1.

+ Good performances in the graphic tests and in the management of the memories
+ Good disposition of the components
+ Optimal stability
+ Optimal expandibility
+ Integrated RAID Controller 
+ Integrated audio of good quality 
+ Overclocking tools
+ Good equipment (manual of exceptional quality)

Fazit und Empfehlungen
Shuttle präsentiert mit der eigenen KT333-Version eine Fortführung des Konzeptes, welches auch schon die KT266A-Variante gezeigt hat - das Mainboard bietet eine hervorragende Erweiterbarkeit dank vier Dimm-Sockeln und sechs PCI bei gleichzeitig guter Performance (...) Hinzu kommt Shuttle-typisch ein extrem guter Preis (...) Wer also ein sehr günstiges, aber trotzdem zuverlässiges Sockel-A-System aufbauen möchte, der ist mit Shuttle´s AK35GT2 bestens bedient, denn das Board auch auch eine sehr gute Stabilität gezeigt. Der Onboard-Sound ist zudem ordentlich und kann durchaus genutzt werden, wenn keine Soundkarte zum Einsatz kommen kann. (...) ideal für den Overclocker - mehr als 2.3V CPU-Spannung bekommt man aktuell mit keinem anderen KT333-Mainboard.
  • Gute Stabilität, gutes Bios
  • Ordentliche Overclocking-Fähigkeiten
  • Gute Erweiterbarkeit dank 6 PCI und 4 Dimm
  • 5.1 fähiger Digitalsound Onboard
  • ordentliche Performance

Great value ... 9 out of 10

(...) the KT333 motherboards all perform identically (...) all of the boards are showing the same stability in the tests and burn-ins. So, how many features do you need and what are you willing to pay for it? That is what the motherboard question is down to at this point in time. (...) Shuttle has a big advantage on the DIY market because of their prices. (...) Overall though, the Shuttle AK35GT line of boards is a great option for those that don’t need all the accessories on their motherboard, and still want a good performing and overclocking board.

Günstig für das gebotene!
Kein unnötiger Schnickschnack (aber) 4 DDR-SDRAM Bänke und 6 PCI-Slots. (...) Die Speicherkompatibilität, geprüft mit unseren vorhandenen Modulen aus Hause Micron, Crucial, Infineon und Corsair, war hervorragend. Die Mischbestückung machte dem Motherboard nicht die geringste Mühe. (...) Auch war es uns lediglich beim Shuttle Board möglich, unseren ungelockten Athlon XP 1500+ einigermaßen stabil bei 166 MHz FSB zu betreiben. Beim SOYO führte dies sofort zu Abstürzen (...) Speicherperformance: Das SOYO Board liegt in diesem Vergleich in etwa gleich auf mit dem MSI KT3 Ultra, wohingegen der Shuttle Vertreter mehr oder wenig deutlich über den beiden liegt und bereits an die Werte des Referenzsystems heranreicht. (...) Shuttle liefert ganz hervorragende Leistungen im Bereich Overclocking und zeigte sich durchaus in den Tests solide (...) Für das AK35GT2 konnten wir einen durchschnittlichen Straßenpreis von ca. 130 € ermitteln - ein wirklich günstiger Preis für das gebotene.

Conclusion: 98 out of 100
Shuttle has once again impressed me with one of their boards. Once being an unknown manufacturer, Shuttle is now becoming well known up there with Abit and Asus. The kicker about the AK35GT2 is the price. If you can find me a better board with all the features the AK35GT2 has for less then #90, feel free to tell me. But shooting for a retail price of #90, the AK35GT2 looks to be a winner. When it comes to overclocking, the AK35GT2 can deliver with up to 2.3 volts VCORE and up to 225 MHz FSB in 1 MHz increments. Though I haven’t really overclocked much the board much, I was able to get my MP1800+ running at 2100+ (1.7 GHz) with a 166 MHz FSB (...) In the end, the AK35GT2 with it’s onboard ATA133/RAID, C-Media 5.1 sound, and great overclocking features, looks to be a winner with the enthusiast crowd due to price/features/performance ratio as it is able to beat out the Abit AT7. Shuttle has once again released another low price board that’s able to compete with the higher end products.

Pros: Overclocking Features, ATA133/RAID, C-Media 5.1 Audio, up to 2.3 volts VCORE, 6 PCI slots
Low price, Great performer

Lost circuits

1st May 2002
For those who look for the best bang for the money, the AK35GT2/R is definitely worth looking at.

Conclusion: At stock speed, the AK35GT2/R is incredibly fast, as long as good quality memory is used at the 166 MHz setting and low latencies. Moreover, in terms of stability, we had zero complaints, in fact, the board ran throughout the entire testing period without crashes except for the somewhat inexplicable spontaneous reboots after launching of SiSoft Sandra. The #64,000 question is always, where this board would be positioned in the market. The price is right, or actually, the price can hardly be beaten, an anticipated street price in the high seventies for the non-RAID version and mid eighties for the RAID version are something we only know from SIS735-chipset based boards and from this point of view, the AK35GT2/R delivers pretty much unparalleled price/performance ratio. Add the fact that these boards are really hard to kill, at least under standard operating conditions and despite all shortcomings, the board starts to look even more attractive. (...)

Following it's predcessor's footsteps, the AK35GTR revision 2.2 from Shuttle is a great performing board (...) the AK35GTR v2.2 produced very good scores from all the benchmarks. Memory scores from Sandra were good too. Like the original AK35GTR (KT266A), the BIOS options available for overclockers is great. Vcore can be adjusted upto 2.3 volts, there's also options to adjust DDR voltages too. Other options include FSB adjustments @ 1Mhz increments, and multipliers upto x12.5. Reaching 160FSB is now hurdle at all ... I was able to overclock my Athlon XP1600+ to 1.68Ghz (10.5x160) ... great. (...) Final words: If you're after a KT333 motherboard with good features and performance, but on a limited budget ... the Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2 offers excellent value for money. You won't be disappointed.

Conclusion: In terms of board features, Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2 has pretty good features like ATA133 support, full expansivity of 6 PCI and 4 Dimm slots, HighPoint 372 RAID supporting RAID 0, 1, 0+1, CMedia 6 Channel Audio for 5.1 sound configuration. (...) is considered very cheaply priced when compared to other brands. In terms of overclockability, Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2 possess quite an overclockable BIOS that has settings such as VCore voltage of up to 2.30V which is more than enough for a very decent overclock, VMem up to 2.7V which improve stability during high FSB overclocking but most preferably if Shuttle can increase it to 3V and a FSB of up to 200Mhz in 1Mhz interval which will satisfy most overclockers. (...) In terms of performance, Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2 perform closely to the current fastest KT333 board EPoX 8K3A+ so it can be considered a very good performing board with its price tag. A greater performance gain can be derived from gaming aspect when compared against a KT266A board so it will be wise to get this board for gaming. (...)

Certainly anyone on the upgrade path to a KT333 based board would do no wrong in purchasing the Shuttle AK35GTR Revision 2.2 motherboard and once again it falls into the low cost high performance category and no doubt this will keep Shuttle Inc at the top end of the enthusiast choice for mainboards again in 2002. Also you can bet what ever Via release in the future Shuttle will be amongst the first mainboard manufacturers to make the new future chipset technology available at a cost which is affordable and respectable.

Gold Award 2002
rating: 4.8 out of 5

Conclusion: The Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2 has amazingly great performance. In terms of Content Creation it's one of the top notch performer. As for gaming and graphical applications, we can see the results in 3dmark2001 and Quake3 that it tops the charts among the KT333 and KT266A. 
Features-wise
, this board has one of the best features, 6 ch audio support, Highpoint HPT372 ATA-100 RAID 0/1/0+1. It also included overclocking features in the BIOS. 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. e.g. 1T cmd). (...) 
In conclusion, this board is rich with features. The disappointment is the absence of LAN port. Overall, the Shuttle AK35GTR v2.x brings the AK35GTR to another level with the implementation of KT333 chipset on it. As usual, Shuttle boards are usually quite cheap. It would definitely be a good buy.
