For high frequency operation, especially overclocking, layout is
the most important factor to make sure chipset and CPU working
in stable condition. The layout of this motherboard implements
AOpen's unique design called " Frequency Isolation Wall".
Separating each critical portion of motherboard into regions where
each region operates in a same or similar frequency range to
avoid cross talk 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
