Conclusion
HD content is the latest and greatest way to enlarge your carbon footprint and waste your afternoons, and the abit AN-M2HD does this perfectly. With HDMI, currently the best on-board graphics and optical out audio, this motherboard is perfect for a media PC.
The cooling is an issue, but only if you can’t use a separate graphics card, and its unlikely that you are going to buy this board to game with. The overclocking options are nice to see, and very easy to use although the cooling puts any world record attempts out the window.
The manual makes any noobie at home instantly, and anyone with interest but not the knowledge to build a PC will find this board a dream to install and set up.
With the downsides countable with only two fingers, this board scores a very well deserved nine. Take into account the £60 asking price and you have the perfect media PC motherboard.
