The performance of Soltek FRN2-LR is about the same as the original FRN series, which is almost as fast as the fastest nF2 board. There are some variations in the results but they are within margin of error. By combining this level of performance with an exceptional overclocking potential and integrated SATA raid, Soltek FRN2-LR is one formidable contender in the socketA motherboard market
