“Over the years at Phoronix there have been reviews on
many Tyan motherboards for desktops, servers, and workstations. The
build quality of these motherboards have always been very good;
after all, Tyan has been around for two decades and their
workstation/server products must be very dependable if they wish to
maintain their premiere position within the industry. The Linux
compatibility with the motherboards has also been generally quite
good due to its dominant use on their operating systems. As our
first Tyan review for 2010 we are looking at the S2915 n6650W and
S2927 n3600B motherboards. Both motherboards are designed for AMD’s
Opteron 2000 series processors and have a similar feature set, but
there are a few key differences between these two high-end
workstation motherboards.“Both motherboards arrived in the standard Tyan motherboard
boxes that we have been used to seeing their products housed in for
years. Along with each motherboard was the usual assortment of
Serial ATA data cables, an IDE ribbon cable, FDD ribbon cable, USB
2.0 expansion slot connectors, 4-pin molex to Serial ATA power
adapters, the user’s manual, and other accessories.”
