    New Generation
    Digital PWM    		 - cool and stable for a longer life
    abit_Digital-PWM
    With the new Smart-Slave technology the power switch frequency can effectively be quadrupled over conventional PWMs. Digital PWMs offer most precise and consistent voltage supply for reduced power consumption, less heat and increased components' life. New Generation Digital PWMs provide maximum accuracy for the best computing experience ever, noise interferences are avoided and energy efficiency is highly increased by realizing ideal resistance ratings (low RDS) during charge-discharge power switching.

    100% Low ESR Solid State
    Capacitors    		 -For Best Stability
    esr_ix48
    These advanced capacitors consist of conductive polymer and therefore offer a vast range of advantages such as higher temperature tolerance, higher ripple current and improved frequency characteristics over conventional electrolytic capacitors.

        * 100% Solid State Capacitors
        * Best CPU and Memory Performance and Overclockability
    Onboard On/Off
    & Reset Buttons    		 - Installation and testing is a snap
    abit_Power-Reset
    The onboard on/off and reset switches allow for testing your system before installing into your case
    EZ CCMOS Buttonn - Get back on track with ease
    abit_CCMOS
    Clear the CMOS directly from the back panel, using abit’s innovative new EZ button. If you are pushing your hardware to the extreme and experiment with risky settings, you now have an easy and convenient way to go back to safe ground.
    2x e-SATA 3Gb/s - Fast and Flexible
    abit_eSATA
    e-SATA is a new standard for external storage devices. With an external data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s. No other external data transfer solution can compete in speed and ease of use.
    Right Angle SATA Connectors - More convenience and ease
    abit_sata
    Keeping cables neatly arranged at the motherboard edges prevents any possible obstructions for add-on cards by the SATA-cables.
