VIA K8T800 Based AMD Athlon 64 Mainboard
FSB800, AGP 8X, SATA RAID
ABIT μGuru Technology
Overview
With OTES™ cooling and exclusive µGuru™ cooling technology,
the KV8 takes the best features of the KV8-MAX3, and puts it in an affordable
package for the Athlon 64 enthusiast. The KV8 is based on the same VIA
K8T800 chipset of its more expensive sibling, and packs cutting edge features
including 2 Channel SATA RAID (0/1) and 6 channel audio with a professional
digital audio interface supporting S/PDIF In and Out. What's more, Gigabit
LAN and ABIT's SoftMenu rounds out an already impressive package.
Features
In the interests of cooling and performance, OTES has been redesigned
to cool the hottest part of a motherboard: the PWM power regulation mosfets
and capacitors.
Designed by the ABIT Engineers, μGuru combines the
ABIT Engineered features ABIT EQ, ABIT FanEQ, ABIT OC Guru, ABIT FlashMenu,
ABIT AudioEQ and ABIT BlackBox into a user-friendly interface providing
users the perfect environment with which to maximize performance and stability.
Connect digitally to today's hottest audio peripherals for crystal-clear
sound quality.
1600MHz Hyper Transport technology increases bandwidth
and improves overall system performance.
Lets you easily connect to the world wide web at high
speeds without having to buy a separate 10/100/1000 Ethernet card.
Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA storage
interface. This new high-speed interface boosts data transfer rates to
up to 150 MB/sec. More flexible power tolerances allow for smaller and
more efficient cables.
Lets you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy
advanced sound cards.
Supports speeds up to 480 Mb/sec, approximately forty times faster
than conventional USB 1.1.
The overclocking functions include CPU frequency, Vcore, multiplier
and memory voltage adjustment to maximize your system performance.
AGP 8X standard for enhanced graphics performance.
