Lost Circuits Reviews the KV8-MAX3
"...the KV8-MAX3 is an excellent board."

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., December 2, 2003 - LostCircuits.com, one of the most informative and literate sites on the Internet about new computer hardware, has just completed an exhaustive review of the new ABIT KV8–MAX3 motherboard. Here are some highlights.

LostCircuits takes a look at some of the features found on the KV8-MAX3, including ABIT's new µGuru™ technology: "There are other boards out there as well but one of the hottest items for the new platform is none else but ABIT's KV8-MAX3 with a wealth of extra features from OTES to 4 channel SiliconImage SATA support and last not least the mysterious µGuru and "Black Box" features...What is µGuru really? Basically, µGuru is a hardware monitoring and configuration utility to provide a Windows based GUI along with tweak possibilities. µGuru in this case encompasses everything from voltage and frequency monitoring over fan regulation and audio configuration..."

The review is very detailed, including a section on the KV8-MAX3's sound capabilities: "ABIT is using the relatively new Realtek ALC658 with a better feature portfolio than the older ALC650, in short, the The ALC658 allows for operation of six 20-bit DAC (analog output) channels...Audio quality was overall very good, including positional audio for both horizontal and vertical cues. Needless to say that there were no issues with cackling and scratching in games either. In summary, the KV8-MAX3 deserves top grades for the audio quality."

The verdict? "At the end of any review like this, always the question pops up about what the real conclusions are. In this case, there are a few points that are easy made, first and foremost, the KV8-MAX3 is an excellent board."
