AMDMB.com Reviews the ABIT KV8-MAX3
Recommended by editors

December 23, 2003 –The Home for AMD based motherboards news, reviews and homebrews, AMDMB.com recently put the ABIT KV8-MAX3 through the paces and liked the results.

If features are your thing, the fully-loaded KV8-MAX3 is right up your alley: "The ABIT KV8-MAX3 motherboard has a good feature set, matching that of the other motherboards we have reviewed and adding a bit. ABIT has included GigABIT LAN, a 6-channel audio system...Firewire (up to 4 channels), USB 2.0 (up to 8 channels) and enough Serial ATA channels to keep you satisfied for a while: 6 in all."

The inclusion of OTES™ cooling impressed the editors: "The addition of the OTES cooling system for the MOSFETs and capacitors is an interesting addition, and those that plan to overclock their system will probably like the extra cooling that it offers...ABIT should be commended for a new idea that is already being mimicked at other manufacturers."

Here's what AMDMB.com had to say about µGuru™: "The µGuru hardware/software add-on turned out to be more useful than I originally expected. It's not a gimmick as I thought at first glance; the software actually worked and offered some useful features. The ability to overclock and update your BIOS through Windows is a welcome change for me for testing, and should be for enthusiasts as well. The Black Box is a good step for an industry that is looking to find new ways to support a continuingly broadening range of consumers."

The verdict? "I have no problems recommending the ABIT KV8-MAX3 motherboard to potential Athlon 64 buyers – it has the feature set, stability and support to rival any other motherboard on the market today. ABIT has once again given enthusiasts a motherboard that is fast and reliable and offers as much overclocking at the platform allows. Our congratulations go to ABIT."
