ABIT's AA8-DuraMAX Wins Award @ Hard|OCP
New ABIT overclocking dynamo is Must Have Hardware

July 21, 2004 – Enthusiasts that demand the absolute best performance choose ABIT more than any other brand. Top PC hardware site Hard|OCP took a close look at ABIT's latest offering – the AA8-DuraMAX. With BulletProof stability and outstanding overclocking performance, the folks at Hard|OCP saw it fitting to bestow the AA8-DuraMAX with their coveted Must Have Hardware Award.

Here's Hard|OCP on AA8-DuraMAX stability: "My initial thoughts are that the ABIT AA8- DuraMAX is one of the most stable boards that we've have had the pleasure of testing in a while. I had absolutely no problems during any phase of testing with this board and am actually quite surprised since this board does have such cutting-edge technology abundantly sprinkled about its surface. This board further proves ABIT's continued domination in a marketplace that is becoming fierce with terrific competition...If you have to have the latest and greatest, then this is definitely the board for you."

BulletProof quality goes a long way: "The most important thing to remember about the ABIT AA8 is that it worked exactly like it should every step of the way and quality like that out of the box is worth a lot now days. ABIT is easily asserting themselves as a major force to be reckoned with in the world of motherboards. They have simply gotten better and better at what they are doing over the last two years and that brings with it fierce brand loyalty which already rang true along with the ABIT name."

The verdict? "The ABIT AA8-DuraMAX has stepped up to the plate and proven to be a very worthy enthusiast motherboard. The AA8 handles the high power Prescott CPUs much more eloquently than many of the aging i875 chipset motherboards we have seen that were technically not up to Prescott spec. The AA8 offers all the voltage tweaks you could possibly need on a i925X motherboard including CPU, Ram, and northbridge. To our knowledge this i925X chipset will be supporting Intel's upcoming 1066MHz bus speed, so we thought 266MHz FSB was a sure thing although we have yet to see any 925X board that would do it. That aside, the ABIT AA8 hardly let us down and let us make 750MHz of extra power with very little effort whatsoever and we felt comfortable doing it. The ABIT AA8 was simply made to overclock."

ABIT's Advanced Durability brings greater responsibility to the motherboard manufacturers in creating durable products with quality, reliability and stability engineered for long-term, problem-free use. All of ABIT motherboards are Advanced Durability tested and approved. ABIT looks to all motherboard makers to make a similar durability commitment to the end-user.
