7/14/2004 – Enthusiasts that demand the absolute best performance choose ABIT more than any other brand. Top PC hardware site OCWorkbench took a close look at ABIT's latest offering – the AV8. With BulletProof stability and outstanding overclocking performance, ABIT's AV8 is highly recommended by OCWorkbench.

Here's OCWorkbench on AV8 overclocking ability: “Most importantly, this board comes with many nice overclocking features. That includes a large range of FSB and multiplier controls. Vcore, Vagp, Vdimm, Vchipset, HTT, North and South Bridge voltages can all be adjusted. The µGuru built onto the board takes care of the fan speed and μGuru has it's onboard memory that allows users to save their favorite overclocking settings for specific applications. OC Guru™ ups the ante with ABIT AutoDrive™, which allows you to have overclocking, voltage, and fan settings change automatically per application. Have the system lower fan speeds and noise levels when you are surfing the net, but automatically raise the FSB and crank the cooling up when you launch a 3D game. Only OC Guru™ with ABIT AutoDrive™ gives this level of control.”

The conclusion: “Overall, the ABIT AV8 is a board hard-core overclockers would want to get their hands on. If you own a Socket 939 processor and want to squeeze the last drop of performance off the CPU, this board is a good choice for you to start with.”
