January 17, 2005 – ABIT's legendary performance and stability have won the hearts of PC enthusiasts the world over. In the January 2005 issue of Custom PC, the editors selected ABIT's AA8-3^rd Eye, KV8 Pro-3^rd Eye, and AV8-3^rd Eye motherboards for their Socket 775, Socket 754, and Socket 939 categories respectively – a clean sweep for ABIT!

Editors loved the overclocking ability of the AA8-3rd Eye: "The Intel 925X-based AA8 has now evolved a '3^rd Eye', and is even better. The 3^rd Eye reports fan speeds and voltages, and can switch between pre-programmed overclocking profiles. The AA8 is the best LGA775 motherboard available."

Value for money tipped the scales in favor of the KV8 Pro-3^rd Eye: "ABIT's KV8 Pro is based on VIA's K8T800 Pro chipset, so it has all the options that overclockers need. The excellent 3rd Eye unit helps manage overclocking profiles. At a shade over £70, this motherboard is absolutely amazing value for money. Combine it with a Sempron 3100+ chip and some high-speed memory and you'll be set for weeks of overclocking fun with excellent performance...Great value and a terrific overclocker." The KV8 Pro-3rd Eye was also reviewed in this issue, and won Custom PC's Premium Grade Approved Award!

Editors were especially impressed with the BIOS options on the AV8-3rd Eye: "The AV8 is based around the VIA K8T800 Pro chipset. There's S-ATA RAID and six-channel on-board audio. It's the first truly overclocking-friendly Athlon 64 motherboard, as it's capable of locking both the AGP and PCI buses. The 3^rd Eye is a small LCD display that plugs into the motherboard. It displays system information, and enables you to switch between different BIOS profiles without having to reboot."

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.
