May 11, 2005 – Today ABIT is pleased to announce its latest innovation, the Guru Panel. A feature rich device designed to give gamers rapid and unrestricted access to all the features they are ever likely to require during the heat of battle. Everything from hardware monitoring to overclocking can be controlled through this module without the need to enter the main screen. There's even an option to clear the CMOS memory should the need arise.
The Guru Panel is much more than a multimedia device, it's a gamer's best friend. While immersed in their favourite game, the Guru Panel is hard at work monitoring hardware, looking out for new emails, generally ensuring gamers stay up to date with what's going on around them.

Feature Overview |
Instant OC
Instant Overclocking gives Guru Panel users direct access to pre-set overclocking levels without the disruption of having to enter any OC utilities. Now gamers have the best of both worlds, uninterrupted access to both factory and user defined overclock settings without the need to leave the game they're playing.
Hardware Monitoring
The Guru Panel collects a wealth of information, the N/B temperature, CPU fan speed, memory voltage, even the time and room temperature don't escape its watchful eye.
CMOS Memory Clearing
This unique feature allows users to clear the CMOS memory without the inconvenience of having to enter the system's case. A clearly labeled flap protects the button against accidental operation. |
This three button setup allows users to navigate with ease between the panel's many functions
