 December 5, 2005 – Bit-Tech, a leading UK review website took our AN8 SLI board for a spin. They were more than impressed and lauded our efforts loudly.
The BIOS and tweakability were particularly impressive: "ABIT use the ever popular Award BIOS, although integrating their renowned μGuru clock into this. For enthusiasts they integrate tons of voltage and tweaking options for your eternal twiddling needs…we applaud the fantastic range of BIOS options, especially for voltage options and memory timing tweakability that will literally knock you off your chair."
The adjustments and setting options that ABIT includes is astounding, with almost every conceivable adjustment within the BIOS available: "If that wasn't enough to wet your whistle and cook your silicon, ABIT also include an additional voltage set for CPU and memory to +/- 100mV, should you feel the need to put 1.95V or 3.5V through your CPU or RAM, just in case you fear you haven't quite totally obliterated your components quite enough. Indeed, this will please everyone up to and including the extreme phase change boys who are always desperate for wasting thousand dollar CPU's trying to simultaneously cook and freeze the latest hardware at seemingly improbable MHz.
Also, there is a multitude of DDR options for you to tweak - this should keep you busy until well into next year. …We're sure that some of you will be pleased to know that there is also an auto option that automatically selects the best settings for your memory modules, determined by the SPD chip on the modules. It is also possible to tweak individual settings, while leaving others set to auto select. Finally, there is the usual voltage, temperature and fan speed monitoring courtesy of μGuru BIOS and windows software."
The conclusion: "As an air cooled overclockers motherboard, this board does its job remarkably well."
