Hothardware Warms up to the ABIT AN8 32X
"AN8 32X is a great high-end gaming motherboard"

13 April 2006 – Hothardware are famous for trustworthy reviews giving insightful knowledge on industry news: "The "new" ABIT, now under the name Universal ABIT Co., is looking to re-build its customer base and foothold in the high-end / overclocking motherboard market. It's certainly an uphill battle, but many have fond memories of older Abit products, and the ABIT name still remains one of the most well known throughout the motherboard industry."

The silent cooling solution called Silent OTES™ gives this board durability second to none: "Powerful as it is, the nForce4 SLI X16 chipset also runs quite hot. The chipset is broken up into two separate chips, each of which supports a dedicated set of PCI Express lanes to utilize. The chips are cooled through passive methods with ABIT's "Silent OTES" (Outside Thermal Exhaust System), which works in conjunction with a heatpipe which helps move heat over the layout of the board. The Southbridge component produces the lion's share of heat, and its heat is routed through the heatpipe through a large blue heatsink on the top left section of the motherboard."

The awesome heat meter score of 8 was concluded with: "Performance is solid … As a whole the ABIT AN8 32X is a great high-end gaming motherboard which we would not hesitate to recommend … solid boards like this from ABIT will help them re-claim their stake in the high-end enthusiast market"
