October 8, 2006 – abit has long been known as the avant-garde of the global overclocking community. The overclockability of abit motherboards is proof of their outstanding stability under regular usage conditions as well, and thereby underlines abit's commitment to overall stability and product longevity.
Tom's Hardware Guide, in their most recent overclocking frenzy, just stressed abit's engineering expertise once again by making the AB9 Pro their OC platform of choice:
"Because BIOS versions have such a large impact on overclocking, it's imperative for the builder to find up-to-date information on every motherboard he or she considers. While experimenting with the few boards we had on hand, we found optimal results with Universal abit's AB9 Pro with BIOS revision 1.4."
When writing your checklist for the next hardware shopping spree, you should not solely keep an eye on the obvious features of the motherboard but also take into consideration its feature-readiness. abit is renowned for making sure that upcoming and future products are fully supported, and on top of that giving the user a vast amount of flexibility to tune and tweak those features. Tom's just shows how it pays off not only for the hardcore techies:
"We have to congratulate Universal abit and Gigabyte, as the AB9 Pro and 3D Galaxy II combination brought us clock speeds far beyond our expectations, which were over 10% faster than what Intel's specifies for its fastest Core 2 Extreme X6800!"
With all these prerequisites the AB9 Pro opens up the possibilities for mind-blowing overclocks, turning an already strong CPU into a rather mighty one:
"56% Overclock Puts E6400 On Top"
The abit AB9 Pro is not only an overclocking champion; it is also a true storage marvel – a motherboard ready for a megastorage-platform with room for up to 1400 DVDs on a regular PC.
