 March 23, 2007 – Universal abit was recently awarded the "Best Performance"Award by TweakTown editors, and not without good reason. abit impressed with all the features and excellent workmanship, not to mention the continued commitment to superior components for a superior product: "under the Universal abit brand name, the bad ass attitude of abit is back with a vengeance… abit was the first motherboard manufacturer to design …OTES which is essentially a heat pipe system that removes heat from the Northbridge and voltage regulation systems and vents it external to the case through special holes in the rear I/O plate - AB9 QuadGT has a new silent version, it is an all copper design rather than alloy…The heatsinks and pipes cool the 5 phase voltage system that powers the CPU and the Northbridge though an interconnected heatpipe. Since the ICH8R doesn't generate enough heat to warrant an extra pipe system, it is simply passively cooled. Active cooling isn't required since the heat pipes will be cooled by the CPU fan and from other air flow within the case and this helps in building a system which is quiet as possible…Again like some recent abit motherboards, the QuadGT features all solid state capacitors made in Japan which is more expensive than regular types."
 Universal abit continually monitors customer feedback and improves where-ever possible: "Finally abit has really listened and started to put boards out that people want, not telling people what they want. The latest P965 motherboard from abit not only see dual graphics support but further additions such as an extra e.SATA port, better heat pipe cooling, better stability and durability through the use of solid state capacitors and digital PWM and the list goes on."
TweakTown knows what they are talking about when it comes to hardware, and in this review they are definitely impressed: "the great performance, very impressive features and solid package and we'd be silly not to recommend the abit AB9 QuadGT in a very high regard. It's up there as one of the best Intel P965 motherboards on the market and it's also cheaper."
