ABIT annuncia una nuova linea di schede madri "Engineered AMD", caratterizzate dall'introduzione di alcune feature studiate appositamente per coloro i quali desiderano spingere il proprio computer ai limiti dell'overclock.

Le schede ABIT AMD sono dotate di tutte le feature che gli ingegneri ABIT usano nei loro test. La tecnologia ABIT Engineered, utilizzata per creare la linea ABIT AMD, fornisce un FSB altamente overcloccabile, 5 bit FID, Voltaggi Garantiti, Soluzione 3 Phase Power e Hardware Thermal Protection della CPU.

Le serie KD7 e NF7 sono dotate di serial ATA RAID, ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, 10/100 LAN e Firewire.

Riportiamo un estratto dalla press-release ufficiale:

Front Side Bus
Only ABIT allows for the Front Side Bus to be adjusted up to 237 MHz-at least 17 MHz higher than the closest competition.
5 Bit Frequency ID (FID)
This overclocker friendly FSB is made possible through ABIT's use of a 5-bit Frequency ID (FID), allowing the FSB multiplier to be adjusted from 5-21. Other motherboards use a 4-bit FID, meaning the FSB multiplier can only be adjusted from 3-13, resulting in higher possible overclocks on the FSB.
Guaranteed Voltage Settings
ABIT allows for more voltage adjustments than the competition. Voltage can be adjusted in the CPU, as well as DDR memory and the chipset. While other motherboards may offer higher voltage adjustments, only ABIT guarantees that all of our settings will work
3 Phase Power solution
The reason for ABIT's guaranteed overclockabity. ABIT's 3-phase power solution is back. This ABIT Engineered solution ensures more power to the CPU (up to 75W) while overclocking, providing rock-solid system stability. This means fewer crashes for ABIT users and higher overclocks
ABIT CPU Hardware Thermal Protection
ABIT CPU H.T.P Technology hardware is designed for the ABIT AT7-MAX2/KD7 and NF7 series motherboards to prevent CPU burn-out through a hardware cooling malfunction. Your CPU is protected against the unexpected.
ABIT Soft Menu
ABIT's AMD line is designed to be tweaked to the MAX, with the richest overclocking features available in ABIT Softmenu™ and the most stable platforms to push the limits on.
