Solid State Capacitors - For Best Stability
The tolerance is above the call of duty and exceeds 350°C. Ideally the lifespan is 40,000 hrs under 85°C, more than 10 times a normal capacitors life expectancy. Truly abit engineered to regulate and temper the pulse of the beast within.

* 100% Japanese Made Solid State Capacitors
* Best CPU and Memory Performance and Overclockability

Digital PWM - cool and stable for a longer life
With abit's digital PWM controller there is more efficiency at a stabilized voltage, which can handle heavy data throughput at higher CPU clock speeds. In addition the digital PWM disperses and manages power better, providing complex power solutions with multiple switch options. Enhancing the longevity and durability of motherboard's components.

Onboard On/Off Switch - installation and testing is a snap
No more meddling with Power and Reset jumpers on the board. The Power and Reset buttons are built onboard. It is easy for DIY users and system integrators to test the board without having to short-circuit.

External CCMOS Switch - get back on track with ease
Clear the CMOS memory directly from the back panel, using abit's innovative new EZ switch. So if you are pushing your hardware to the extreme and experiment with risky settings, you now have a an easy and convenient way to go back to save grounds.

HDMI Ready Header
Unique HDMI Audio header provides audio output to HDMI VGA card, which allows the system to connect HDMI devices. Each VGA card sold with HDMI capabilities needs access to the audio header to become a true HDMI (Full HD Video and 5.1 surround sound) port.

2 x eSATA - fast & fiexible
eSATA is a new standard for external storage devices. With an external data transfer rate of up to 3 Gb/s no other external data transfer solution can compete with speed and ease of use.
