• Dual Graphics H/W CF: Use DMS-59 cable to connect two CrossFire compatible X1950, X1900, X1800,

X850, X800 Master and Slave cards for running in dual mode. S/W CF: Two Standard X1600 and X1300 for running dual mode without any connection

cable. • Single Graphics Just insert an nVidia or ATI graphics card into the first PCI-E (Master) slot.

SB heatsink quickly dissipates heat The heat pipe attaches the NB to absorb and condense heat rapidly

Why abit is No. 1Why abit is No. 1 Silent OTES Design

The heat pipe condense heat from NB to PWM via copper fin-heatsink to dissipate heat as well as though CPU fan airflow to exhaust thermal out of computer case.

One single SMT Power Inductor stands temp. up to 135°C

Mini sized ceramic capacitors: - Longevity and higher stability - Bear higher voltage- Reducing a capacitor’s own high- frequency, less electrical noise on the entire circuitry.

Digital PWM benefits: 1. abit BIOS or uGuru utility can learn CPU cu

rrent and each phase PWM’s temperature.2. Lower temperature without higher caps to obstruct CPU fan air flow

Digital PWM controller,digital filter•Control; efficiency; stabilized voltage; handle heavy data through higher CPU clock•Exactly control setting between 0 and ultimate position to avoid components error in a CPU clock scope.

Improve overall system performance

Lower temperature and stable environment.

Better power management

Suitable power supply based on disperse electricity

Provides complex power control’s solution

Support multiple switch in different power switch system

CCMOS Switch/Power ResetCCMOS Switch/Power Reset

Clear CMOS Memory:

Step 1: Shot down system then turn off power supply Step 2: Switch CCMOS from default right to left side for clear memory then switch to right side to reboot

CCMOS Switch

This unique feature allows users to clear the CMOS memory without the

inconvenience of having to enter the system's case.

Power Reset

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 to test the board

without short-circuiting the wrong pins.

Power Reset:
