abit Introduces the AB9 QuadGT Motherboard






abit today announced their latest Intel P965 chipset based motherboard for Core 2 Quad/Duo processors, the abit AB9 QuadGT. This motherboard has been specifically engineered for and around LGA775 quad-core CPUs with up to 1066 MHz FSB. It is equipped with abit's powerful µGuru technology for extensive hardware monitoring and control. The extreme tuning and overclocking capabilities of this exclusively abit engineered microchip stands unsurpassed in the industry. With the New Year, abit also ushers in an entirely new generation of extreme computing.





Cool, Stable, Efficient and Extreme
The AB9 QuadGT is geared towards extreme performance. Accompanying the native support for Intel's latest quad-core and Extreme Edition CPUs, abit took measures for an even higher performance potential to be explored by the users themselves. A 6-layer board layout equipped with 100% Japanese made solid state capacitors and ceramic digital PWMs warrant the best electrical characteristics under the most stable currents. abit's patented Silent OTES convection heat-pipe design keeps the Northbridge as well as the digital PWMs efficiently cool. These abit engineered features prolong your the life of your motherboard product and dramatically increase durability by protecting vital components from strenuous thermal and electrical stress.


Games, Multimedia and Full Action
The AB9 QuadGT motherboard does not only have extreme power under the hood, it is also ready for full on gaming and multimedia action. Two X16 PCIe slots offer a wide range of multiple graphics options. Despite one of the X16 PCIe slots only supporting PCIe X4 bandwidth, it still caters adequately to most of today's graphics needs, including CrossFire operation. Alternatively you can also use this slot for other PCIe cards such as LAN, RAID, TV or audio add-on cards. A simple and flexible solution that serves almost any high-speed expansion demands. The 3-pin HDMI header connects with HDMI ready graphics cards, offering crisp HD audio.

6 internal SATA 3Gb/s and 2 eSATA connectors for the fastest hard drives on the market form the basis for more than sufficient storage capacity, while the single Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE connector provides the option to keep your older optical drives and HDDs running.

sad they didnt put the sata like the ide

[[XC] leviathan18]

two 16xPCI Express Slots?!?

i don't think so....electrically they are probably 16x/4x

re-read the article it says 1 is 4x

[dinos22]

you're too quick

[JoeBar]

A way better 965 board than current abit's 965 offering (aka AB9 Pro). Would love to see results...

BTW even though they have made huge steps from AB9's layout still the placement of the battery and floppy connectors are odd...

[Cooper]

Guess this thing should have GTL Reference Voltage adjustments

For some reason the quadgt name made me think of 4 x1900gt's in crossfire
looks like a good product!

[Kunaak]

thats gotta be the best layout I seen from Abit in quite sometime.
very clean, no weird connectors. very solid looking design.

now I just hope... finally... that they can make a board that "just works", but if the AW9D-Max is any indication... atleast they are on the right path these days.

[vudoodoodoo]

Why can't mobo makers put in some side facing SATA connectors?

[[TAG]Imp]

i dunno, i have SERIOUS doubts after the AB9 Pro...

Based on?

[skootyloops]

I hope this board can clock like a P5B-Deluxe. It would definatly create some good competition

[MrDeeds]

Based on?

The fact that their flagship Aw9d-Max board didnt get a bios update for 3 months and the latest bios update killed my sata and others have experienced the same issues. The board looks good but i couldnt recommend an abit purchase unless you were satisfied with it out of the box. Support has been lacking.

[Revv23]

really sexy.

I'll find out later http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3519

omg i love the cmos clearing switch

that is a gift sent from the gods, seriously.

all we need are standardized fp outputs/inputs

[Quentin]

I'll find out later http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3519

We want a review

[aspstein]

Do you have a board there eva2000?
If so thats great, now give that board a e6300 and lets see some wild fsb.....

[nn_step]

5 Phase with bad Sata/IDE placement. Outside of that, it looks like a pretty good board

[kemo]

Looks pretty solid to me + Clear area around the CPU for any type of cooling
So that thing should compete with the Commando?

it definitely has the potential. Besides I would love to see Abit pull off a kick ass board

IN32-MAX = kick ass (off course if I am mentioning the right name)
