ABIT KV8-MAX3 Intro:

ABIT KV8-MAX3 BoxABIT is well known in the enthusiast market for their feature rich and highly overclockable motherboards. With the release of Athlon 64, ABIT designed the KV8-MAX3, which sports a few goodies such as, Guru, Security IDE, OTES (outside thermal exhaust system), and VIA's K8T800 chipset. The mainboard is geared towards the high end enthusiasts who want every bell and whistle available.

Competition for the high end market is tough with companies like Chaintech also targeting the overclockers and power users, as we saw in our Chaintech ZNF3-150 review. We shall see how the KV8-MAX3 compares to the ZNF3-150 as well as the EPoX 8HDA3+ later in the review. For now, let us say that we have high expectations with the ABIT KV8-MAX3, considering our good experiences in the past with ABIT boards.
