The Bios

The vast majority of the time motherboards come with a “standard bios” – one we are all used to seeing, however the AN9 is a little different as it features Abit's uGuru screens. These screens allow configuration and monitoring of many aspects of the system. The screens below show some of the detail available.

 

With the latest BIOS all of the major settings are available to end users such as memory and CPU voltage, memory timings and HTT speeds. Additionally EPP is supported in this bios along with full support for the latest Nvidia GX2 graphics cards.

Abit Software

Abit's bios isn’t the only place where monitoring of the systems properties occurs, also provided on the software CD is Abit’s uGuru utility. This allows easy monitoring of fan speeds, voltages and temperatures as well as Windows based overclocking.

The utility is well laid out and easy to use, exactly as it should be.
