BIOS
One of the
main reasons why Abit became so successful was signature SoftMenu
overclocking section of the BIOS. All the adjustments you need for
overclocking are located under one area so you won't have to go through
different sections just to find voltage options. In the case of
motherboards that feature Abit's uGuru, that section is called the uGuru
Utility. Inside, you have the options of HTT frequency, CPU
multiplier, AGP bus, and all the typical voltage settings.
The KV8 Pro BIOS comes
with some great voltage options and memory adjustments. Although
not as rich as the DFI LANParty UT nF3 250Gb, the KV8 Pro also provides
extra memory settings than the typical CAS, TRCD, TRP, TRAS. While
the VDIMM may seem a little lacking to some, it is actually enough for
the popular TCCD based memory. If you own a pair of BH5 or UTT,
you'll be happy to know that uGuru supplies up to 3.2v. More will
be explained on uGuru later.
Notice in the image below
that the default clock on the KV8 Pro comes at 204HTT. This is
commonly found in current Abit motherboards. Companies often do
these little things to show that they have higher performance.
It's a bit of "cheating". I manually
adjusted the clock to run at 200HTT just like all other boards tested
for comparison.
