Specifications:


4 Phase OC-PWMs - Longer service life, greater stability

The 4- phase PWM layout provides sufficient power and great stability for AM2+/AM2 CPU and offers higher over-clocking potential


Memory - More voltage stability with higher quality capacitors

With the high quality capacitors, this additional 1 phase PWM can enhance the voltage stability delivered to DDR2 memory modules.


abit Silent OTES - Black Edition! Keep it cool & quiet!

Through this unique abit engirneered Silent-OTES heat-pipe design, heat generated by the chipset can be efficiently and noiselessly dissipated.
