Introduction

Over the last few years, the name Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel has become synonymous with gaming prowess. In the same way ABIT’s line of motherboards under the same name have themselves become synonymous with being the powerhouses of gamers computers the world over. Today I have managed to get my mitts on the Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI, lets see how well it lives up to its reputation.

A little about Abit

For nearly 15 years, ABIT has been the brand of choice for hardware enthusiasts worldwide. ABIT Engineers work year end and year out to deliver products that are powerful, flexible, and stable – fulfilling the needs of users that demand nothing less than the very best. In the past, PC enthusiasts have chosen ABIT products because of the level of flexibility they offer. A good example of this is our SoftMenu™ technology which allows an unrivaled selection of BIOS options, including operating frequencies and voltages. With SoftMenu, users finally had a way to optimize their systems the way they saw fit, empowering them to squeeze every drop of performance available.

Over the last 24 months, we’ve made significant changes to the way ABIT products are developed, designed, and manufactured. The result on these changes is something we like to call BulletProof Technology. BulletProof Technology ensures a superior product by focusing on four key areas: Quality, Stability, Reliability, and Engineering. With BulletProof Technology, users can count on ABIT products to consistently deliver award-winning performance and stability today and tomorrow.

Some of these changes include utilizing 100% Japanese capacitors on ABIT-branded motherboards and graphics cards. This insistence on quality ensures that ABIT products are built for long-term, problem-free use. For total stability under extreme conditions, all ABIT products must pass the Torture Test before ending up on store shelves. ABIT Approved test reports detail all components which are problem-free with ABIT motherboards, ensuring that users can count on ABIT reliability. Finally, ABIT Engineering continues to deliver what it has from the very beginning – exclusive features that provide added convenience, stability, and performance for the discerning computer enthusiast.

By incorporating BulletProof Technology, ABIT has transformed itself into a company that not only delivers superior performance, but also top-notch quality, stability, and reliability. If you’re new to ABIT, I invite you to try our products and feel what many call the "ABIT Experience" - products that deliver as promised right out of the box. For those who have been with us these past 15 years, thank you for making ABIT the number one enthusiast hardware brand. We’ve come a long way together, but we have even more to come.
