Overclocking has always been ABIT's forte, and the AW8-MAX is no exception: "In the arena of overclocking, the ABIT AW8-MAX shined as well. With our Corsair 5400C4 Pro DDR2 memory, we were able to bring it up to over 800MHz on the memory bus. With Corsair 8000UL RAM, we were able to run the memory bus stable at 904MHz. Front side bus speeds of 325MHz were easily reached as well. For the Intel overclocker, the AW8-MAX is certainly a board to keep on your short list."
