PCGH Quiz Time #12: Legendary motherboard manufacturer Abit – do you have pro knowledge?

[PLUS]  IT History: What Actually Happened to Abit?


from Stephen Wilke
Abit was one of the most influential motherboard manufacturers to disappear from the market. The Taiwanese were pioneers in the implementation of overclocking functions and represented the ultimate for PC tuners for several years. Today you can prove whether you are still familiar with Abit in detail with PCGH Quiz Time.

In 1996, Abit and QDI released the first mainboards almost simultaneously, which enabled CPU configuration not via jumpers on the board, but conveniently in the BIOS menu. In the years that followed, Abit earned legendary status by releasing many motherboards that eclipsed the competition in terms of their overclocking capabilities. The Taiwanese were also very innovative in other areas such as hardware monitoring and overclocking in real time or graphics card and mainboard cooling. However, after the departure of key people and, above all, the disclosure of extensive accounting falsification, Abit declined, which could no longer be stopped by a restructuring as Universal Abit. This time, PCGH Quiz Time is your chance to prove how well you know the former manufacturer.
