Most motherboard makers give a variety of options that gives the enthusiast the opportunity to really put those processors to the test. For us overclockers, the BIOS is our playground. The ABIT AG8 gives great options to work in the BIOS, allowing us to strive for the ultimate performance. One thing that is unique to the ABIT boards is the µGuru. µGuru is ABIT's "self-overclocker." Now, of course, I tend to do things the harder way, but the µGuru on the default settings out of the box set my clock speed to 2.9GHz compared the the 2.8GHz stock.
As far as options go for overclocking in the BIOS, ABIT has gone all out at opening just about all you would want, giving you the ability to take your processor to the next level. Below are the various settings with Minimum and Maximum values.
