ABIT CLOSING doors for good..

[alyarb]

i just feel bad for all the newbs who bought IP35 motherboards thinking they were getting a real abit board. they stopped making quality boards years ago, and that is when I was disappointed. it's just been a slow pathetic death.

Abit was a mixed bag. From the beginning they really had some feature filled boards designed so the tweakers could play around and overclock just by playing around in the BIOS. They were never really rock solid though, IMO. If you wanted something that you just knew would work, even if didn't let you play with RAM voltage, MSI and Gigabyte were better choices.

don't worry as it's probably the best all round P35 mobo that was made.
No BIOS support for CPUs after EO stepping though.

ip35 pro here, no issues outside of the weird won't reboot issue (shuts down instead of reboot)
but that was fixed with the last bios update for me

First board I ever OC'd was the old, trusty BH-6...

Mine was a BE6 II or BH6 II I forget ... it was a BX board and it rocked.

I remember calling their corperate office once and it seemed like an orgy had broken out out in the background. unprofessional and the girls who ran the office were hot sounding girls that had zero phone skills. Had to call cause my BH7 NB heat sink popped off landed on my GPU and fried fried my system! I still run a IP-35 Pro though.

I remember considering building my first computer back in 2003. At that time Abit it sounded like they had a good reputation for Athlon XP boards.

Yeah, it sounds like fortunes in the mainboard industry can swing pretty fast. In fact, when I first bought my Gigabyte P965 DS3 lots of people on forums were saying Gigabyte was a poor choice for an enthusiast board. Now Gigabyte seems to be doing pretty well.

Good riddance, half their stuff was junk. Amazing that the fanboys kept pumping their boards.

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

I loved their boards. IP35 Pro.. BH6...
