I wanted to ask about this thing, this μGuru chip on my new mobo. "μGuru is a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers for use only on ABIT motherboards." They seem very proud of it, apparently it can control all kinds of stuff like fan speeds and it can (gasp!) overclock dynamically, but they don't talk too loud about that part of it ;-) I however, a traditionalist, am deeply suspicious... http://www.abit-usa.com/technology/uguru.php Take a quick look and tell me what you think? I'm gonna fiddle with it, L8R
Seems like a pretty OCing interface for Windows users....kinda pointless (and potentially dangerous! ) ASUS, Abit and MSI have similar "things" in their nForce2 boards but they dont/didnt "market" it as such a big deal.
Praetor, remember MSI's Corecenter that allows overclocking and dynamic software controlled voltage adjustment within windows XP? Well now Abits got one!
The μGuru has one useful thing, the ABIT EQ. It's like the ASUS PC Probe. But I don't know if I trust it, it's showing 48C for my CPU temp and it doesn't seem to go up too much under stress (it does go up). These temps seem low to me, I was getting high fifties/low sixties from PC Probe on my previous mobo. I'm not into O/Cing my FSB, I like my PCI at 33 and AGP at 66. But I want to run my Barton at 200FSB, factory-overclock with proper dividers for PCI/AGP. XP3200+ would be sweet! I was worried about heat (but maybe the PC Probe was reading high?) But running stock 166/333 for now. The ABit AN7 is great. It does all kinds of tricks my A7V8X-X didn't do, 1394, SATA, etc.
