ABIT closing its doors on December 31st

R.I.P. Abit.


Unfortunately you can no longer be just a good motherboard maker. You have to be into everything like ASUS or Gigabyte.

i've always been an asus fan anyways.

Damn, that sucks. Their stuff wasn't bad.

I used to always buy their stuff back in the day when I was o/c-ing everything

Me too, then they started using those shitty caps. I stopped using them after that. But back in the day, if you wanted to OC it was either Abit or Asus.

Wow, interesting. Had no clue they were in dire shape as a company. Then again I haven't purchased one of their products in forever. I think I have (had?) that motherboard pictured in the link.

The fans they attached to the Northbridges were total shit; always dying within a couple months new. I'd unplug them so I wouldn't have to hear them grinding.
