uGuru
Speaking of uGuru, Abit has updated its software suite for the KV8 Pro. Enthusiasts will be particularly interested in the AbitEQ and OCGuru utilities, which let users manipulate and monitor a host of BIOS-level features from within Windows.

The AbitEQ control panel is a little big, but it effectively tracks voltages, fan speeds, and system temperatures.

AbitEQ can also be used to set alarm and shutdown thresholds for the temperature, fan speed, and voltages.

For those who prefer to overclock from Windows rather than the BIOS, OCGuru delivers a wide range of bus speed and voltage options.

OCGuru lets users choose from a number of preset system configurations or create their own. However, the utility's monitoring capabilities could use a little work. OCGuru's reported AGP and PCI bus speeds were way off the 66 and 33MHz reported by PC Wizard 2004, and OCGuru also incorrectly reported that the system's CPU fan was disabled.
