And that’s where ABIT comes in. In the article “Maximum Overdrive” they explore the world of “overclocking, where silicon lives fast, dies young, and leaves a good-looking corpse”, Cory Doctorow mentions the early years of overclocking and the ABIT board that started it all; the IT5H."

(Mar 16, 2003) Top hardware site Explosive Hardware has recently completed a mammoth 13 motherboard roundup of boards based on the 845PE chipset. The results? One Editor's Choice for the ABIT IT7 MAX 2 and an honourable mention for the BE7-RAID. "I should mention that the ABIT IT7-MAX2 2.0 and the BE7-RAID are fully prepped to OC 800FSB processors, as they have instituted additional power phases. The ABIT IT7-MAX2 2.0 has 4 and the BE7-RAID has 3. No other boards in this roundup to our knowledge have that capability, as the rest are situated with 2. For the purposes of this roundup, we have put aside this feature in our judgment for awarding. This, so that those two boards would be easier to compared to their peers. Otherwise, ABIT could have easily scurried off with our Editor's Choice Award twice!"
