- ABIT Proposes Ultimate System Controller

XBit reports that ABIT are in the process of manufacturing a standalone product which enhances further upon their proprietory "uGuru" technology. Dubbed the "uGuru Clock", it not only displays hardware temps and fan speeds, but also allows the user to dynamically adjust their system's performance (ie. overclock) using presets such as “Turbo”, “Quiet”, and “Normal" within any software based environment. ABIT didn't stop there either, also allowing you to monitor your incoming E-mails whilst you game. Nice touch ABit!

The uGuru Clock will permit customers to dynamically adjust system’s performance by setting special presets, such as "Turbo", "Quiet", "Normal", etc directly from their favorite games or applications without need to run additional utilities or reboot the PC. Besides that, the uGuru Clock will show hardware temperatures, fan speeds as well as monitor incoming MSN or e-mail events.
