ABIT had a reputation among [[PC enthusiast|PC enthusiasts]] for producing motherboards that support [[overclocking]].<ref name="toms" /> In the late 1990s, the company introduced their ''Softmenu'' feature, one of the first [[Jumper (computing)|jumperless]] CPU configuration systems that enable overclocking to be adjusted from the [[BIOS]] instead of fiddling with [[Jumper (computing)|jumpers]]. Softmenu was later extended with the development of the ''μGuru'' chip. μGuru is a custom [[microprocessor]] on Abit motherboards which, in conjunction with ABIT software, gives the ability to modify overclocking settings in real-time while the [[operating system|OS]] is running. By providing instant feedback on the results of a particular overclock setting, μGuru reduced the time required to discover optimal settings. μGuru provided a special connector for a panel in a 5¼" [[drive bay]] to display CPU speed and voltage settings. They were also one of the first motherboard manufacturers to enable [[Dynamic voltage scaling|undervolting]].{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

ABIT was the first motherboard manufacturer to introduce 133&nbsp;MHz [[front-side bus|FSB]] operation for the [[Intel]] BX chipset with the aptly named AB-BX133.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/593 | publisher=AnandTech | title=ABIT BX133-RAID i440BX Socket-370 ATX | date=28 July 2000 | access-date=7 March 2015}}</ref> ABIT also achieved [[symmetric multiprocessing]] (SMP) operation for Intel's [[Celeron#Mendocino|Mendocino]] [[Celeron]] CPU, in their [[ABIT BP6|BP6]] motherboard. This was an achievement because Intel had blocked [[Symmetric multiprocessing|SMP]] operation in the Celeron.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

In 2004, they introduced the OTES cooling system. This [[heat pipe]] based cooling system is intended to transfer heat from the chipset or the motherboard's [[Voltage regulator module|voltage regulators]] and expel it out of the system through the rear [[I/O]] panel.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}

During [[Computex]] 2008, Universal Abit unveiled the FunFab P80 Digital Photo Frame and Printer. It integrated a [[photo printer]] directly to a [[mobile phone]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tomshardware.com/news/abit-funfab-photo-printer-computex,5588.html | publisher=Tom's Hardware | title=Abit Unveils The FunFab P80 Digital Photo Frame And Printer | date=4 June 2008 | access-date=7 March 2015}}</ref>
