Abit has announced a new chip on its motherboards that can be used to adjust overclocking settings from within Windows

The dark art of overclocking is about to hit the masses, or at least those that buy a new Abit board with its new chip in situ.

The OC Guru chip means you can put your screwdriver away, as settings such as the front-side bus clock, CPU, AGP and DDR voltages can all be adjusted to make overclocking that much more user-friendly.

That's not to say that it's fool-proof, and Abit warns that turning up the heat too much may result in your chips being cooked.

But once you've found the limit to which you can push your hardware, without pushing it over the edge, you can save those settings for future use.
