Epox 8KDA3j problems!!!!!!!!!

[Vitalizer]

I got my Epox 8KDA3j 2days ago. Its totally worthless, i can even get the cpu stable at 11x210mhz... only with crappy timings. and my adata pc3200 bh-5 256x2 is stable at 252mhz 5-2-2-2 3.2v usually. Now its not even stable 205 5-2-2-2 with 2.8v
WTH is wrong??! ive tryed 4diffrent bioses.
and the voltages are totally :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:ed up aswell. when i oc my mems without increaseing to 2.8v on vdimm i get 1.4v in vcore!(need to clear cmos to get normal) when i take 2.8v and 205fsb i get 1.65-1.72v in vcore instead! and its instable as hell.

its kinda hard to explain my probs, hope someone understand and can help me.
im so pissed off atm:(

same happened to a buddy of mine. he had better luck after he moved his sticks into a couple of different slots and tried different command rates on the memory(ie 1T and/or 2T)
sorry i can't be more specific but i havn't driven that board yet

Try using dimm 2 and 3 instead.

Had the same thing too first. Tried other mem, wouldn't work.

Tried another proc, and that seemed to fix it. It could very well be this board is also very picky about the ondie memcontroller

Hi Vitalizer.
I would start with flashing your bios to the new 27/7/2004 beta. Then unplug the power from the system "after the flash" and do a bios clear using the onboard jumper. Plug the power back in and start the system. Now go into the bios and load defaults. Save and restart. Now you will have to start playing with the memory slots. There is a page in the manual that shows you where to place you double or single sided memory. Hope this helps.

i switched from ram slot 2-3 to slot 1-3. and flashed back to 5/5.
Now it is a bit better.. but the vcore is still very unstable.
