Changed the bios version, but still it doesn't work :(
Maybe my board doesn't like my 512mb sticks ...

Could you please try to boot with the settings above and check if you can boot with them? Thx

Edit -> I have brand new bios from epox website.

Tried 9x290 and mem 166 divider and system froze while loading windows. Slots 3&4 in use. Strange. Have to try slots 1&2 later.

I get 366 , at that time board was unmodded ( mem async )
Its the 9NDA3+ V2.1 , but i think the J version is the same

For the one’s using this board, are any of you using SATA? I’m thinking of getting this board, but see a problem with the SATA connecter position. I don’t think it will fit with my BFG 6800 U OC.

I have the same VC and just got this board -- the card is big - we'll see after I take it off my gigabyte. :confused:

sauria, I just took out my Gigabyte board and installed the 9NDA3J, it OCs a lot better than the Giga as far as HTT is concerned and I am getting much better mem bandwidth. The nice thing is, I pumped the voltage up +.025 and thought that would give me around 1.525 volts. I have been priming it for a few hours. Then I rebooted and to my surprise the voltage is at 1.35 for the core. I have been running my 3200+ at 2.45GHz for hours with only 1.35 volts.....LOL.

Great! May be time to swap boards! Found any good BIOS screenshots for setup?

I guess this new 2.1 has a better voltage circuit?

Just got this board yesterday - very easy setup. Replacing my 2100+ T-bred "B" that would do 2.3 ghz @ 1.65 vcore (awesome chip!).

There is a new bios for the 9nda3j available, dated 2/15/05. I used the Magic Bios utility that came with the board and flashed it through windows.

so far I've got my 3200+ running at 2250, stock volts, stock cooler, using my trusty old 1gb of TCCC ram in channels 1&2.
Pretty amazing this old ram can do 225 @ 3-3-3-8 1t! 5xHTT.

Overall, it's hard to beat the cost. Wish I had some nice TCCD ram, but I'm too much of a budget overclocker. :banana:

I just built mine too and put the DIMMS 1G GSkill LA kit in slots 3&4

running pretty stable so far w/ a 5/6 divider @ 2500. 3-3-3 1t stuff, but great for this old ram!
hopefully some more left in it.

Looks like another 8RDA+ is upon us...I'll need to switch! :mad:

ANy consensus on the best BIOS for the "J" board -- I take it they use the same BIOS?

for 9nda3j board, I used the Magic Bios utility which downloaded & flashed bios 2/15/05.

I'm running 2x512 sticks in channels 1&2, using 1t timings, and it's solid.

Still has the fast writes enabled bug, so make sure fast writes is DISabled.

Ok, thanks okra!

I’ve had mine for about a week. It ran great and was very stable. Yesterday I flashed the BIOS to 1/11/05, that’s when things went downhill. CPU temps skyrocketed and the board is no longer stable, even at stock settings. I’ve flashed between three different BIOS’s and the problem still persists. I’ve tried two different CPU’s with water cooling and a H/F. I’ll try the new 2/15/05 BIOS before switching back to my MSI board.

Hmm, just flashed to that bios myself. 1/11/05

Unfortunately the new bios had the same problem. I believe something happened to the board itself. I switched back to my neo2 p and everything is good again. I guess I’ll see what Epox says. I might have to RMA this thing. :(

Oops, sorry to hear that -- where did you get it?

that sucks, reaper! My condolences, at least you had another board lying around, eh?
