uhm....somebody buy it and tell us please :D
I did buy it, saturday. But I'm cheap and went with 3-5 day ground. "it's in the mail" I let you know ASAP.
i was poking arround in the bios for the Epox 9nda3+ and i must say i like alot of the options it offers
oooooooo
cant wait to find out......
I think this is the board I am going to get.......
whats about the subzero bug?
somebody tested?
Looks like the board can run high HTT at high FSB... look what I've done: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...chmentid=20940
on 8KDA3+ I had this was caused by setting system performance to "fastest" eg use dimm mfr default settings. if you use "normal" vdimm selection acts normally (was only 2.76v though at 2.8v setting).Quote:

As far as I can tell There is little difference between it and it's $130 brother.
Missing FW
Missing rounded cables.
Missing Firewire headers
Missing Screwdriver
Only 2 sata RAID vs. 4
Other than that it's exactly the same board. Same box, Same bios options, same layout.
I'm pretty stoked after having the Gigabyte which would'nt even boot@240.
This board boots @ 315
Another thing i really like about EPOX is it's the best manual I've ever read. All bios options are clear explained and using good english.
I'll update once everything's up. Wish me luck
That board is doing really well, look foward to some results.
You mean, proper english. Seeing as though we are taking stabs at the way some speak/write english.Quote:

This issue is/was present with the shipping BIOS of the 9NDA3+, but consequent BIOS revisions have provided a fix...Quote:

Saw that board and started salivating.
what cpu are you using?
The 3000+ for $160 at monarchcomputer.com looks pretty good.
looking forward to your results!
Epox $90 board kickass...
315 Bus easy @1.60 v chipset on stock bios, all the bios option of big brother.testing mem now...I'm no expert so bear with me time wise..
so you ARE using a 3000+ on that board?
looks good so far! mind if I ask what ram, etc?

RAM samsung TCCD (pqi) 2 x 512 in slots 3 and 4
sweet!
I'm currently using a gig of some old Samsung TCCC, probably going to get the 3200+ for the 10x multi, and see what I can do without having to buy new ram.
won't do anything past 210 on my nf7, so it should be interesting.
Heres best I can do with mem it's only 2t though
I can do 282 at 1t with same timmings.
