Yup I've got one of these.

It's a very nice board, Vdimm aplenty, just a bit light on the Vcore for the Xtreme. The EPox monitor says the Vcore undervolts terribly under load, but I think I remember reading that Bigtoe from Asusboards (well whatever it is these days

) measured it on the board and it doesn't actually undervolt that much 1.60 V BIOS = 1.58 V real. Apart from the lack of a bit of Vcore, it's fast, stable, has pretty much everything except Firewire, and it's cheap. Nice! :thumbsup:

check vcore mod in mod section

**MCWB** · 06-04-2003, 04:29 PM

Ah yeah I knew about it alright, just happens to be a little too delicate for my soldering skills...

Hmm, is there anyone here with a 4PCA3+ willing to test out two new BIOSes ?
I have two versions, one version M6 and one M7(M7 is the same as the one posted by ET on AOA), but no board so I have no idea what's the difference between the two.

**Maaij** · 06-05-2003, 01:31 PM

I have a Epox 4PCA3+ and I flashed is with the m6 bios. Now I can go up to 1.85V in bios
I think m6 and m7 is the same. The filesize is the same. But I am not sure

**karmakid** · 06-05-2003, 01:50 PM

vcore up to 1.85 ?
if yes then -->

cause the answer I got from their technicians was : wait for a new revision

**Maaij** · 06-05-2003, 01:53 PM

yup with the new beta bios
I have a rev 1.2 board

**taco** · 06-05-2003, 02:00 PM

where did you guys pick yours up? im guessing they're only avalable in europe for some reason..

**Maaij** · 06-05-2003, 02:03 PM

The boards are only available in Europe I think
Soon te new rev 2.0 will come out in other country too
Dont know why they do that
Lets hope the new rev will be worth for waiting

**kevdogg** · 06-05-2003, 08:21 PM

how soon?

Nope, they are definitely not the same. Compare the files.
The M7 is supposed ot have better timmings for chipset and stuff, thus it should perform better, but maybe it can lead to instability.

PS. Oh yeah, of course the filesize is the same, doh, it's supposed to be flashed on a 4Mbit EEPROM.
