EPoX EP-8RGA+

[M@tt]

I thought you guys might be interested in my results with a 8RGA

I bought it retail in the UK its a Rev 0.6 and it does have
Vdd in BIOS - 1.6V/1.8V/2.0V and it has the 4pin ATX+ P4 connector.

The rails on my board do not drop under load or high v-core, it a bit odd to see this at 1st.

XP 1800 T-Bred "A"
2 x Corsair XMS 3500's
GF2 Ultra
Cooled by a Prommie.

The good bits

Stable at 215 FSB without any modding




which gives nice memory bandwidth





Bad bits

At high V-core 2.0 ish, my board will not reboot out of bios, needs a restart, this maybe a lack of power issue with my Sparkle 300W, its not the prommie as I tried without the reset wire attached.

I have trouble with overclocking when using the on- board GFX, although I never tried very hard to solve this problem.

Also although I have refitted the head on the prommie twice, adding washers, the temps seem high, so maybe inaccurate

EDIT I did a 3DMark also to help prove its stable http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6004014
