    EPoX EP-9NPA3ULTRA

    Just built a PC for someone using this board, 3200+ venice w/ retail HSF, Gigabyte 6800GS, Antec Smartpower 2.0 500w PSU and 2gb of Corsair XMS (2x1gb) and everything works flawlessly. I didn't try to overclock anything since it's not my personal computer but everything seemed to be rock solid...

    OK to safely remove hardware? WD SATAII 320GB issue

    I just built a computer for someone using a western digital 320gb SATAII drive on an Epox nForce4 ultra mainboard. After installing the forceware drivers I get a system tray icon telling me it's ok to safely remove my SATA hard disk. 1. Why is this icon popping up? 2. How can I make it go...

    I'm placing my order this week

    Go for 1gb of ram. If you are a gamer (and it looks like you might be) you'll definitely want it.

    AXP mobile 2200+

    Hmm. I haven't checked my northbridge temps (by touch). I seem to run fine at 1700 (8.5x200).. hours of diablo2 and some Unreal Tourney. the CMOS says my VCORE is around 1.5 and I left the all the voltage settings on default. I did try upping to 1.65 for the CPU and still wasn't able to...

    AXP mobile 2200+

    I'm running @ 10x200. Windows boots up fine. I tried some stress testing with 3Dmark2k1 and my computer will restart after the first sequence completes. I tried upping the vcore and got the same result. I then tried lowering the multiplier to 8.5x200 and ran 3Dmark again. This time it...

    Help me pick a motherboard

    I don't think you'd want onboard video in any situation. Get a cheap Matrox or ATI video card at least. Most onboard video chips I've seen just flat out suck in terms of image quality and being able to run high desktop resolutions in 32bit color. It's always good to have an upgrade option as...

    *** Official EPoX 8RDA/+ (nForce2) Thread ***

    I'm getting really crappy memory & cpu scores in Sandra. I've got the 8RDA+, AXP1700 (stock so far) and 512mb of Corsair PC2700. I'm using win2k and it's tweaked out pretty much. My old KT333 scored far better it seems. I've got the mem set to 100% instead of by SPD and it actually got SLOWER...

    Problem: Display will not refresh at anything but 60hz

    You are right. I figured it out yesterday afternoon! LOL. I didn't know there were 2 places you could set the refresh rate and under the displays tab you can set the monitors max refresh rate for all resolutions. I didn't even know it was there! I guess by default it's set at 60HZ. Everything...
