EP-8KTA3 question??

[pinecone]

For those of you using this board, are you having any heat issues with the cpu? Socket seems to be crowded as reported by reviews and looks like potential problem.

I'm not hearing a lot of problems with the this kt133a board, but maybe it's because few are buying it.

I have no heat issues at the moment - 1.2G T-bird with FOP32-1 runs at 34C idle and 24C mobo. Sorry, don't have load numbers, haven't installed OS yet. On the case I have an 80mm back exhaust and front intake in addition to the 350W PS fan (which is the loudest of all of them).

What I DO have a problem with is the 133Mhz bus - at 9x133 it doesn't POST at all when I set it there, and while I've heard it is a general problem with the KT133A chipset, most of the threads I've read about it under, seem to also be using the Epox 8KTA3...
