Epox 8k7a 1/5 divider?

[Necrolezbeast]

I'm wanting to overclock my 1600+ and was wondering if my mobo has a 1/5 divider? I can't seem to find it and Epox's website sucks and doesn't give any of that info. I will need to buy new ram because I am currently running some cheap generic crap. I just don't want to have to get a new mobo and new ram, it wouldn't be worth it to me if i had to spend that much money.

The 8k7a is over a year and a half old now...it didn't have a 1/5 pci divisor back then and it doesn't now. Sorry!
Your best bet is to sell it on ebay and get a newer kt333 or kt400 board.

I don't give a damn what the linked thread states... The 8K7A never had a 1/5 divider. I have personally tested this on my IOSS RD2 PC GEIGER some time ago. The PCI bus does not drop past 166 MHz FSB.

EDIT: I still have an 8K7A+ around. If I get the time, I will hook up my PC Geiger again, and show you.

yeah htne, that link u posted was just a bad rumour. you can email epox and ask them as well. the epox 8k7a(+) never EVER had a 1/6 pci divisor.

i'm confused now...that link says exactly what epox's site said before they updated it and made it display no bios explanation.

it doesn't have it!!! no need to be confused...pure and simple. that link posted is old and misinformed.
