EPOX 8KTA - Duron 600 overclocking?

[GrauWolf]

I've been looking through alot of overclocking pages and I haven't really seen any use of the EPOX 8KTA in the overclocking of Duron or Thunderbird chips. I'm soon to get one of these boards, and the lack of info on it is making me a little bit skittish on getting it. Does anyone know what overclocking on these boards are like?

I have the Epox 8KTA2 board with a T-Bird 850 running at 1100. I think it's a nice board if you don't mind messing with Jumpers. I believe the MSI Pro2 board is a little better tho if just for the BIOS Settings. The 850 ran at 100 on it as well. Stability is about the same on either one. The 8KTA2 does have ATA100 built in tho for what thats worth.

There are three flavors of this board being sold right now:
EP-8KTA - No CPU multiplier switches
EP-8KTA+ - With CPU Multiplier switches
EP-8KTA2 - With CPU Multiplier switches and support for ATA100.

If you bought the EP-8KTA then your options on overclocking are limited to just one. Adjustment of the FSB, which BTW is very limited on MoBos incorporating the VIA KT133 chipset.

i have the same board and cant get much out of the fsb, but its a totaly stable board for me at default with all the goodies on. as for the bios, geting the latest version and enabiling 4-way iterlive improved peromance greatly.
