Epox 8RDA+ questions....

[markjs]

I just got one, and I am trying to figure out a couple of things. First, if this is such an overclockers board, how can I set a non standard FSB speed? I only see the options for 100, 133, 166, and 200. Secondly, how do I enable S.M.A.R.T, cuz I can't figure it out!

SMART is no big deal to begin with but its under (Advanced bios)

As for setting the non-std buss speed select (Expert) under system performance and memory timings...

das book is goot...

I still don't see S.M.A.R.T. what exactly does it say?

markjs, SMART is enabled in the Advanced BIOS Features section of the BIOS. It's like the third or fourth option from the bottom.

And to set a non-standard FSB, you must select System Performance option to Expert in the Advanced Chipset Features. From there you can select any FSB in 1MHz increments up to like 255MHz. You can also select your CPU to Memory ratio, I recommend 100% for maximum efficiency and performance.

I swear to god, there is no option for S.M.A.R.T. in my BIOS, I am 110% sure of this. Should I flash it? Will that add the option?

DOH! Now I feel dumb! I kept ignoring scroll down...neve having seen a BIOS you have to scroll around with. It was there as was promised.

I only see the options for 100, 133, 166, and 200 <<< change your FSB Setting to "Expert"
