K7S5A MOBO - $40.99 - NO SHIPPING

[BATCH71]

Good Mobo with mixed reviews. Takes alot of different AMD chips and both SDR or DDR. Hard to go wrong if you need a solid cheap motherboard. Word of advice, use a good quality power supply and you will be fine.

Click on the American Flag then do a search for K7S5A 🙂

The kinda looks like they ship from the UK. That's a little too far away for me.

All well and good but it doesn't alter the fact that the site linked is the UK version. There site seems to send you there by defualt if ou don't have a cookie or something.


Good MB BTW, solid and reliable with lots of net help. This might be a direct link, but you might need to go here first.

This MB is a pain! I have made close over 10 units with this MB and I have had two RMA's. The price is so good that I am forced to buy from Fry's their combo though. I keep the latest bios handy because twice the bios was not correctly posting. Let's count 10 boards, two DOA's, two weak bios = One POS MB!

The positive is the P/P ratio cannot be beat. I always use the SVC fan for $5. $90 for MB/2400+ AMD, $5 fan, $10 256 MB A/R A/C DDR, $20 CG case, $20 A/R A/C CD-RW, $60 80 GB HD, $80 (or more) Video Card + Tax + Shipping = One cheap, Badaxx computer! Add a little more ram and a little better video card makes this computer quite a gaming machine. Just add your excellent gaming skills and kick some 3 GB AMD/Intel $300 video card axx!

I have made 6 PC's using this mobo with no problems at all but these are not OC'd.

Fry's San Diego has this mobo plus AMD 2000 for $64.95

Thay also thave the same mobo plus AMD 2400 FOR $79.95 both with bare CPU's

anyone know where i can get the USB drivers (for 2k) for this mobo?
i have it, and my usb never worked real well(especially for d.cams and cf readers etc, but worked ok for mice/keyboard), however when i used winxp for a while the USB was great, my camera, cf reader and everything worked ok
im going back to 2k, as i dont like the xp "features" but i would like my usb to work good.

i never got a drivers CD with it as i bought it refurb from newegg, i think the only thing im missing is a good usb driver

any help apprecicated

i've heard this is a hit or miss mb. some ppl have terrible experiences with it while others are happy. i'd recommend u stay away and get the k7s5a pro instead. it's basically the 2nd version of this motherboard and everyone i've known has been happy with it so far. even fry's no longer carries new k7s5a boards. (they do have a HUGE stack of old ones tho).

n/m, just went to the site. this is the "pro version" == GOOD. then again i'd pay $30 more @ fries and get a cpu along with it.

Hi,

I built two computers around this board. They both run fine. One board board does have a problem with SDRAM, I had to use DDR memory. Here are two message boards that cover this board:
http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=35
http://www.lejabeach.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=1

The prior postings are right about the mixed reviews. Its an inexpensive board, but when it works its great.

 

[Mecheater]

Not a bad deal for getting the mobo alone. As for the mobo being bad, I've had no problems. With well over 20 computers built using these mobos and even 2 refurbs from newegg, still have not had any problems.

just my .02

I have operated a K7S5A 24x7 for about 20 months now

 

[LongCoolMother]

my first athlon system a year or two ago that i fried ran on this mobo. it was rock stable, no problems, served me well until my power supply killed everything. word of advice: get a GOOD power supply, no kidding.

 

[ZalmanKalman]

I'd really really like to see a banchmark comparision between a K7S5A/2400+ and chipzilla P4 2.4. It beats me why some falks would buy Intel when you can get somthing this good for that little.
I have proudly owned k7s5a and now i own a K7S5a pro. No overclocking but ZERO problems, also Linux likes these MB's very much thank you.

ll trying to sell this thing! Two years ago it was real nice, esp for the price, but it was like 65 dollars even back then! Mine had SDRAM and DDR compat problems, and the nic wouldn't work properly, but oterhwise was and is still working fairly well in my girlfriend's computer now.

It may be the foundation for a good cheap system, but the LAST thing you should skimp on is the mobo.

 

[Cogtx]

Built a system with this board bout a year ago without any real probs. Be sure to read all you can about other's experience with this board before putting a rig together with the K7S5A, get a quality PS with good rails, and decent DDR and you should be up and running. 😉

 

[Sensor]

Seems like a silly buy to me when you can get a nforce board with onboard video for around $60. Aside from taking both SDR and DDR, what's the point?

 

[mdcrab]

You can get an nForce2 Ultra 400 for $53.50 + $8 UPS Grnd at mWave

It has onboard LAN & sound but no video.
