Ok where do I go from here?

Yeah, I've been looking at that 8RGA+ and the NF7-S rev. 1.2. Here is a review where they compared those two boards along with the volt-modded 8RDA+. You are going to like the results. It looks like the modded 8RDA+ did really well.

Hey Pelikan,

I just read the review I'm now more excited about doing the Vdd mod if I had access to the proper gear I'd just add a resistor myself. I like the SMD idea much better leaves no trace especially if you need to RMA your board 😉 Just kidding for the price and performance I'd gladly buy another Epox product! Stay tuned I'll post results to this thread at some point on the weekend or next week.

Guys I just made a grusome discovery also I'm an idiot Fry's ripped me off I just realized what I have is not the right damn board.
The mother board box says 8RDA+ the board says 8RDA I can't beleive I didn't notice this no wonder I can't hit 200 FSB I'm going there asap!

Those two boards should overclock the same. The difference is the 8RDA doesn't have Soundstorm and maybe a few other extras.

Well the thing is now it's the principal I thought it was funny that it didn't have intergated LAN port the box clearly says 8RDA+ on the white FRy's tag but the board says 8RDA either way it's not what I was after purchasing it goes back....
Lesson learned I guess I need to stick with New Egg

Yeah, that's messed up to get the wrong board in the right box.

Ok I have to retract my statement a wire was covering the "+" on my board my bad but can someone tell me why my board does not have an integrated LAN port? Looking at the pic on the Epox website and the pic of the board at New egg they both show an integrated lan port so Fry's is ok.....
