Why do people say that the 8kta3 will not support the new amperage?

A lot of people have been saying to get an abit kt7a because of the 6 mofsets, but the epox has em too. They are right next to the socket with heatsinks on em even. Please correct me if I am wrong because I want to buy one soon.
 
I thought so but I've heard other people say it doesn't. Maybe that was on another forum. Thanks for making me sure though.

I think it's probably because Abit brags it up more in there spec pages and most reviews usually cut &amp; paste the specs into their reviews. The reviewers seem to have better luck with the Epox than the Abit so far.

these other peoples telling s*ht 🙂)

epox use 4700µF capacitors and 3 phase technic like abit.

epox has confirmed this to www.hardocp.com:


&quot;One big kicker here that you have seen us promote with one other KT133A series board is 3 PHASE POWER. While it is not really advertised in any of the literature I have seen from EPoX, it seemed from the MOSFET layout on the board that it was in fact equipped with the feature. A quick email to EPoX confirmed that the board did in fact have a 3 Phase Power Solution. To put it in a nutshell, the 3PPS allows the board to deliver a cleaner amperage to the higher rated AMD CPUs. This may in fact translate to 3PPS boards being able to last through a greater number of CPU upgrades than others. This has yet to be proved, but this is something I would take into consideration when buying a new mainboard for AMD processors. Also, EPoX has gone that extra mile in cooling the MOSFETs, as they have mounted them with their own heatsinks on the board.&quot;


 
Jusy a comment, all MOSFETS are not created equal in terms of power handling. I would look for mobos with the MOSFETS mounted on their own heatsinks if your looking for maximum power.
