new Epox 8K7A

AJ · 06-07-2001, 10:13 AM

Epox 8K7A- I haven't read too much about this board, as it seems to be new, and the only review I read was linked from the 1.4Mhz review on GotApex's front page yesterday at:

http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=86

They seemed to love it, 9.5/10.

Specs-http://www.epox.com/HTML/ENGLISH/PRO...RD/EP-8K7A.HTM

Its the AMD761 chipset, and as I understand thats the new mutation of the 760 chipset that beat the via and ali for performace.

I'm looking for a high performance, simple, reliable board, for under $150, and this one goes for about $130 on newegg.com. Seems like an alternative to the A7M266?

Anyone mess with this board yet or hear anything about it? How are epox's traditionally?

Epox made awesome super socket 7 boards, and that carried over into the T-bird/Duron boards. They make really good, fast, and stable boards. You really can't go wrong with Epox.

Yes this board is great,IMO it is very stable and oc's like crazy.I have had my Duron 800 @ 160x6 and what a rocket. I think U could drop the Multiplyer to 5 and get alot higher Fsb, But haven't tryed yet,But will soon. Burning in at 150x6.5 now.
Another good MoBo is the Iwill KK266, I own one of these too, and it is very very stable.(my best system,1G t-bird @150x10) either one are good choice IMO.
Well hope this helps.

I just bought this board last night, along with a 1.4 GHz Tbird with the "Y" stepping. I will be watercooling my system, so I should be able to overclock like a mofo!!
