Epox 8RDA+ nForce 2 Motherboard @ Viper Lair

Published by

Although they are no strangers to motherboards, the 8RDA+ marks the first time Epox have worked with Nvidia. With the nForce2 getting a lot of good press, Viperlair takes a look at Epox's nForce2 solution, and determines if this motherboard is worth consideration.

A 230FSB was pretty much a piece of cake, using an 8.0 mulitplier. I tried 8.5 but the system would not post. I also tried 8 x 231, but the system, although posting at 8 x 231, would not boot into Windows. We did manage a POST at 5 x 242, but it never got into Windows either. The fact that it at least POSTed at 242FSB is a bit of an encouragement as the upcoming AMD CPUs will likely ride the 400FSB bus, so you'll still have some OC headroom when the new chips arrive.
