| We have completed testing on the Epox 8RDA+ motherboard based on the Nvidia Nforce2 chipset. OCZ PC2700 EL Dual Channel DDR through OCZ PC3500 EL Dual Channel DDR have been tested 100% stable and reliable using 2x256 and 2x512. |
| Tips |
The Epox 8RDA exhibits stability issues when using an FSB above 190. This is due to the Voltage sag (VDQ) to the northbridge chipset.
If your having problems with running the 8rda above 200FSb in sync mode, it is a typical issue that most users adress with a motherboard replacement or by increasing the Northbridge cooling. Some users have had good luck with voltage moding the northbridge chipset.
Another frequent annomoly is in use conjunction 166FSB processors ( such as the AthlonXP 2600+ ) which limits its ability to achieve higher than 183 FSB when the mutliplier is dropped. Memory timings must be entered manually in the BIOS.
Achieving beyond 180FSB with an AMD Thoroughbred Revision A CPU is problematic and this issue has not yet been addressed by either AMD nor motherboard manufacturers.
