Just ordered my Epox 8K3A...

Kevin · 03-30-2002, 06:11 AM

While it pains me deeply to get rid of my ECS K7S5A (my most beloved motherboard ever), time to bring in the new... I already got rid of my Athlon 1.33 ghz for a 1.4 ghz Athlon XP which I am told by the head nut can do 150 mhz FSB w/out any voltage... I have an extra PC2100 stick just lying around as well. I'm gonna stick it in the mobo and thrive w/ 768mb of memory... oh glorious day....

Of course this is all in preparation for the H2O coolin' of my Chilli Pro system which I'm slowly but surely working on.

Oh btw... I am selling the old Athlon and i've changed the price in your favor...

cool kevin, any other project details?

Kevin · 03-30-2002, 05:24 PM

Not too many yet... I'm still on the hunt for a good, compact pump (the eheim is a bit large). Y'all saw the Black Ice EVO that I will use for the case. It will be complimented with a Maze3. My largest challenge is cutting the 120mm hole for the BI EVO and keeping it nice looking on the front.

nice, i've heard nothing but good things about that board.

don't remember where it was, but i remember seeing a review of it and they got the FSB all the way to 200 mhz. supposedly with the new bios update it'll go even higher.

good choice and good luck

. I'm shooting for a "conservative 166" mhz FSB w/ my 768mb PC2100.

Kevin get a whole saw or the fron hole. Run it on a drill press as slow as you can. And use wd 40 as a lube. Then take your dremel (If you have one) with a sanding drum to finish it up. Makes a nice hole. I did that with mine. (see my thread in cooling) Works wonderfully.
