Feel free to contribute Nice list. I might look at it later (again). My German (writing) is not that good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartx Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 What do you guys now about Epox 8RDAx PRO boards? There is almost no info about them, looks like they were the latest Epox boards on S462. I think they may have different MCP. For sure they have better CPU VRM, 4 chokes instead of 3 and quite a lot of Mosfets in RAM VRM. http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/epox-motherboards/24417-awaiting-for-8rda3-pro.html?fbclid=IwAR2qHyWZs77W6uZURDmvljtqedg-0cMwVvMmsB2jKjtm0Ib1JrvuoZ-bO0s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I can tell you they were good boards, when you got a good one. They all suffered from Epox sudden death syndrome, and were just as temperamental as the DFI boards. Pretty much just as hard to find as an Ultra B right now.

bartx Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not really, there are at least 3 here in Poland for sale at this moment for not much money (less than 25 euro). I may take one or two and check. I think people confuse it like I do with regular 8RDA which was very common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks.nl Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It is not hard, I just need to go upstairs ?. I have never had much issues with my 8rda6+ pro. It runs without a single issue for years now. I can’t tell for other boards thow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before flashing, please make sure, that CMOS register 73-78 are free. You can check it with this program. It should look something like this (in this screen CMOS register 73-78 are used by my mod): Some things left to say: the FSB Frequency is limited in the BIOS by 250MHz. 256KB BIOS! BPL is 3.09 by default, I left it in the original version. I do not own good BPL Versions for 256kb BIOSes. This BIOS versions should work, but they are completely untested! I will not be responsible for any damages! Having a programmed backup bios chip before flashing is not a bad idea. 8RDA3I_EBED_A6.zip 385.63 kB · 3 downloads 8RDA3I_ED_A6.zip 385.73 kB · 2 downlds 8RDA3I_X1_A6.zip 385.56 kB · 3 downloads I flashed the EBED version , on my version 2.0 , 8RDA3I Everything worked smoothly , and the board bios booted and memtested up to 240 with 2x512MB and 245 with 2x256MB I will further test , when i have more free time. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRM looks indeed different. 8RDA3 range from rev1.1 over 2.1 to 3.1. 3.1 has really small mosfets and used some kind of "mosefet cooling on the pcb". The Pro boards seem to have the same but stronger VRM. Rev2.1 and under could give 2.0V to CPUs but newer revisions were a bit lower AFAIR. Nforce NB should be late 2003 or newer and might be capable of nice FSB. Edited August 11, 2020 by Strunkenbold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, maybe this needs some more investigation for the Pro series. What PCB ver and BIOS have you been using? CPU has a free multi?

I am using ticktacs bios now, but the version from digitalbath or the original latest bios has the same issue. I don’t see any revision numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAGG Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 @Sparks.nl Have you ever gotten around to test the K7N2 Delta-ISLR BIOSs? cause i got one of those recently and would like to know how the EBED bios worked for you (guessing on a -L?)

I quick tested it in doing 260MHz fsb on a ed bios. Ebed should do better. I never really binned all off my boards. I should do it someday... I play around with socket 7 too much these days... Indeed it is a -L. Edited October 4, 2020 by Sparks.nl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks.nl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It actually was a good buy when I look back. The MSI seems to be a great board, it is just that the bios was not that great back then. I still have 2 AN7 but these are not that stable. I don’t really use them untill I really have to. I had a 3rd which did a 270 post but 1 dimm slot was broken.

grease90s Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I wish it was a dfi lanparty ultra b but i have a chance at the red infinity needs work just caps but boots. Its super cheap im thinking of jumping on it. Other wise plan A is still my 2 asus a7n8x v2's. Either got plenty of bh5,tccd and micron to throw at these in the meantime. Good work guys.

Figured but trading my also not impressive dfi lanparty 875rev a for it. I think on the plus side its atleast better then that lol. Im kinda thin on nf2 department to many kt266a-333 boards for voodoos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Nothing wrong with the Infinity board. It's a LP Ultra B without the bling. You can use the Ultra B bios's on it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorn Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Welllll... I think I did it... again. NF7 is "dead". Soldered a Vmod to it now it's presumbly gone. It worked for a while after it failed the hard way - red blinking LED and SB is heating like hell. Stuck or shorted SB, as I think. Is there a way to revive it? Dead forever? Exchanging the SB with a new one?
