    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    @Davegod: The "memory frequency" is actually a divider, mem frequency to CPU Frequency (roughly speaking), so "200MHz" is 1:1, "166MHz" is 5:6, etc. There's a little bit of a lookup table in the "Quicky and Dirty A64 clocking guide" thread (link). Basically, if you set your CPU frequency to...

    Yeah, I've been using the latest BIOS, dated 4/18/06, and I haven't had any USB2 issues.

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    I've got the NB47J and it's currently overclocked at 250x10, no worries. It's just a little warm to the touch, but I haven't had any crashes because of it. If you've got good airflow in that area, I wouldn't be too concerned about it, but that's just me.

    wb182: I believe that if you install the nVidia SATA/IDE drivers, you'll get that "safely remove hardware" icon. I don't know if you can get rid of it (short of uninstalling the nVidia IDE drivers), but you could always use XP's "hide inactive icons" feature so that you never see it. That's...

    MS Paint and MS calculator

    Paint is nice for quick and dirty edits when I don't want/need to wait for a fuller-featured editor to start up (and of course, I'm sure people could point out better picture editors that start up quickly). Technically, I guess they did kinda upgrade Paint for XP by adding jpg support, no? Or...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    sixth: I've got a zalman nb47j on my chipset. It feels hot to the touch and doesn't feel very secure, but it works fine (haven't had any crashes which I can trace to chipset overheating). You might have issues if you've got a big video card cooler, since the zalman is pretty tall, but then I...

    You think you have the quietest PC?

    - Antec Sonata II with duct removed, stock power supply (antec smartpower 2.0 450watt) - XP-90 with a medium-speed 92mm Panaflo...using mobo's built-in speed control to turn it down to about 50% speed (according to SpeedFan). That's pretty much silent. - stock antec 120mm tri-speed fan set on...

    I also <3 speedfan, and control of the CPU fan speed works fine, as does temperature reporting. For me, Speed02 in SpeedFan controls the CPU fan and the others don't do anything (that I can observe).

    Trouble Overclocking with Epox EP-9NPA3ULTRA

    You know, I have 2x512MB Corsair Value Select on an Epox 9npa+Ultra, and I could never boot using the 133 divider. 100, 166, 200...all the others work fine (as long as the resulting memory speed is under around 220MHz). Not sure why that is, but for my overclock, it didn't really make a big...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    I haven't done thorough testing (as in heavy copying to my external drives), but I will say that all my USB devices are now plugged in to the motherboard ports, USB BIOS settings at default (with USB2.0 enabled), and my computer has been on since my last post (so about 4 days now), downloading...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    Thanks for sharing the beta BIOS. I e-mailed them about two weeks ago and they sent me a beta BIOS dated 1/23, but I've been too busy to really test it out. I'll test out this new one (I guess the date is 2/09?) over the weekend.

    Is having your case open just as as effective as fans?

    I did some reading and you and duragezic are correct and I am wrong. I guess I didn't really retain as much knowledge from my acoustics class in college as I thought I did :)

    AMD 3800+ x2 Question on Stepping?????

    E4 = Manchester core 2x512kb L2 cache E6 = Toledo core 2x1024kb L2 cache with half the cache disabled, plus an updated memory controller (so I've read) From what I remember reading, both overclock about the same (mine's an E4, for reference). edit: typo

    Is having your case open just as as effective as fans?

    A little OT: Half the decibels should be roughly half as loud (that's simplifying it quite a bit). The decibel scale is logarithmic, but so is human hearing. If quietness is your main concern, I would think having the case cover closed would be best. It would at least muffle the sound of...

    EPoX EP-9NPA3ULTRA & overclock problems

    Have you tried lowering the HTT multiplier to 4x? I forget which exact menu it's under, but it's the second or third one on the left side (Advanced chipset options, or something similar). Your HTT speed is the product of the FSB and the HTT multiplier and should be as close to 1000MHz as...

    X2 3800+

    Rev E6 is Toledo. Also you can tell because the model number ends with "CD" (Manchester is "BV"). CPU-Z shows Manchester because I guess the current version was released before the Toledo core came out. Here's the AMD site to look up processor information, but it doesn't have core names...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    I don't think it makes a difference, honestly. I know some boards will give errors if the CPU fan RPM drops below a threshold, but my fan doesn't report RPMs (so the reading is always 0), and the board boots fine. I even can use the SmartFan feature (i forget what it's called in BIOS, but the...

    Antec Sonata II: Air Duct Compatible with XP-90?

    I was not able to fit the duct with my XP-90 with the fan on. I suppose it might work if you don't attach the fan to the XP-90 (instead screw it into the opening on the air duct), but as others have said, I really don't think the air duct does much good.

    Help with Xp-90 and AS5.

    No need to remove any backplate on the 9npa. Well, at least, I didn't. I just unscrewed the stock retention bracket and screwed on the one that came with the xp-90.

    HELP: USB and EPOX 9NPA+ULTRA Issues!

    This issue does not sound like the x2/usb2.0 issue that's been discussed in the official 9npa+Ultra thread. I'm with Mem that it sounds like a faulty board.

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    The Zalman NB-47J is a passive heatsink for the chipset, and it works pretty well (I'm using it now). I agree that the Epox chipset fan is rather loud.

    Capslock notification

    This sounds like the most likely case to me, except that logitech's software (and my parent's eMachine) displays big green text at the bottom center of the screen.

    Not all Startup Applications are Starting on XP.

    Have you checked task manager to see if they're running and the icon is just not showing? I remember I had this problem a few weeks ago, and it's actually a pretty common issue. Here's one link I found while googling for "system tray startup icons not showing", but most of the articles I saw...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    kikis: the first question I can think of is when you say you "install the chipset driver", which parts do you install? Specifically, do you install the SW IDE driver? Have you tried not installing that specific component?

    Epox Socket 939 vcore fluctuation - a straw poll

    I've used a program called RMClock in the past as an alternative to CnQ. I don't recall, though, if RMClock could take the voltage any lower than CnQ already did (my instinct says no, but it's worth a look).

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    I have the XP-90, which I think has the same dimensions as the XP-90C, and it fits fine.

    Any guesses on how loud this will be?

    Definitely replace the chipset cooler with something passive like the NB47J if you want quiet. The Epox chipset fan was easily the loudest fan in my computer before I took it out.

    Will a thermalright xp 90 or si 120 fit properly in sonata 2 with airduct?

    I can confirm that the Sonata II airduct doesn't fit with an XP-90 + fan. The duct fits fine if you don't put a fan on the heatsink, though (putting the fan in the duct, perhaps, but I don't know how effective that is for cooling).

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    It's a nice thought, but not really an option for me, and I'd imagine for other people. My copy of WinXP has SP2 slipstreamed.

    DrewCU: My USB2.0 PCI card is a Belkin. For the record, I do have USB2.0 problems, and I have the X2 driver installed. I haven't tried disabling SMART yet, but since I crash both when copying to my external hard drive and while web browsing with my wireless LAN adapter, that particular...

    EPoX "EP-9NPA+Ultra" NVIDIA nForce4 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard

    I was just talking about actually putting the XP-90 on there. The first time I did it, I got two of the clips on, and the other side popped up because I wasn't expecting it to do that. Not a big deal, but it meant that I had to reapply my thermal paste and start over.
