    GREAT DEAL - OFFICE DEPOT Desk chair Reg. 299.00, now $49.99!!

    Got my chair today, assembled it fairly quickly. It isn't bad. There is a pad right in your lower back for support, but it is going to take some getting used to. THe armrests are a little funky in that they angle down rather steeply so they aren't much support for your forearms. Anyway it is...

    Does the K7T-Turbo have a "4 phase power" system?

    The vote is split on that. Dulanic says no, DaddyG says yes. Both are respected members of the forum community. I think Asus' 2 PPS probably will handle the CPUs but I'm glad I don't have to worry about it.

    Does the K7T-Turbo have a "4 phase power" system?

    Here are the KT133A boards I know for sure: 3 PPS (phase power solution): Epox 8KTA3 Abit KT7A 2 PPS: ASUS Don't know about MSI or others. My understanding is that 2 MOSFETs = 1 phase. 6 MOSFETs = 3 PPS, 4 MOSFETs = 2 PPS. There has been speculation that 2 PPS boards may have heat and...

    Poll: Asus A7V133/ Abit KT7A / MSI K7T Turbo / Epox 8KTA3 ???

    I have an Epox 8KTA3 w/ Duron 800 and was just recently able to get it to overclock (6.5x145). Who else has mobo diagnostic LED #s?? Stable, fast. My vote: 8KTA3 the Epox and Abit have 3 phase power solutions while Asus is 2 phase power solution. Don't know about MSI. This has been hashed...

    Update o/c'ing 8KTA3 -- success!! with Duron 800

    I was having a lot of failure trying to overclock my Duron 800 on an Epox 8KTA3. It simply would not post @ 133 MHz FSB no matter what I set the multiplier to in the bios. I was also having a lot of trouble upping the default voltage on the L7s. You can read more about these problems in...

    QUESTION....Is the A7V133 2 Phase or 3 Phase?

    Informant X: Yes, but apparently there are no conclusions to be drawn from that. There is no way to know whether it will be a problem in the future or not. The degree of the problem will vary from a total screw to no problem at all depending on the voltage requirements of upcoming CPUs and...

    QUESTION....Is the A7V133 2 Phase or 3 Phase?

    @Gothmoth I'm sensing a little hostility here, given your use of caps, and I'm not sure where it is coming from. However your profile says you are in Germany which could possibly mean I am misinterpreting your post. I do understand that you are posting without knowledge as to what I do and do...

    QUESTION....Is the A7V133 2 Phase or 3 Phase?

    Here is the bottom line question though: Will the Asus A7V133 be compatible with Palmino and Morgan CPUs? I haven't really seen this question addressed well here. Please actual knowledge and educated guesses only, to keep down on 'wild speculation'. Thus far it seems like DaddyG is leaning...

    QUESTION....Is the A7V133 2 Phase or 3 Phase?

    Grumble grumble. I RMA'd my Epox 8KTA3 because it is having major trouble getting to 133 MHz FSB with my Duron 800--see the myriad of threads here on the subject--in exchange for an ASUS A7V133. The 8KTA3 *does* have a 3PPS. So it looks like I will be getting a better FSB currently but I may...

    8KTA3 strange o/c quirk?

    This particular quirk seems to be coming out of the woodwork on the main Epox newsgroup on the Epox news server, particularly with people who have Duron 800+ CPUs. The quirk is being reported as this: When switching JP5, the jumper that controls the FSB from 100 MHz default to 133 MHz default...

    Overclockerz / OCZ : Horrible business practices!

I wrote earlier in this thread that I was having trouble getting a hold of them. The ended up...

    EMERGENCY HELP PLS--- Getting 8KTA3 up and running!

    Thanks everyone for responding. On the Epox newsgroup, a customer support representative gave a solution that solved my problem and DaddgyG also hinted at it. Surprisingly enough, he advised me simply to clear the CMOS and restart. That solved the problem, although I am at a loss to know why...

    EMERGENCY HELP PLS--- Getting 8KTA3 up and running!

    DaddyG, I believe I checked all the jumpers but it did not specifically leap into my mind to check the clear CMOS jumper so maybe I missed it. I am at work, but may be able to swing home at lunch and try to boot w/o the video card to see which error code comes up. Do you have any idea what...

    Thanks much to those that have replied with suggestions. Here are replies, but please don't take these as saying that I have ruled out any problems, I am just hoping they will generate additional advice: I doubt the power supply is the problem. It is 300W and should be giving the CPU, mobo...

    EMERGENCY HELP PLS--- Getting 8KTA3 up and running!

    Tried your suggestion by connecting everything to the Epox with it unconnected to the tray or case. Same deal. Thanks for the suggestion though. I also tried a PCI video card instead of the GeForce 2 GTS. I am baffled by the idea that the board shows FF, i.e. all clear, but I am getting...

    EMERGENCY HELP PLS--- Getting 8KTA3 up and running!

    Regarding the shorting issue, what would I be doing to cause the short? I am using the same spacers and screws from the Soyo. Regarding the AGP card, what do you mean? Are you saying I should put an AGP card into another, non-AGP slot? I've never heard of that before. There are no beeps...

    Good news for Epox 8KTA3 owners -- 3 Phase Power Solution

    That is excellent. I know when I heard that 'many' KT133a boards would not be supporting 3PPS I e-mail Epox right away to confirm. I have not heard back, but I trust HardOCP's review. If people know of a KT133a board not supporting this feature they should try and get the word out for people...

    Good news for Epox 8KTA3 owners -- 3 Phase Power Solution

    HardOCP posted their Epox 8KTA3 review, stating: "One big kicker here that you have seen us promote with one other KT133A series board is 3 PHASE POWER. While it is not really advertised in any of the literature I have seen from EPoX, it seemed from the MOSFET layout on the board that it...

    Overclockerz / OCZ : Horrible business practices!

    I may also be having some difficulty with OCZ. On 1/11/01 I ordered 256 MB PC150 RAM, a Duron 800 and a HSF. As far as I can tell, the order has not yet shipped. 2 e-mails and 2 phone messages later, I have not received a peep from them about the status of my order despite the fact that it...

    Arctic silver on shim?

    Er, just to be clear, you mean don't use the arctic silver on the shim, but use it at the contact point between the CPU core and the HSF right?

    Arctic silver on shim?

    Thank you very much for the information. You'd think if there was any issue to the shim transferring heat back to the CPU they wouldn't have made the damn thing out of copper. Is the shim worth putting on?

    Arctic silver on shim?

    I recently ordered an Epox 8KTA3, 256 MB PC150 CAS2 RAM, and a Duron 800. To overclock, I ordered an OCZ 2-fan HSF, a conductive pen, some Arctic Silver, and a copper shim designed for a Duron. I think I have everything I need to get started except a magnifying glass and a steady hand. One...

    Wow, download accelerator actually works!

    I like Download Accellerator Plus, but I do have a problem with it that may be associated with my settings for it. I have it set up so that it is my default download manager, meaning whenever I go to 3dfiles.com or wherever, it automatically detects and starts the download. My problem is that...

    Is this upgrade worth it? AMD K6-3 to AMD Duron 1020...

    (a) all the more reason to get a board with just a bit more performance right now, and (b) Why would you handicap a Duron 600 with 100 FSB when for no extra $$ for a KT133a board you could run it at 133+ especially if you don't plan on upgrading for so long? Finally, (b) how could you not...

    Can retail duron 700 do 931 without V increase?

    Even though the new 133 T-Birds and Durons are not out (I haven't even heard about officially announced 133 Duron CPUs), you can put a 100 MHz FSB CPU into a KT133a and run it at 133+ MHz as long as you connect the L1 bridges to *lower* the multiplier. That's unusual only because usually you...

    Please advise on what to use to close Duron L1 bridges.

    http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/mainboards/abit/kt7a/index.html LSM, check the HardOCP article address above or the XBit address mentioned a couple posts back. The AMD CPUs they are using are 100 FSB parts running beyond spec. The KT7A HardOCP review starts as follows: "I know there are...

    Please advise on what to use to close Duron L1 bridges.

    My understanding is that the KT133a chipset motherboards allow for FSB overclocking. If that is an incorrect assumption someone let me know asap. You use the L1 bridge closing to reduce the multiplier to run at a higher FSB speed, such as 7x143=1000. If my understanding is incorrect, someone...

    Please advise on what to use to close Duron L1 bridges.

    LordSandMan we are now talking about the KT133a chipset where the CPU bus is synched with the memory bus, i.e. the CPU and memory both run at 133+ (266) FSB. Thereby 7x143 would be a good bit faster than 10x100, assuming you have memory that can handle a FSB of 143. With the KT133a chipset...

    Please advise on what to use to close Duron L1 bridges.

    I'll need water cooling to o/c the Duron 800? I was figuring that I could probably get up to 980 (7x140) with just the OCZ 2-fan heatsink/cooler combo, or perhaps 1GHz (7.5x133 or 7x143). I have read that it is very difficult and not particularly useful to o/c a Duron past that point, as the...

    Please advise on what to use to close Duron L1 bridges.

    I have ordered an Epox 8KTA3, 256 MB OCZ PC150 2/2/2 memory and a Duron 800 to replace my 5EMA+, AMD K6-2 500 & 128 MB PC100 generic ram (worse yet, 2 different sticks of 64 MB PC100 generic). I could have gone with a 1GHz T-Bird and 128 MB PC150 2/2/2 for about the same price, but some...

    Is this upgrade worth it? AMD K6-3 to AMD Duron 1020...

    Nullity, please if you are considering buying a new mobo go with a KT133a instead of a KT133. With the KT133a, you can even keep your current PC100 RAM and still buy the same Duron and run the setup at 100 FSB, but you'll be in position for much better upgrades down the road. For example, you...

    Where can I get PC2100 DDR SDRAM real cheap?

    Nucleus, the reviews so far show the performance difference between PC1600 and PC2100 as basically the difference between having a DDR system (the 2100) and a KT133a system w/ PC133 RAM (the PC1600). The only benefit to having PC1600 w/ DDR over KT133a with SDR is that you have a motherboard...

    I ordered the 8KTA3 from MWave yesterday and then e-mailed to see if they were in stock. CLaudia, a customer rep, wrote back and said they were not in stock and I could cancel my order. I replied that I would not cancel my order yet but I inquired as to when they would arrive and be shipped...

    Tom shows DDR to be alot better then what Anand showed.

    Currently though the best bang for the buck still has to be the KT133a boards IMO. 2+ months from now, who knows, but not now. To get the performance you want you have to wait for the of-now unreleased 760 chipset and then it'll still cost a good bit more than the KT133a's plus shell out extra...

    KT133a -- 128 MB PC133 CAS2 or 256 MB PC133 CAS3 or 128 MB PC150?

    With all the interest by myself and others looking to get a KT133a board, I am surprised ppl aren't discussing memory options more. Any help here?
