    Epox 8RDA3+ Chipset Fan problem

    Well, I did quite a bit of swearing, but finally managed to remove it. That was, unfortunately, the easy part. Lining up the holes with those teeny tiny screws and bolts and nuts was a pure nightmare. I have big hands and working with things that small is a PITA. I prayed I got them lined...

    Epox 8RDA3+ Chipset Fan problem

    Hi all, I got the Zalman thing, now I'm trying to install it. I got the heatsink fan from the Epox cooler off, and the heatsink part that is left is detached from the northbridge, but the two little "doohickey" plunger type things are still holding it onto the Mobo... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...

    Epox 8RDA3+ Chipset Fan problem

    Hello all, One of the PC's I built a while back is having a noise problem, I narrowed it down to the small "Epox" fan/heatsink on the chipset. I unplug it, no more noise ;).... I've thought about contacting Epox to see if I can get a replacement for it, but getting the serial number would...

    Give your opinion on this setup

    What is a good wattage for a PS? I just bought a 550 TruePower 2 Antec one "just in case" my mom's machine needed it. It wasn't a huge amount more expensive than smaller ones, so I said to heck with it. I've had a couple power supplies go bad on me in the past, so I wanted one that was...

    Give your opinion on this setup

    No, don't plan on OCing anything. And I've had every single Epox board I've bought and used turn up with bad capacitors within 2 years. So I'm tired of that... That's 6 boards, 5x8RDA+'s, and 1 8KHA+. I've searched for the Opteron 165, and its well nigh impossible to find at the moment.

    What pieces to go with EPoX 8RDA3+ PRO? Chip/memory?

    Ok, it turned out at the 7F code that it was the monitor just not wanting to "wake" up, once I tried a different monitor I could see what was going on. Turning off and back on that first monitor "fixed" it. It had been waiting for me to press F1, but I couldn't see that heh. So it finally...

    What pieces to go with EPoX 8RDA3+ PRO? Chip/memory?

    Well, I went out and bought a 512mb 2700 stick of ram, popped it in, and it booted further, up to 7F.... can't get a video feed with either the cheapy FX5200 or an old GeForce 4600 AGP. Any ideas?

    What pieces to go with EPoX 8RDA3+ PRO? Chip/memory?

    Heh. yes, that's what killed the first one problably, and I bought 2 new ones, and the caps are fine on them so far. But do you know what speed/types of chips/memory would go best with a 8RDA3+ PRO?

    What happens when setting up wireless router?

    Do you have a PC already near the modem/router place? You need a setup similar to this: Internet<---->DSL/Cable Modem<--Cat5-->((Wireless Router))<--Cat5-->LAN connected PC ((Wireless Adapter))<--USB or PCI card-->Gaming Rig Excuse the crude text technique. The LAN connected PC...

    What happens when setting up wireless router?

    The ISP has nothing to do with this usually. (Usually). You will need a PC that you can connect directly to the wireless router (it has a 4 port switch on the back). So you will need a PC close by your modem/router to set it up.

    What happens when setting up wireless router?

    Its really not that bad, one thing I remember is I had to power off my computers (the wireless ones) AFTER I made the security changes for them to "see" the "new" changes I made on the router. This is why I kept banging my head 10 times trying to get them to communicate. I was trying to input...

    What pieces to go with EPoX 8RDA3+ PRO? Chip/memory?

    Hi all, A couple weeks ago my mother's PC died that I built for her (8RDA+/AMD 2400). After replacing the motherboard with a newer 8RDA3+PRO, I still can't get it to boot. I would get error E8, which is not mentioned anywhere by any EPoX info. In trying to narrow it down, I put in a spare...

    What happens when setting up wireless router?

    Hi, I bought a linksys router like the one you linked recently, not sure if its the exact same one, but its darn close if not. The router wants you to plug in a direct ethernet connection so that you can "fiddle" with it directly. So I plugged in the PC that was next to the wireless...

    EPoX 8RDA3+PRO Error "E8" when trying to boot.

    Ok, tried to put in an old AMD 1800+ chip, and it boots to error code "1D" now... Initial EARLY_PM_INIT switch is all the manual says of this... No idea what it means.

    Chip problem or mobo problem?

    My mother's Athlon 2400+/EPoX 8RDA+ machine died about a week ago, error code "CF" on the mobo, and it had orange fuzz coming out of some of the capacitors. I decided to replace the motherboard/fan/heatsink on it. I bought 2 EPoX 8RDA3+PRO's, one for my mom, one for my sister's machine who's is...

    EPoX 8RDA3+PRO Error "E8" when trying to boot.

    Tried changing the battery, no dice. Pulled out memory, everything except CPU, still error code e8. I happened to order 2 of the mobos (one to replace my broken mother's one, and my sister's machine is acting wacky, it is the exact same set up as my moms). I popped in the 2nd one, same...

    EPoX 8RDA3+PRO Error "E8" when trying to boot.

    Please help! I have a ticket (I hope) into Epox for this, but their website is... not the best. I registered my product with them, but they can't seem to remember it.

    EPoX 8RDA3+PRO Error "E8" when trying to boot.

    Hi all, My mother's machine I built for her a few years ago died a couple days ago. Stopped booting (8RDA+), would get to "CF" and that's it. It had orange fuzz coming out of a few capacitors so I decided to just get a new mobo, and so I got the closest match I could find, the 8RDA3+PRO...

    New PC needed, advice appreciated

    Thanks all for the advice. I'm not too fond of EpoX at the moment, I've had 4 of 6 EpoX motherboards (mostly 8RDA's I think they are) die before they should (including this PC). Orange fuzz coming out of the capacitors is not a sign of good quality to me. I want a board that doesn't...

    New PC needed, advice appreciated

    No, don't plan on OCing much if at all. I sorta wanted the dual cores because sometimes I am multi-tasking heavy stuff and would like to be able to continue to use the PC. Anyone else have any recommendations?

    Riddle me this bat man...

    2 Different monitors have wavy lines? I'm not an expert by any means, but I've seen my fair share of monitors die over the years and its usually "death by flicker", as my father's 19" Trini is doing now. It tints to blue randomly. Its probably 10 years old or more now though. Since its...

    New PC needed, advice appreciated

    Hi, this PC I'm on is dying (Orange Fuzz coming out of capacitors, HD continually developing bad spots), and I need a new one. I work at home, but I also game a ton, so I think its time I upgraded pretty much everything. I like to have the "fastest" stuff possible, but video cards/chips that...

    Need Advice Re: repair and new PC

    Hello all, This morning, the PC I made for my mother about 2 years ago "died", apparently the motherboard (EPoX 8RDA, error code "CF", no beeps etc). I built 5 of the same kind of machine all at the same time (one for me, one for my brother, sister, mother, father). The motherboards on my...

    Help! PC on death bed... can't diagnos.

    Ok, update: I had set my FSB to 166, thinking it was... I set it back to 133, and now it works (even with the old hard drive). HOWEVER, it now identifies my chip incorrectly, saying its a 2100 instead of 2700. My memory is still at 400MHz, which is as it should be. What can I do...

    Help! PC on death bed... can't diagnos.

    Help! PC on death bed... can't diagnos.

    Hello, My 2nd (and newer PC) I built has bitten the bullet, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. It was an EPoX 8RDA+ /w AMD 2700 XP, 1 GiG of Corsair ram, GeForce 5700 Ultra (PNY), Antec 400W powersupply, etc. 2+ Years old now I think. Well, ever since I got the case/PS, it...

    do ALL Brother copiers curl up paper?

    Yeah, paper is a really big factor in "curl". When I used to work in a copy center, we used laser printer paper for all our copies (and it worked fine), but when people would hand me their own paper (to save cost) and it was cheap junk, or moist, look out. Half the time the cheaper papers would...

    Epox CPU Upgrade /Memory speed question

    Mystery Problem with PC

    Hello, A year ago I built a PC for my father, an AMD-2400, EPoX EP-8RDA+, 512MB of Corsair PC3200 RAM (2x256), a Maxtor HD, Pioneer DVD, and a NVidia MX440 video card (PCI), using a desktop case, an Enlight or something with a 300W powersupply. Well, a few days ago, it stopped working. He...

    Problem with Booting AMD 2400/2 dif mobos

    CPU Upgrade Question

    Thank you for the input. I did what you said, and it appears I'd have to do a bios upgrade to get anything past a XP 2000+ into it. If I did, I could get a 2600+ into it, and that'd be worth while upgrade. I think I will do that.

    CPU Upgrade Question

    My AMD 1800 XP's fan is cruddy, and I asked earlier about replacing one. But as I am looking around at the prices of CPU's, and the lower end CPU's being so cheap, I got to wondering.... just how fast a chip can my older rig handle? Mobo is an Epox EP-8KHA+, 1 GB of PC 2100 RAM. Any advice...
