Just installed new 8K3A, have a few questions...

I have a really old generic case with a reasonable amount of exhaust holes in it. Have 1 case fan in bottom front. I tried removing cpu/cooler and bent thermal diode so that it stands straight up (predictably, this raised temps even more). I am still hoping that the temp reading is just...

Just installed new 8K3A, have a few questions...

I got my epox, xp 1800, 256MB OCZ pc2400 memory, and Hercules Fortissimo II sound card from newegg today. Things went remarkably well on the install : ) However, the CPU temp is reported as 61.5C - this seems a bit high to me. I have the standard retail athlon cooler installed that came with...

Get 8K3A or wait for 8K3A+?

I don't think I'll be needing the raid, and don't really care about the LED indicator. Is there anything else different between the two? By the way, the 8K3A I'm looking at is apparently revision 1.0, is this a problem? The 8K3A+ is sold out at newegg, while the 8K3A is in stock, so it's not...

Which of these KT333 motherboards to get?

This board specifies Realtek ALC650 (AC-Link) for sound. Is this hardware audio (comparable to seperate sound card)? Or is it just crap software CPU-eating garbage? Also, does anybody sell this yet?

What is your opinion on the EPOX 8K3A KT333CE ?

About the temperature, does the v1.0 have the ability to read from the on-chip XP thermal diode? Does it have the safety circuit to shut down the system? If not, will the v1.1 board have these features? I ask because I have notoriously bad luck with computer fans dying on me.

Motherboard/Thoroughbred questions

I'm new to posting here but have been lurking for a couple weeks :) Basically, I'm looking for a new motherboard/cpu/ram/soundcard setup. CPU wise, I'm considering the Athlon XP 1800 or P4 1.6A. Would it be better to go with the AMD or get the Intel chip and overclock it to around 2.2GHz...
