Ep-8k7a plus AMD 1.2 266 =?

[yy3d]

I just ordered Ep-8k7a and AMD 1.2 266 yesterday. According to the AMD socket A recommened proccessor list from the Epox site link, this mobo seems to be no good to support 1.2 266. Does anyone has that system with 1.2 266 + Ep-8k7a w/o any problem?

well just see, worse comes to worse try flashing the bios with the newest version, and i have seen the new Epox 8k7a+ with a 1.4 on it, basically it should work.
good luck

I have the exact same setup and I've been running stable for 2 weeks now.

Don't believe the list. it runs 1.2 and 1.33 just fine. They need to update the list.

Yep, this combo works fine. I have an Epox 8K7A and an AMD 1.2GHz. (266 FSB) that I just set up this weekend. The processor was automatically detected by the board and everything worked fine.

Good luck!

Hey Appletalking,

My setup runs very hot. At full CPU load, motherboard monitor reports sensor1 at 25C, sensor2(CPU) at 57C, and sensor3 at 39C. What are your temps?

Thanks,

Tom

Never mind, I see your thread

Whoa....Epox 8K7A running at 57??? How your case ventilation?

I run my 1.2Ghz (nonOC) with 8K7A at 36c, and as high as 40-41 at fullload. But never more than that.

Here is what I'm using to cool my system, maybe you guys can make some suggestions.

Inwin S508 case with 2 case fans - not sure of the CFM ratings
Alpha7HO HSF with Sunon fan rated at 22CFM.

I just ordered 2 80mm 40CFM case fans, and I think I will remove the HSF, remove the compound and re-apply Artic Silver II, to see if this makes any difference.
