There are two reasons I haven't chosen either the 8K5A2 nor the new 8K9A, those being that Via is rumored to be readying a VT400A, and also because of EPoX's decision to back off on reading the on-die thermosensor in the AthlonXPs and newer Durons due to confused users returning perfectly good boards because of the more accurate, and thus higher temps they were seeing. I strongly suggest everyone contact EPoX and tell them you want to see the actual temps, instead of totally inaccurate lower temps.

That's really dumb; they should put a larger label on the box or manual to tell users about this. Sucks that they have to pull useful features to appease the ignorant.:|


As for the 8K9A2+ - what, no AGP voltage adjustment?

What do you think about Epox 8K9A? Bios is still new and the board hasn't show their max performance. Do you think this board will beat in performance (not features like RAID, etc...) to Epox 8K5A2+?
