OK, so don't tell me how to determine the manufactured date, but my boards that just arrived from mwave with the round heat sink say Rev: 1.0 at the bottom of the board.
To be fair though, when testing the memory with the suggested memory timings I was able to hit 225 MHz FSB with a voltage of 2.8V. When I turned down the memory timings to most conservative, the Corsair XMS3500 would do an amazing 235 MHz FSB! However performance at those settings was lower than at 217 MHz with the most aggressive memory timings so higher MHz do not necessarily mean a performance gain.
Integer ALU - 256MB Corsair XMS3500 (217/434 MHz) 3067 MB/s Float FPU 2769 MB/s

The serial number is also on the cardboard box the motherboard came in. It is my speculation that boards after 9/1/02 are being manufacturered with the square heatsink.

What you have is the JABOD raid configuration, or the recording ability formerly known as, Just A Bunch Of Drives.How can i make the 'highpoint' to detect my stuff ???
...is already a pretty toasty reading to consider O/Cing from... JMHO.Im currently running at 46.5C...

put a Sunon on it..<edit>Panaflo 80mm Fan
if its a 100FSB proc..run 100..if its 133(aka 266..) ..well guess you know now(2) JCK1, on page 3-5 of the Manual shows the CPU HOST CLOCK SELECT in Default position closing pins 1-2: 100MHz. I'm going to use this setting when I first boot the mainboard, but do I need to position to 2-3: 133MHz when I want to eventually set the fsb=166? [Y,N]?
most likely non-monitored if that's( and it does show it in the manual as such..) what the manual says but until you put a fan that has the signal feature on it and it noshows in a prog like the USDM..you won't know..neither will I ..if I don't finish assembling the mobo..(1) FANS - There are 3 fan plugs, FAN1, CPU FAN is clear, FAN2, CHASSIS FAN is I suppose for a case fan, and FAN3, POWER FAN. I have an Antec True Power PS which has a 3 pin plug for plugging into the mobo for the purpose of monitoring the speed of the inner of the PS's 2 fans. This I assume is to be plugged into FAN3 POWER FAN. However, page 3-8 shows the pin voltages for the 3 fans and FAN1 shows {GND, +12V, Rotation}, as does FAN2, but FAN3 shows {GND, +12V, NC}!? I think when Epox says "POWER FAN" they mean it's an unmonitored plug and simply pure power only. [Y,N]?
I don't wish to answer that yet..still assembling..(3) IDE3/4 on page 3-9. Can I use one of these to connect a 3rd IDE device, (hdd or CDROM) if I have an extra cable and if I want only one device on each cable? [Y,N]?

Hey guys just thought id join the crowd. Looks like a great forum to post on. This thread definitely soldified me buying the 8k5a3+. But now time for the questions. This was my first build and i was very pleased with how easy it was to do. I cant seem to get the Fast, Fastest, or Turbo memory timings to work for some odd reason. Here are my system specs and pertinent information:
Epox 8k5a3+ (obviously)
AthlonXP Agoia 1800+
Arctic Silver III
Corsair 512mb DDR PC2700 XMS
Thermalright AX-7 with Panaflo 80mm Fan
Antec True 430W PSU
WinXP Service Pack 1
VDimm is 2.57v
VCore is 1.78v
I tried increasing the VDimm by 0.2v with it on Fastest and Turbo and still it locked up right after booting to login screen. Any ideas?

Question #2
Sandra is showing my Chipset as a KT266/A Chipset. I hope this is the same as KT333. Anyone else ever get this???
you are welcome ..SunonUSAOriginally posted by: Michfan4
Thanks Scrap for the fan tip. I will have to definitely look into that. If thats the case ill move the Panaflo into the front of the my case as a HDD Cooler. I hope Insane can help me out with these RAM timings. Its frustrating to say the least to not use them.

Ill see what i can do. I have a friend who has a similar setup and was able to get to the Turbo setting at a VDimm of about 2.8. I tried the same with no luck. The odd thing to me was that not even the Fast mode would work and that doesnt change the timings at all. Odd.
