I have an 8RDA+ version 1.1. I was wondering where does this version fit into all the versions (best, worst, oldest, last, etc)

Sorry, about all the questions, but I got lost on Epox's website.

as far as ive saw, most of the 8rda's were rev1.1. now what youre looking for are the northbridge stepping. the first was A2, followed by A3, and finally the hyped A1. the A1's normally do 200fsb out of the box, and i think ive read somewhere A2>A3.

you can see what stepping you have by removing the aluminum heatsink on your mobo. i did this by using a blowdrier and heating it up a bit.

Thanks for all your help man.

alright, how do I find out what the stepping is?

Like where would it say what the stepping is?

Take off the Northbrige heatsink and look.

there will be some #'s and @ the end will be either a2 a3

EDIT: just checked, and I have an A2.
