Hi All:

I have had two bad Epox 8RDA3+ in a row. Neither was much older then 3 months old. I really don't mod the voltage or dimms. Just OC the chip.
Anyway, I am ready to try out a new brand of board. This is what I have on my short list.

Am I headed in the right direction? Also if there are others I should consider, please let me know.
Thanks
Bill

Given Soltek no longer has a corporate presence in the USA & Abits outstanding 3 year warranty & excellent online community support I'd say you're down to 1!!! IMHO

bios stability issues, cold boot issues, quality is not as good, build layout is terrible; floppy port is in a terrible and awkward spot, 12v rail is in worst spot just a bad design if u ask me not to mention i don't think it performed well either.
