I might be getting an Epox 8KHA+ to replace an Asus A7M266 mobo that's screwing up all over the place (and I don't like cleaning it up).
I like much of what I've seen about this mobo, but I also saw some complaints about the pickieness of the KT2266A chipset. My PS is an Allied AMD approved 400W, and I want to make sure that if I get this mobo, I'll be able to run it without the problems that others are having.

i'd like to know also, i wanted to get a EPOX 8KHA+ to replace a crappy Abit KT7 that is the ultimate piece of crap. I have a Enermax 350watt power supply, will it work ok with the EPOX ? As for the allied supply you have, i have never heard of them, but if your not having problems now, i wouldn't worry too much. i have heard of 5v line problems with the EPOX 8K7A, but i wasn't sure about the 8KHA+

I run an 8KHA+ on a 300W Codogen PSU. ([email protected])

The above PSU's should both run an 8KHA+ fine.

this enermax has problems keeping stable voltages on a power friendly abit KT7, although there is some screwed up capacitors on the board which i need to replace may be putting a drain on the PSU. If this supply dosent work, i'll either have to make a 5v line booster, or just get a antec 412x 400 watt PSU, these have adjuster screws to fine tune the power output.
