Articles: Mainboards

Pages: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 ]

A separate page is devoted to adjustable voltages. There are not that many of them, but all the important ones are there. The processor may receive up to +0.4V with 0.0125V increment, the chipset voltage may be raised by +0.3V with 0.1V increment, and the memory voltage – by +0.75V with 0.05V increment. These ranges are amore than enough for successful overclocking. A very convenient feature is that you see the nominal voltage and the resulting voltage after adjustment side by side.

You can change the main memory timings in the Advanced Chipset Features section. There are few of them there, just like on most mainboards built around Intel chipsets. It is nice that at least you can adjust each parameter independently.

Overclocking fans will be interested in PC Health Status section, and it has always been implemented very well by EPoX. You can control and monitor all major voltages, temperatures, fan rotation speeds, and all this data is displayed on the screen on system start-up. Just for a short time, but quite enough to notice if anything is wrong.

If necessary, you can also set up the CPU fan rotation speed adjustment option depending on the processor temperature reading.

As you can see, only the lower maximum FSB frequency for CPUs with less than 266MHz bus speed may be considered a drawback here. Otherwise, the BIOS of the EPoX EP-5P965+ GLI mainboard deserved a “good” mark.
