Conclusion
Epox
has made another winner with their 8KTA3+Pro.
The added FSB settings, added voltage and the
removal of the jumper setting for toggling 100mhz
and 133mhz fsb speeds make the board even more
overclocker friendly. Also, the improvements on
the board clearly shows that Epox does listen
to its consumer. Now of course no board is perfect
and the 8KTA3+Pro is no exception. I was really
disappointed with my FSB overclocking and I'm
blaming it on the northbridge cooling. Now I'm
not saying that all the boards out there have
bad heatsinks since my test board might be an
isolated case. But anyway, I'm sure that any serious
overclocker would not settle for stock cooling
so the bad heatsink should not be too much of
an issue.
Make
no mistake, the 8KTA3+Pro is very much overclockable
and could give your processor the boost that you
couldn't get from other boards. Of course, you
can always modify other boards to give more voltages
but the Pro is the only one to give it to you
out of the box. That in my opinion, makes this
board an overclocker's choice.
