If you read the rules of the epox topic you will find that your not allowed to discuss other manufacturers products. The epox topic is for epox discution, not anything else.

But as this topic is now moved to the AMD section you can slag epox off and worship any other manufacturer you like (bar PC chips :P)

Abit offers 3 phase power where Epox only offers 2. Many will argue this matters little but Abit boards tend to be more overclockable in the CPU department.
This is just plain wrong, the 8rda+ has one of the best designed and performing 3 phase arrangments avalable. Ive heard several respected overclockers cryticise the NF7-S 2.0's power regulation stating that the 1.2's was better, but ive not used the board myself.
I think my 3gig barton overclocks show that with the right chip and cooling the 8rda+ is able to perform along with the best as far as CPU overclocks. My 8rda+ has no heatsinks on the mosfets BTW, just a 80mm fan at 7v.

I think you will do better with your new gear, but this will mainly be due to you PSU change (as many of your previous problems were probably related to PSU) and also that your moving to the better overclocking C1 chipset.

Best of luck with your new gear, let us know how you get on with it. I hope you can give the same crytical oppinions of the Abit as you have on your Epox board.
