I think the official position is this.

Epox provide unsupported overclocking options on there boards.

We do not provide any official overclocking support, or support for overclocking options..

So the board is only officially rated for stock voltages.
In the same way we dont officially support FSB over 166mhz.

The option is there for the extreme overclockers to use 2.2v, it works for some and not for others this is the nature of overclocking.

Why can`t you just test 3Boards and confirm the problems or not ?

You just don't get it, do you? IMPORTANT additional rules governing our EPoX topic makes for good reading if you find this confusing. If you just come here to complain, we can't help you.

Funny thing is that if you read my posts on other topics ive said that I also have this problem at 2.2v core with the board shutting down.

well if in the furture a Tbred a or b comes out that has a default voltage of 1.7v it should be safe to run it at 2.2v

(as stated by AMD a +.5v is the max for Tbreds a and b)

My voltage for 1.925v set in bios is a little higher - 1.95v or so on post, maybe I got a good board. This is the first I have heard of the board not being able to reach 2.2v. This is one of the selling points of the board. As such I believe review sites should clearly state that this is an "unsupported overclocking option" and furthermore that it cannot be reproduced on all boards.:nervous:
