9NPA+SLI Mainboard Intro 1/5
EPoX EP-9NPA+SLI A couple of weeks ago, we looked at EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra which offers excellent performance and stability in overclocking. Today, we take a look at its SLI equivalent, the EPoX 9NPA+SLI mainboard. EPoX 9NPA+SLI mainboard is based on the NVIDIA NF4 SLI chipset supporting 2 x PCI-E graphics card for best gaming performance. This mainboard supports the Socket 939 Athlon 64FX processors. It supports 1GHz HTT FSB, Dual Channel DDR400, 8 Channel Audio, 10 USB ports, 2 x PCI-E x 8 (or 1 x PCI-E x 16), GbE LAN, 6 SATA II RAID (4 by NV chipset, 2 others by Siliconimage) and 1394. Embedded Firewall with Active Armour comes with the chipset and it can be enabled for a more secured computing environment. There are also abundant overclocking features built onboard in the PowerBIOS. They include ram timing adjustments, voltage adjustments (vdimm up to 3.1v, Vcore). FSB up to 400MHz, Maxmemclk etc (see gallery for more). The package contains quite a good array of tools which can be used to enhance your experienece with this board. Firstly, there is this green coloured duct which can be fixed at the rear of the mainboard to cool down the MOSFETs near the power connectors. This area has been proven to be one of the hottest areas that needs adequate cooling. There are 2 brackets available in the package. One is for 2xUSB 2.0 and the other is 2 x 1394 ports. IDE and SATA cables are also provided. In the PowerPack you will see a heat sensor, a EPoX badget, SLI bridge, SATA power connector, small heatsinks, backplate and a screwdriver.
