and i mean total.
its an overclocking toy/bench board .
all lytics were replaced and upgraded.
all the small ones were tayeh and stunk when i unsoldered them.they gunked up the desoldering stations filter they were so nasty!

Looks really nice, great little board!

Those twin segmented LEDs are one of it's most appealing features, next to layout & performance IMHO

Yeah, I agree with Taz. I love my 8RDA3I+Pro and wouldn't hesitate to recap one of these boards once I had enough practice.

that green cpu fan is... cute

i have problem with the 8kha/8k3a though, they seem to hate my creative usb mouse or other usb mouse. it have to be replugged before it can works. usb fd or other usb devices can run well with it, though.

I prefered the blue AMD ones

BTW my USB camera & webcam don't seem to have any issues with my 8K3A+ in either Windows or Linux (webcam isn't supported though)

Re: ep-8kha+ extreeme makover total recap.

something funny happened at the cincinnatti hamfest sunday.
i bought 3 of these boards for $5.the seller told me he was gonna hunt me down on badcaps forums to have me do one up like the one i posted here.
he had been here an seen my post and pics.
thought he was gonna fall over with heart failure when i pulled out my ticket and he saw my callsign.
his wife bought a new system so he dumped this stack of mobo's at the hamfest.
1 has an athlon xp 2800 on it!
he said if they didnt sell he was gonna drop them in the can
seemed shocked anyone would pay even $5 for visably blown up stuff.

Re: ep-8kha+ extreeme makover total recap.

event like hamfest is really a great moment for 'hunter' like us. here we don't have 'hamfest' but we have a place where you can still search old hardwares like p2 or p3 systems/component. i bought some old newton, delta, or hipro psu with cheap prices per item, less than $4. cases with ibm psu is $7-8. p3 cpu is ~$15-25. that's why i am optimist that until 2010 the ordinary people don't need anything higher than 1-1.7ghz cpu, wether it is p3, tualation, duron, athlon etc. think about some student with low budget in third world country, they need a computer and wont bother if it's all only worth $40 including the monitor. you wasting good hardwares will just make us mad

BTW my USB camera & webcam don't seem to have any issues with my 8K3A+ in either Windows or Linux (webcam isn't supported though)

my solution is to use cheap usb card. epox board seem to hate (usb) mice.
