I'm wondering if the ECS K7VTA3 ver. 5 is the Dodge Neon of mobos. Its CPU core voltage regulator is 2-phase with seven 3300uF filter capacitors (8th one left out), compared to 3-phase with eleven 3300uF capacitors for the K7VTA3 ver. 3. I thought that more phases at a given base frequency meant less capacitance was needed |
and compare it to the ripple of a known high-quality
board.
If no scope, then load the system with the fastest
available processor and AGP card, and speed up the
BIOS timings and overclock until the board just
starts to become stable. Then add all the missing
capacitors, and if stability improves you've proved
that the board had been cheapened too much.

If a 6 cylinder car only had 5 spark plugs, then obviously you wouldn't buy that car. 6th grade analogies aside, this is a moot point. A shill for ECS? Obviously I wouldn't buy the motherboard either. Huh? My point had absolutely nothing to do with ECS. Do you turn off logic circuits when you go into argue mode? Then why did you post it in this thread? Of course it did, you were trying to imply something about the missing components. |
