EPoX 9NPA+ (NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra) Motherboard Review

EPoX has delivered an excellent product in the 9NPA+. It provides a ton of options, great overclocking and very nice performance all at a reasonable price. If you are looking to upgrade to a new PCI Express Athlon64 system and are looking for a board that won’t let you down take a look at the EPoX EP-9NPA+ nForce4 Ultra. If you have decided to go for an SLI configuration, EPoX is slated to release an nForce4 SLI board some time in March 2005.

We were extremely impressed with the overclocking that we were able to achieve with the 9NPA+. The extremely stable voltages provided by the board helped greatly in securing a good stable overclock at such high speeds. Even though this board may not come with all the frills that many people have begun to expect, it is more than capable of making up for it with extra MHz.
