The Powerful 8RGA+ BIOS
Epox motherboards have always
been very overclocker/tweaker friendly in the BIOS and the 8RGA+ is
no different.
Advanced
Chipset Features look pretty much the same for all nForce2 motherboards, but
Epox add's one option not available on most other nForce2 IGP based
motherboards.
Here, they
allow you to adjust the onchip AGP Frequency! Onboard graphics has some tweaks
as well!
In "Power BIOS" we have
our voltage options. There is one option here that's not available on any other nForce2
motherboard (to my knowledge anyway) and that's VDD Voltage options. If you frequent
any hardware forums, you no doubt know how those who have done the VDD mod have
gotten quite a bit higher overclocks... well Epox takes the need for the mod away
as you can adjust your VDD voltage from 1.6V up to 2V!
CPU voltage goes as high as 2.2V so voltage
modifications are not needed for those
more hardcore overclockers in the crowd. AGP voltage can be increased to 1.8V, and
DIMM voltage maxes out at 2.9V. It would have been nice for
Epox to allow DIMM voltages up to 3.2V like many of their older VIA based motherboards but
I suppose they have a good reason for not.
