Neural Interface Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I was reading about you guys talking about RMAing the A7N8X revision 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0. So i looked at mine to see what revision it was and it was 1.2A. I only bought the A7N8X N/D in July do you think have I been given a old mobo or what?? also i live in UK so maybe thats a factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 It shouldn't be that much of a diffrence but just to know you can always contact the manufacturer and ask about the changes in the revision since then. And yes we dont usually think about that buying a new motherboard but we should check on the rev. to get the latest(so it means buyin online is out of the question) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalSloan Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Slightly off topic, but where is the revision print at on the mobo? Or is it the bios? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 The motherboard type and revision should be labeled between the first and second pci slots,in the manual, and BIOS <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 was there even a 1.2 revision? I got mine pretty soon after the board was released, and mine's a 1.4 board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trakfast11 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 i think there only a 1.04 1.06 and a 2.0 never heard of a 1.02 and with taht a its probllay your bios rev check the silk screen between the pci slots i know there are earlier ones. just have to do a quick google search. http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread/t-7934.html When you go to that page: click Ctrl-F and then type "There are 1.01,1.02,1.03,1.04,1.05,1.06 & 2.00 revisions of this board" in the Find field. the earlier versions don't support 400fsb. you could always try doing voltage mods ofcourse.

They dont support it out of the box, but from bios version 1004 and up its suppose to support it. Although, I still think the "support" is a little shotty though. Even so. I have heard if you replace the cmos battery with a new one, itll remedy most of the SBD problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural Interface Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Yea it was the bios that is 1.20a but that has lead to another funny thing about the board, I don't know if this is normal but i looked between the pci slots and seen a sticker saying 1.06 so i surgically removed the sticker to find it says 2.00 underneath, any ideas why, should i be suspicous or what??

Good observation Nerual! that's odd. why would they do that? rev 2.0+ boards require a different bios than those less than 2.0, so it would make a big difference. Maybe they thought they were 2.0 but then found out the bios didn't work with it..only the 1.06 one? perplexing indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
