Review @ TweakTownWhile EPoX has been out of our labs for a bit, its clear that they haven’t moved much beyond the boards they have been producing in the past. While good, they aren’t what we would call super enthusiast.
First off the layout was not what we hoped for with cable connectors being placed in ridiculous places on the board, requiring extensive routing of bulky cables past heat critical components like the CPU. The use of the older SATA data ports also put a sour taste in our mouth. While they work, they do cause more problems than the latest version ports.
That said the performance was good, in fact it managed to just keep ahead of the MSI board when running stock speeds using our Radeon X1950 Pro, however, looking at some of the retail prices of the board, its more expensive than the MSI board and doesn’t come with the Firewire features that the MSI board comes with.
