Epox offers KT400, Thoroughbred unlocked - Bios Available to Download!

Mark_Fox · Nov 14, 2002, 08:12 PM

The Inquirer.net has the story that talks about the bios recently announced by EPOX for its KT400 boards 8K9A, "that offers a feature for those wanting to overclocking Athlons without changing the processor itself."

"The BIOS works for all Thoroughbred processors -- including revision B -- that support FSB 333. All processors from 2200+ up to the still unavailable 2800+ are supported."

You can learn more about this bios over @ The Inquirer.net

I have recently received this bios so if you want to give it a try, feel free to download it here.

Note: I'm not sure if this bios has been posted by Epox yet. If you give it a try, let us all know how it works out for you in the forums.

What about KT333?

I think they mean that you don't have to unlock ur XP, the bios makes it unlocked.

Mark_Fox · Nov 14, 2002, 09:33 PM

yeah, that sounds great, all manufacturers should do it for all motherboards, even my old A7A66

Sweet, now I'm really glad I bought the EPOX 8K9A2. I also bought the 2600+ 333FSB, which will be delivered today by FedEX.

So basically this bios only works for unlocked cpus right? How do you know if it's unlocked?

I bought mine here at monarchcomputers...... http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...ct_Code=120720

It doesn't say if it's OEM or RETAIL. Can you tell from the picture if it's unlocked???

Mark_Fox · Nov 14, 2002, 10:18 PM

I think it works on both unlocked and locked ones, well, try it out if you dare, then you'll know for sure
