because of the chipset, but it was a great board. I still have mine. If I run across a good deal on a chip for it, I may even replace the blown caps. K7S5A was the exception? In the K7S5A days, the motherboard forum had too many "K7S5A problem" threads ...

while reviewing video cards so i wanted to ask here. - Thanks for any suggestions Archived from groups: alt.games.delta-force () I use a cheap FX5200, 128mb, with a amd athlon 2400xp, ( 266mhz fsb ) 512 mb pc2100, on a ecs K7S5A, no problems, have...

Edited by apoc286 on 12/28/01 08:15 PM. Yes, I also do not recommend the ECS K7S5A. My new TBird 1333 on it seems to be pretty unstable compared to my Duron 700 on KT133. With the K7S5A, it has problems with the "sleep" function, crashes/freezes more often,...

K7S5A - the first one (ver 1.1) being very very stable the new Relese being version 1.3 on the PCB is very very unstable. this is no joke. I have built many computers containing the K7S5A (ver 1) and there are all stable and run with no problems. all of...

a flash BIOS update? skimzzz, try the burner in another comp. i had the same problem with my first k7s5a. thought it was my burner and sent it back to yamaha. turned out everything was a-ok with the burner. then i read that faq's about the k7s5a and that's...

when attempting to use CPUs over 1.4GHZ on these boards, seems there was some problem with the regulators. I still would recommend an ECS board, but it has to be KT266A or above, not a K7S5A, the suspect of this problem. -- The worst of enemies shall be...
