RIP EPoX

GMtm · 05-25-2007, 11:58 AM

Back in the days of nForce 2 and 3, EPoX made some fantastic quality motherboards. Now it looks like second tier motherboard manufactuer EPoX has kicked the bucket - rumour has it staff haven't been paid for as long as two months. The company seems reluctant to acknowledge its insolvency. Employees have left in floods. The news isn't all bad though; rumour has it that they've set up a new company to rise from the ashes of the late manufacturer with the name SuPoX, and that they are to take on EPoX's former product lines.

I used to own a really good EPoX motherboard that lasted years, so its with misty eyes I write this! Poor EPoX!

I had a epox Nforce 2 motherboard, thing lasted like 4 months, and it took my nvidia geforce 4 ti 4200 with it.

Yeah I've heard that they were really poor quality motherboards, bad QC or something I guess.

LOL! I have a GeForce Ti 4200 laying around here somewhere! Can't remember the amount of memory though. I had to rig a heatsink and fan to it so my wife could use it for a while. The stock fan died and I wasn't sure where to find one that would work on the stock heatsink. I do believe it still works though.

EPoX sounds like some killer bakteria that the US created to unleash on their own
people so they can blame Sweden for trying to sneak attack them and that's why
USA has to invade Mexico because someone somewhere in tequilaville made once
a call to Austria

You've just figured out the plot for the next 24 season, Kami.
