Today for review we have pcToys Neon Maxx black light accent paint- color red. Sounds like some cool stuff. Today’s victims will be my faithful Vantec Stealth fan and my precious LAN card.

The problems I had with AGP benchmarks locking up at 200MHz FSB turned out to be a Northbridge heat problem. The water cooling on the stripped down 8RDA version really helped out, but I still had problems with conventional cooling on the 8RDA+. In the end, I abandoned the factory Northbridge cooler all together and went with an aftermarket NB cooler from PCToys called the NB MAXX. The PCToys NB MAXX saved the day and turned the unfriendly EPoX 8RDA+ into an Overclocker's best friend. However, the 8RDA series still has issues right out of the box, therefore I still stand by my rating of a "7".

We don't generally announce reader-submitted articles, but this one goes into some detail about how various factors affect the onboard GF4MX-based video of this motherboard. FSB speed, system memory speed and framebuffer size are tested, among other things.
