Its possible but frankly I'm not concerned. My stability is 100% so that's all that really matters right. To answer the question this is a generic case I first got when I had my K62-450 system. I've had this case like 3 years maybe. Cooling is a rather none issue. I've got several properly positioned case fans and blowholes. Might my system temps be lower in an aluminum case? Perhaps but I'm not worried at all.
To give some perspective at default speeds of 1.4Ghz I believe the cpu idles around 95ºF. You've got to figure an extra quarter volt and 550Mhz are going to cost me 25ºF

just an idea :) but like you said, as long as it's 100% stable, it really doesn't matter ;)

Small update:

I just got off the phone with Epox, and they are testing a few things, then they will call me back. If they don't figure it out with the current BIOS, the will see about setting me up with a Beta BIOS. AGP Voltage adjust here I come :cool:

Yeah I'm sure an upcoming will fix that for you. I'm not sure how other mobo vendors are these days but since March 28th Epox has only released 2 updates for my mobo. Admittedly there have been seven beta-BIOS' but I'm very hesistant to go there. I guess what I'm saying is that while their ultimate results are very good they certainly don't have an nVidia like release cycle

Point taken and it's quite true. The only board they have produced that had BIOS updates almost weekly was the 8KHA+. If I wasn't happy with the current BIOS I had, I just waited a few days and voila`. I was a bit disappointed when they didn't do the same for the 8K3A+, and I think they will follow that trend with the 8K5A boards.

I am waiting on that, as soon as I get word I will go for more 3D markage ;)

I hear ya...that was my only complaint on the 8K3A+ was no AGPV Adjust....and I know you heard that from me more than once he he. I'd have asked you on AIM, but you're not on ;)

I was just on... but after about five IM windows I couldn't keep up ;p

You are never on at the off time of day. ;)

This will be my last update for awhile;

Epox didn't pull through, and did not pull through so greatly that they even took the vagp adjust feature of their site. It looks like my 3d Mark and vcard overclock will stay the same.
