SUPoX Outs N2940-MX7 Motherboard

[btarunr]

SUPoX (formerly known as EPoX) is still alive and kicking in the Chinese domestic market. The company came up with an unusual new silent motherboard based on the Intel Celeron N2940 "Bay Trail" SoC, the N2940-MX7. Built in the small Micro-ATX form-factor, this board integrates the Celeron N2940 single-chip solution from Intel, featuring 4 CPU cores running at up to 2.24 GHz, and cools the 7.5W TDP chip with a passive heatsink.

The N2940 chip is wired to two full-size DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting up to 8 GB of dual-channel DDR3L-1333 memory. Expansion includes two PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and one PCI-Express 2.0 x16. Storage connectivity includes two SATA 3 Gb/s ports. Display connectivity includes one each of DVI and D-Sub. Other connectivity includes one USB 3.0 port, six USB 2.0 ports (two on the rear panel, four by headers), six channel HD audio with ground-layer isolation, gigabit Ethernet, and legacy PS/2 connectors. You get LPT (parallel) and COM (serial) ports by headers.

looks nice especially when you have dark ram, btw SUPoX should have another higher board since they leave some components empty

I remember EPOX - I even had a MB from them, back in 2003.....great to hear that they are alive.
Makes me wonder - does anyone now what happend to Abit ? - the made great board too, in the early 2000's

Nope, that's top of the range on their site They have a few other boards listed also.
As for Abit, I think they were taken over by another company, but i'm not sure on that, i'd have to look in to it.

They saved at least one layer of PCB because of such design.

But yea I also got a Epox 8RDA+, wasn't too bad really.

The Epox mobos that I used were all good performers.

EPoX had some of the best value boards ever. Every board had full OC ability. Nice to see some news on them.

Had an Abit Athlon 64 machine that was great, the company ran into financial trouble in 2005 and closed the brand completely march of 2009 (Though the cut off date was supposed to be December 31 2008).

Very decent looking motherboard and design, would be nice for an HTPC, file server, or the likes with those specs.

Had an Abit KT7A about 10 years ago, one of the best SDRAM motherboards (if not the best) for Socket A.. Athlon 1GHz overclocked nicely with it.

Oh man, such nice memories.. Epox mobos! They used to be the underdog..but not when it comes to overclocking!
Hard volt. mods, pll mod's. I miss those years...
