Others seem to be under the impression that Epox is pretty much a dead issue as of lately. At least according to Wikipedia;
The German and Dutch subsidiaries of EPoX closed on 26.06.2007 after a financial scandal and poor management decisions put the company in great financial trouble.

Anyone else have any input?
 
According to their USA site their latest Intel chipset board is a 965P, Stick a fork in them, they are done unless something dramatic happens fast.

(and yes I know this is the AMD board sub-forum, lets not get into that. )
 
Well basically I am shopping for another motherboard, I have not had a bios update since 2006 and all attempts to contact support fails
 
That sucks... I always considered them when making a board purchase. Built my first PC with an epox board :(

I have loved all three of the EPoX MBs I've owned over the past 5 years and I am so bummed that they haven't updated their website since June. I hope SUPoX can live up to EPoX's reputation.

As far as their tech support goes... I have dealt with their tech support as recent as October 2007 when they offered to RMA my board when I was having problems with my memory. The memory manufacturer tried for two weeks to convince me the problem was with the MB. It wasn't the MB afterall, it was the memory like I originally thought and I have had no problems since the memory was RMA'd. I had quite a few email exchanges with them during that ordeal and they were very helpful. If you need help from them, go to http://www.epox.com/USA/index.asp and go down the page a little to the "news, updates, reviews" section. There are email addresses to contact them at. That's how I reached them. Don't bother starting a support ticket, it's a waste of time.

Lol, I just re-read your sig. Appears we have the same taste in brands :) Caught my eye because they aren't the most common.
 
There are some decent deals at epoxstore, but with the layoff of the EPoX developers, what chance is there for phenom support?
 
I didn't want to start a new thread, but how about Soyo??
I happen to visit their site and the MB's listed are all disco'd
 
Soyo has been dead for quite some time (as far as mainboards). Epox folded a bit later. Chaintech also gone, Soltek gone as well. Shuttle out of the regular mainboard but but still makes lot of SFF boxes (that's their market).
 
Dropping like flies..................
Funny, why is the Soyo site full of old support?
 
Yeah, they still keep up the old mainboard drivers sections @ Soyo. Their last boards were AMD A64 NF3-150 and Intel P4 (older netburst). Interestingly Soyo held off from making Nforce based boards until that NF3-150 board. They used VIA exclusively (on the AMD side) until the very end. It was actually quite short sighted of them to do that in retrospect.
