is the Asus M2n SLI a stable board?

for the time being i am looking to get up and running, and when i get everything then do some overclocking..

so far i am thinking of getting the

m2n-sli ..... a 4200x2

ram i got no clue ..

any help? much appreciated !

I really don't use SLI i am not a gamer.. maybe later on? i can't justify the cost of two video cards lol

how about when u compare the m2n32?

or if the foxccon the one to get at the moment?

I have the M2N32-SLI board. I gotta say it is very feature rich, and very easy to overclock your processor and stuff... I've tried the Foxconn aswell. I think the M2N32-SLI > Foxconn

They were both stable, they both did pretty much the same thing, but the M3N32-SLI was WAY more feature rich I thought.

@lastdon,

I'm actually really surprised with my M2N-SLI and would never think that I could actually say ASUS has a great AMD mobo :D
I have been playing with this mainboard here, in my AM2 testing thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=102595) and you can see that it's a very solid board. Highest HTT I've seen on it so far is 380HTT and it OCs memory like mad.

It has one, quite annoying bug that has not been resolved yet with a BIOS update - after rebooting when machine is OCed, it just dies. You need press RESET to bring it back to life and still, it wakes up at default 200x10. What's up with that, eh? :lol: Also, it has some cold boot problems as well, when after shutdown it won't start up 75% of the time on a first try. Fans will spin and all, but no boot. Powering down and up again. brings it back to life again.

Other than that, I think it's better that Foxconn :fact: If you don't need two x16 PEG slots (no real difference in most cases from two x8 in SLI, unless you run probably 2048x1536 16AA, 16AF...) then you can't beat that for $140 :)

thanks for the replies.

now to find some cheap memory!

Can anyone comment on the temperature that the Chipset gets to.

IMO it runs "STINKY HOT".
