Yeah... I only have one 6800 Ultra PCI-E that I bought sometime ago for about 550. Now all the preorders are near 700....

guys im telling you the msi one is sooooo much better
im using a sample board at work and its kicking ass, with corsair pc440 we are hitting 280 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2.85V
the msi one is also very unavailable.
dude... I'm sure the people who get the Asus SLI now (considering it's priced gouged up the wazoo) will be able to get the MSI later on. Everyone just wants a piece of the action that's all....
pinto can you please confirm me if all SATA ports are locked in this ASUS ???
Thanks,
i think but i've got problem to pass over 240HTT, i can't use 260x12!

Try 3x on 260 and it will works :DQuote:

Ditto on that. I think it will be difficult to get all the parts to make an SLI rig, so if anything SLI is available, it's bought. If the ASUS is available now, we get the ASUS. Then, if the MSI proves better, and is available, then that will be the board to replace the ASUS.Quote:

you gotta do it, if that what it takes to make it works (sli). I'll do the same if I have to :toast:Quote:

Try this <click me.
Works fine now. Thanks. :)
It seems like the A8N-SLI only hits somewhere around 250 HTT, and that sucks. Will that problem be fixed with another bios version or will we just have to deal with it?

Get back to topic! :stick:
Well heres hoping its alright to post this in this thread :D
System specs.
Asus A8N - SLI
Amd 3500+ 90nm
2XLeadtek 6800GT Pci-e (not available now!)
Well, I've had this board installed for 24hours now! So how is it you ask?
How go the benchmarks? Overclocking? Enough to say oh dear! Asus seem to have
let an unfinished product out of the door again!Doh! :brick:
Set up was a nightmare, I no longer have a RAID array due to it not liking my
USB FDD, and no I didn't back anything up before reinstalling, thank you very
much for asking! Until today I was having to use a 'live' linux CD to use the computer at all!
Changing most of the settings in the bios results in the system hanging on reboot,
with the only option being to reset the RTC, which you can hardly get to due to 2X2 graphichs
cards in the way! I've tried 3 different bioses, including the latest beta, all with the same
result. This happens when you try to disable the PEG link, when you enable fan control(!),
when you set overclocking to *standard*, I could go on - there are some parts that work, but
after pulling the battery out 6 times I'm fed up of exploring!
So, you can boot at default settings so hows you 3dmark score? Urrrr, haven't got one yet!
Hangs part way through the first test on 03, and on the second test 05 (Return does manage about
50fps). I've tried 2 sets of drivers so far 67.20 and 67.22. Same results with both! Tried to
overclock the GPU and mem a little bit.. wouldn't have it, though after a bit of rewiring it
O/Ced to 375/1040 - which is very poor, I'm sure you'll admit!
Well, thats enough of a downer for now! I'm still glad I got into the game early, hehe -the
voyage into the unknown huh? :rotf:
Anyone got anything to say? I have a 'spare' board arriving 12/20, but unsure whether to waste
my time trying it! RMA? :lol: Still, at least I can use my £120 MB, and £600 of graphics cards
to 'surf the net' :brick:
