Where do you look to find revision???
on the sides of the pci slots
^^
I checked but all it has is numbers on it. No model or revision, and I checked all slots...
what about the UT RDX200? How well does this board work?
I woudlnt get it. Get the a8n32-sli deluxe. i threw out my expert and got one of these and so far i am loving it!
But can´t be overstated enough. Don´t get A8n32 if you plan on SLI. Then you can´t use your X-Fi or any other PCI cards you have :(. The problem with the Expert though is that you can´t fit any other PCI E card if you have SLI either. Unless you somehow can fit that AGEIA physics card in between :p. But I guess you can´t do that with Asus a8n32 either...
DFI SLI-DR in that case have a better layout then both the expert and the a8n32 deluxe... Also the old Asus a8n deluxe is better if you look for expandability.

Also, the Expert! has a MUCH better layout than the SLI-D(R) boards. With the earlier boards, you could only use 1 PCI slot with SLI. With the Expert! you can use 2 PCI cards.
Plus if you use WC they will fit no problem.
I have seen quite a few people getting experts shipped with battery/battery holder problems, bent ics, bent backplate!, etc
if you have a dual core the a8n32-sli deluxe limits the vcore :(
i'm sticking with dfi, i'm just not sure which one :rolleyes:

But the airflow must be crap for that second GTX with a X-Fi that close to it. It´s full size after all.
Well I'm looking to get either the Asus A8N32 or the DFI Expert, to be honest I can't make my mind up, I won't be using SLI but I enjoy overclocking currently have a DFI SLI-D and I have an AMD X2 so will the Asus be good for overclocking or will it have to be the DFI?Quote:

Now there is people having issues as well with the new Asus.... Safe bets is probably still the older Asus/DFI models...
But every mainboard seem to have some major drawback if you run SLI :(
whats the OC ability like on the Asus A8N32 if you have a single core, for instance a single core opteron?
Also what is the probable max HTT on the Asus 32 if running a Single core opteron?
thanks
agree. i cant get more that 270x10 1t on expert with tccd 2x512. for tccd overclocking i dont sugest expert board. dont know about b/ch5/6/utt.Quote:

Go with the a8n32 trust me I was down the same path and felt like a retard for getting the expert. First of all I always felt a little nervous whern hitting the power button hoping my cpu wouldnt fry lol. Also they shipped the board with a broken battery holder, cmos would reset each time I powered down pc and turned off atx power button. Some guy got his board and the back plate was bent. I am not happy with the way they ship the boards and the whole random cpu vcore boost.Quote:

Mike(mdzcpa) said the ea8n32 is okay for oc and expert will be much better but after testing the board i doubt it. once i get my vapo mike im going to have to give your highest oc a run :D this board can deff. push my fx57 to its limit.
you can run sli no problem will be a little tight though. if you have WC its great
only guys like opp/pedro/OPB need the expert for all of the crazy adjustments cause they shoot for over 3.7ghz ocs. few people here are going for those speeds and its only for benchmarks. but when you run 24/7 no one can sustain those speeds and thats exactly why the asus is better, it is much more stable and when we are looking at 24/7 overclock it will do just as good as dfi but with more stability
Ummm....these are my 24/7 settings ;) :Quote:

I've got $20 that says you won't even be able to boot at those settings on the Asus board :D
Very nice... What mem are you using.

Cheers.
Yes me too. I have gotten dribbled here and there. Expert in dangerous I has to wait. No it´s maybe okay only 1 in a thousand that has issues, normal for a launch.
No wait there is more people getting issues all the time. But I must have the Expert for it´s design. Hard time get my PSU to fit over the evaporator tube...
But no damn the Expert there is just to much issues... But I still must have that PCI slots available at least two and DFI is said to be more overclockable...
But damn I do think it´s either DFI older version or Asus A8n32 deluxe now but then I need to decide about power supply. Had pretty much decided on a 510 ASL because it was the most compact of the high end PSUs but that won´t matter if I don´t get that perfect layout of the Expert I am screwed anyway...
So now wondering if I should sell my Vappo and go air/water cooling instead. Just because of dumb mainboard layout and to cramped case design by Asetek... If they just had added more width to the case. I mean they already have the front that is wider than the rest of the case for no reason than for looks I guess. Could as well make the case that wide to begin with...
