I have an asus a8n32-sli!

[Otaking71]

pics to come in a few...too bad i don't have a good proc (i have a 3200+ limited to 2.6g on a dfi nf4) we'll see how this handles my stuff. pics in a bit


btw..

i can confirm that the TT BT does fit.

nice

waiting for more pics and benches

[Otaking71]

w00t...it's alive..and so far it's matched the max overclock of the dfi!

thanks for the pics! i guess my 120mm tt heatsink will fit (same one you have) is there any way to get that fan that comes with the board to clip on that heatsink?

you guys are startin to scare me tho, i had a DFI lanparty SLI-DR and it was the most unstable POS ever. now im without a mobo and wanted to get the
a8n32 but is it worth waiting for some rev. 2 that might come soon?

[Otaking71]

hrm...clock gen is borked.

[babyelf]

which khx is that?

[Otaking71]

i don't remember the exact model..but it's good old bh-5 3200 stuff.

[Otaking71]

btw i got this board through a nice hookup =)

hehe...there's the clockgen oddity. this was the max prime stable i could get on the dfi nf4.....i'll have to reboot in a bit to see how much further i can go on this board....so far I'm amazed.

VERY painless overclock.

all i did was set everything to auto..and then set the mhz for the fsb/ram and the voltages...boom.

I wonder if my g5 would fit on that board, what are the dimensions of that heatsink u got on there Otaking71?

[Capt_Caveman]

Very nice, looks like the typhoon fits in with plenty of clearance. God, that's one huge ass hsf.

[Otaking71]

fareast> it's a TT BT.

fareast> it's a TT BT.

Mind doing a quick measure with a ruler or somthing of the part of the sink that has contact with the core? I know it's a TT BT but I don't know the exact measurements of the contact part, I need to see if my g5 universal plate will clear that heatpipe with no problem, right now judging from your pics, it's seems like it would be a problem which would mean this board = no for watercooling rig, not to mention the other stuff that was alrdy mentioned for wc'ing on this board previously.

[Otaking71]

hrm..it appears the cpu has some how kicked the bucket.

apparently it was hard locking on reboots at 2.7ghz..so i went down and dropped the fsb from 300 to 295..and then it never posted again...put the proc on the a8n-e and still no post..hrm. don't have another proc to test.

[Otaking71]

btw...on the a8n-e that this board replaced, i never could get past 233ish mhz ram with 1t....so this definitely doesn't suffer that problem.

[Otaking71]

this cpu could not prime past 2550 or so on the a8n-e...would do about 2600 on the dfi....going to reboot and try to 2.7 now that i've done a 45 minute prime session (i'm convinced there's SOME stability)

[Otaking71]

hrm..i'm posting this at 2.7 ghz...but prime crashes pretty quickly...

[Otaking71]

and it's not the memory (i just loosened it with a64tweaker)

[Otaking71]

odd...the board appears to have died on me...hrm...going to do a part swap to see what's going on.

[nop]

very nice Please keep update how its overclock and its stability. I'm very interested to get this board since my last ASUS-P4B

What happened. Hope everything'll be alright.

[Otaking71]

yea..either the proc or the vid card is dead now...the last two things i changed were the fsb down to 295..and the pci to 105.

[Otaking71]

far east...i have no idea what you want me to measure.


as for what voltages i was using...all the boost voltages in the bios..and a 1.4625 main cpu voltage...3.2 ram voltage...i honestly have no idea what happened....i'll see about testing other stuff tomorrow.

[MaxT]

if the videocard is dead, the board will beep...if the cpu is dead, it won't beep. simple as that of course that's assuming you have some sort of speaker hooked up.

[Otaking71]

yea..it's the proc then..i'll try another one tomorrow...sigh.

how odd that bringing the cpu back down would cause that....

i was using the stock 0502 bios..there's a new bios on their site..i just checked....wonder if that has anything to do with it.
