I have an asus a8n32-sli!

What is the maximum vcore you can set on this board?

Are you playing battlefield with SLI-AA enabled?

I don't have a SLI rig yet, though I'd try SLI-AA if I did.

From my recollection, the Vcore has a 0-200 millivolt "boost" overvolt, AND a normal range adjustment of up to 1.55 or so, so that'd mean the maximum
allowed was around 1.75. I've seen that posted somewhere.

I've got no intention of letting anything more than 1.40 near my X2,
but next time I reboot I'll look at the BIOS menu to confirm the options
are indeed present as advertised.

Keep in mind that the 8-phase CPU power supply circuit should do a better
job at supplying more stable, solid, clean, dynamic power to the CPU
even under extreme loading conditions, so there's probably less benefit
and need to overvolting the CPU just to maintain the desired Vcore
stability and current capacity.

ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Revision 2???

Found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Asus-A8N32-SLI-D...QQcmdZViewItem

Quote from auction:
"READ THIS BELOW CAREFULLY!!!!

This is a pre-order. Read the information below to find out why these boards are not available in any kind of quantity yet!

This board has been delayed by asus for an "slight issue" that they have now fixed. As you can see by the picture and caption below, there is a REVISION 2.0 now. You say to yourself, "I can't even find revision 1.0, now there is a revision 2.0?!?!?!" This is because there was a "slight problem" with the boards that asus and most of the other people who have this already have not mentioned publically. Review sites and the few select others got the early production run before problems were noticed and asus had to fix it. If you think about it, why are there no real reviews or talk from anyone important about this board? Everyone has been real quiet about this item for a reason. With a delay of over a month and possibly another 2 weeks that tells you something. Wouldn't asus be promoting the heck out of this thing as the fastest, best, "got the most awards", "best reviews", "highest rated on blahblahblahs website" motherboard available??? Why are they not promoting it? Because it was delayed and unavailable in quantity to the public. Be sure that when the board is available it will be running smoothly for everyone who buys it. We would like to applaud asus for making sure the board works good before it hits the mainstream public but the way they are going about it makes the distributors, resellers and consumers very upset. Ignoring the consumer is never a good thing and asus is doing just that.

As you can see by the others selling this they are taking advantage of eager consumers and charging a "slightly" higher rate. We are offering it at a reasonable price and 2nd day air shipping when they arrive in stock. We have an allocation of 50 of these from our vendor and were the 2nd reseller to have an order in for these (had the order in since October 7th). We are guaranteed to get the very first amounts of these from the largest asus distributor in the U.S. The estimated time of arrival is thanksgiving week. No concrete date has been set but the 23rd or 25th is potentially a date we are looking at from our sources."

Woh! Nice find Capt_Caveman
Sounds like it could be true.

[Otaking71]

hrm....maybe i ran into the problem? =P

[shiznit93]

hopefully rev 2.0 wont be killing cpu's anymore.

[Tulatin]

absolutely retarded PCI/PCI-E Layout for those of us who still use the cards. Other than that, the one silver ASUS sink really throws the theme, what with all the copper.

[phadeout]

I would be learly of that Auction. I know that it was already said the slow arrival of the board is because they were "being updated". So it's possible any new board is a rev2. I have a board coming on Nov15/16th, so we will see I guess.

Also, that guy is taking pre-orders for 30...

I know for a fact, that there are 20 pre-orders [money down] from where I'm getting mine, and they are only getting 2, that's TWO, coming in. From the sounds of it, there may only be 20 in total coming to Canada for Nov15/16th, and not much more for the US.

[ben805]

Rev 2.0 eh? this Asus board appear to be more solid than the DFI and I very impressed by their 8 phase power feature, it doesn't require the Intel 8pin power adapter like the Expert does...which my PCP&C 510SLI doesn't has so that's a big plus. As for vdimm...for 24/7 usage I would never pump more than 2.9v onto the ballistix so the max of 3.2v is more than enough, the rest of the review at anandtech looks fantastic so I'm going to skip the buggy Expert and jump on this Asus as soon as it's available

[lowdog]

I have this board and it's a rev 1.01

I bought it here in AUS 5 days ago and it's been running rock solid with an X2 4800 since first boot up.

Wonder what the alleged problems with the rev 1 boards are supposed to be.

This rev 1 being recalled may in fact be nothing more than BS.



EDIT: the pic showing the rev 2 board shows a sticker on the lower side of the pci slot saying rev 2. If it truly is a rev 2 board why arn't they showing it printed on the pcb?

i've got 1.01 but noticed i cant even run more then 1.58volts !@#!#. So i kicked it out and put a dfi expert in today :P

[situman]

u do realized there's a setting for a 200mv overboost or something which will kick ur vcore up to 1.775 or so.

[ElDuderino]

Can anyone test this board in Fear using SLI-AA 8x or 16x please?

[Shootingblanks]

wonder what revision newegg is selling. got an email saying was in stock and in 15 minutes board was sold out of stock. so now i have to wait to get my hands on one. better be revision 2 when i get my hands on one.

[lowdog]

I'd say there all still rev 1.01 and don't have any problems.

The rev 2 thing is just all scare mongering. The only ref to rev 2 was in one article where they were testing the Asus dual 7800GT's in sli on what was said to be a rev 2 A8N32. They showed no evidence of this other than a sticker saying rev 2 on the bottom of the pci slot, no picture of the pcb though!!!

There has also be no mention of the SUPPOSED bugs with rev 1. So looks like BS to me.

[ben805]

same here....got an auto-notify email from newegg at around 7pm but when I went to check on it 20min later they were all gone, WTF???

[Blue078]

Same thing for me, by the time I clicked the link in the email POOF! they were gone

[lowdog]

People are getting boards as recently as today from new shipments and they are all rev 1.01

I call total BS on the 1.01 is faulty and recalled and only rev 2 is shipping because it is the fixed board.....total BS, just one of those waves of conjecture/speculation/panic that sweeps the net when people realy haven't a clue what their on about.

[phadeout]

In that review with the 7800GT Dual's, it could have just been a "hand modded" board to make the quad gpu's work... It just looks like a sticker on the PCIE, not an official marking of any kind (looks like the stickers that a little machine we have at work makes, a little tag maker)....

[fareastgq]

maybe 1.0 is the first one, 1.01 is the 2?

[Blue078]

I think 1.01 is the way Asus allways marks the first round of boards. It was that way on all my old Intel based boards from Asus anyways

So I guess the rev2 was just a ploy for an ebayseller to get some sales.

[SamHughe]

Dudes! it's really not wise to be fooled by the hype and shell out $250 for an unstable board. I paid $179 for an A8N-SLI Premium less than 2 monts ago and now the same card sold for only $163. I see none of you guys in need of an emergency upgrade as all of your sytems seems up to date. Having this board by itself won't get you in to 3DMark05 hall of fame so what's the hurry? Just wait until the board become widely available. I'm sure most of the problems will be fixed then, so you don't have to learn about them the hard way! And thats just my
