Asus A8N32-SLI initial impression....WOW!

[Zeus...]

Ohh I see, thank you for the explaination. So do you think those temps are kind of high for an Opty 175 clocked @ 2.5 GHz with 1.375 vCore?

Well thats only my opinion -

but u have a better HSF than the STD one and with only 1.375 Volts it should be fine - running mine at 1.5Vore and b4 I got the water cooling it was at 50-55C under load so your should be fine - infact its only warm

Ohh my GOD.....

Today we can't buy a mobo that doesn't kill cpu's????

I sent the following to the ASUS Engineering team. Lets see what kind of response we get back. I have there email address if anyone wants to PM me. (only for serious issues and broken features, they don't want run of the mill "where does the floppy drive plug into" type stuff)

*****I have the AN832-SLI version 901 bios. What has changed or been fixed in this version bios? Is this still beta?

Has the voltage reporting been fixed? No matter what you set the voltage to over 1.4 volts it doesn't go up. ~1.4v is basically the max unless you use the overvoltage feature (+0.200 mv) then it does work. You can verify this with a multimeter on the board itself.

Thank you very much. The community loves this board!!! Check this website out... (it also list some of the issues guys are having with it if your interested.)

I'm on a mach II phase change.. Kinda don't want to mess things up until I know what's different.

hmmm your superpi 32M seems quite slow for those speeds doesn't it?

Oh I wasn't trying to get a good score here.
I was just checking stability.
So I had all sorts of background programs runing like Avast anti-virus ...
I turned on the screen saver and then I entered the Internet to write some posts...
Though it shouldn't make a big difference on a dual core CPU...

I am getting 31.781 secs at 2700MHz with htt 270 and mem at 180Mhz (133MHz limit in bios) so whats your limit at 'Marios'?

Yours isn't 1Mb? Mine is 32Mb.

Sorry Typo error it should off read whats your 'Mem' Limit in the BIOS
