Asus or Abit A8N32-SLI Who's better?

Nice, that's looking pretty good to me. I'm guessing this was achieved on the Thermalright XP90 W/92mm? What kind of temps are you holding at those speeds? Any issues with the board at all, BIOS? I would miss the Award Bios and Abit has some of the best tweaking and monitoring tools around, their layout just suxs.

Well yes its with XP90 and 92mm crap fan.Temps reach max 48C cos i have kept AC on.Without AC it reaches 57C,i know its pretty hot but then climate here is warm and summers are just starting.
With summer in full form,overall temps here soar to 45-48C,imagine what would happen then.

Anyways i will be replacing the XP90 with a TT-BT tonight.

Till now i havent figured out any problem with this board.Faced minor BIOS related issues but they were solved with BIOS update.

The most irritating part about this board is the placement of the CMOS jumper,it couldnt have been worse than this.
Asus shud be for this.

Overall the layout is so nice,why screw up such a small thing ?

Also i personally feel the Asus board is slightly better than the Abit board,i know looks dont matter much but then i cant help it

Honestly..same. I'm not looking for superOC Mobo or I would get DFI. I need a future proof rig (32x) with good OC capability and above all reliable and stable with mild 24/7 OCs. I have a window case, I will admit, one of my fav things is when someone looks at my rig and says WOW. When I look at the Asus I almost say WOW from the board alone. Abit is ehh. Abit added some LEDs to the back of the board. Wohoo. The most eye-catching feature on the Asus is the Copper heatpipe of course. Not only looks good but also it's functional and better than aluminum. I don't think the LED will help with anything only create heat and possible problems. I'm almost 100% going with Asus at this point.
