Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard

[Dumo]

Ditto on that. I think it will be difficult to get all the parts to make an SLI rig, so if anything SLI is available, it's bought. So, if the ASUS is available now, we get the ASUS. If the MSI proves better, and is available, then that will be the board to replace the ASUS.

As for the price gouge, the motherboard is peanuts compared to the pad added to the SLI capable video cards. I got my ASUS for $250 shipped, which I think is not too bad. Working on the cards now. That will be the biggest step, $1300 worth of video cards for one PC.

you gotta do it, if that what it takes to make it works (sli). I'll do the same if I have to

i think but i've got problem to pass over 240HTT, i can't use 260x12!

Will it be a problem like that for every A8N-SLI or is it just yours ?

[spinboy]

It seems like the A8N-SLI only hits somewhere around 250 HTT, and that sucks. Will that problem be fixed with another bios version or will we just have to deal with it?

[Onepagebook]

ok Kevin, just tell me where exaclty you live in Columbia and i'll visit you @ 12/31.....with a very big knife in my hand ;D

No problem bro, just tell me when exactly your flight would be, I bring some chicks at airport and wait for you
Get back to topic!

Well heres hoping its alright to post this in this thread

System specs.

Asus A8N - SLI
Amd 3500+ 90nm
2XLeadtek 6800GT Pci-e (not available now!)

Well, I've had this board installed for 24hours now! So how is it you ask?
How go the benchmarks? Overclocking? Enough to say oh dear! Asus seem to have
let an unfinished product out of the door again!Doh!

Set up was a nightmare, I no longer have a RAID array due to it not liking my
USB FDD, and no I didn't back anything up before reinstalling, thank you very
much for asking! Until today I was having to use a 'live' linux CD to use the computer at all!

Changing most of the settings in the bios results in the system hanging on reboot,
with the only option being to reset the RTC, which you can hardly get to due to 2X2 graphichs
cards in the way! I've tried 3 different bioses, including the latest beta, all with the same
result. This happens when you try to disable the PEG link, when you enable fan control(!),
when you set overclocking to *standard*, I could go on - there are some parts that work, but
after pulling the battery out 6 times I'm fed up of exploring!

So, you can boot at default settings so hows you 3dmark score? Urrrr, haven't got one yet!
Hangs part way through the first test on 03, and on the second test 05 (Return does manage about
50fps). I've tried 2 sets of drivers so far 67.20 and 67.22. Same results with both! Tried to
overclock the GPU and mem a little bit.. wouldn't have it, though after a bit of rewiring it
O/Ced to 375/1040 - which is very poor, I'm sure you'll admit!

Well, thats enough of a downer for now! I'm still glad I got into the game early, hehe -the
voyage into the unknown huh?

Anyone got anything to say? I have a 'spare' board arriving 12/20, but unsure whether to waste
my time trying it! RMA? Still, at least I can use my £120 MB, and £600 of graphics cards
to 'surf the net'

Have you thought of trying another bios version? I have no idea if there are any avaliable out there right now. Sucks that the board OC's like that .

I've tried ALL of them. How about this little nugget. There is no PCI-e lock option in the bios. How'dya like them apples?

[fagin]

I can confirm that there is no lock on my board with any of the bioses I have tried.

[Halo_Master]

Is there someone with working pci-locks?

[joezxk]
