Two excellent boards and stable. You won't be gambling with an unfinished BIOS.
The main difference is Giga has only two PCI slots: one for the WiFi, one for decent sound and you have none left. Actually with SLI one PCI could be too close to the GC fan. One PCI really accessible that's not...
And as I already said, few want to take this ASUS board as the reference for what SLI needs or not and from that blame the PSU. MSI SLI board specification is 18A minimum for 12v rail. Not 24.
When one of those suspected PSU will prove to fail too on Gigabyte, MSI and DFI, it will be time to...
You don't get my point. I'm not questioning the fact this PSU doesn't fit with ASUS SLI and it is dual rail related, I am wondering which part isn't where it should be. One says those dual rail PSU are not fit for SLI and shouldn't advertise "SLI ready", I answer wait until you get the same...
There may be issues between some of these PSU and THIS motherboard. But before only blaming two rails PSU in general as inapropriate for SLI I'd wait how other SLI motherboards behave.
In this case, apart from the bugged and noisy ASUS SLI, the MSI Ultra should give you the slots you need. I imagine you'll find soon TVtuner cards for PCIE_1x
It's in shops in Europe here and there for few days now, so I guess it's a matter of less than a week before you find it anywhere.
I'm used to the biased vision forums give when those complaining or having problems post first. However for the ASUS it goes way beyond the borderline of what...
In the meantime I read about fixing a similar problem with this mb in an other forum and went back here convinced you hadn't disable totally the RAID. Glad to see you fixed it .
As for the the hard reboot needed hmmm...have you tried to maintain pushed the reset button a couple of seconds...
Good question. I read about the same opinion. I imagine people want something they are sold to work, no matter it's useful or not... it's a matter to see how manufacturers are reliable or not.
Considering the number of very serious issues reported repeatedly about the ASUS-A8N-SLI (I know there are some happy users too, but I don't want to gamble) it's eliminated from my list.
I think ASUS was too eager to be the first and released an unfinished product. They may pay for it in...
