I tried the A8N-32-SLI in my Lian-Li V1000B case (inverted) and the Northbridge was getting fairly hot. It idled around 48C and load temps after about 20 minutes of gaming were 60C. (I even added a 120mm fan blowing directly over the video cards onto the MB.)
I ended up using a plain old...
Interetsing article on the Inquirer today about NVIDIA paying off people with gifts to "salt" message boards with endorsements of it's products.......Did Ronin ever say how he got 6 7800GTX 512's for free? ;)

Thanks for posting all the pics and info - great news that all the ram is on the front side now!
Odd that your SLI score is not much higher than my Shuttle SN26P running SLI with (2) BFG 7800GTX 256mb? 3DMark05 Compare - 12274
I would have thought it would be closer to 14K based on your...
Wouldn't it be great if Uberhunter shows up with pics of an XBOX360 he also bought from Mwave for $599 along with the 7800GTX 512 while he was there :laugh:
My MSI X800XT PE arrived from ZZF (Ordered Sunday morning) - retail box is HUGE! I'm glad I spent the extra $20 for the MSI, as the software bundle is amazing!
I will be installing and testing it out this evening in my Shuttle SN95G5 V3 / FX-55 / Audigy2 ZS system. (I also ordered a black...
Fortuanately I jumped on the MSI X800XT PE from ZZF before their stock was depleted!
I received Shipping confirmation and will have it on Wednesday ;-)
I saw a post about a similar issue on Planetbattlefield technical forums where FPS would randomly drop to 15fps - the common thread betwwen all the posters was the Audigy 2 soundcard!
I was also getting slowdowns to 15fps on my ATI RS480 based Shuttle PC that I could never solve with either a...

Everything on Medium (except textures = high)

I play online multiplayer on 32-64 person servers and I found these settings allow the game to always run very smooth

Rollo,
It would be helpful to know what version is being tested so that if it leaks out we know which one to try ;-)
I was an early adopter of SLI (December 04) and paid over retail for many of the components. I also specifically purchased a new Dell 2005FPW to use with this setup and an...
I have seen numerous posts regarding this same issue from other users so I don't believe it is a problem with my install.
Here is a post from another user I found that details the problem better:
> I'm having a problem with using SLI at a resolution of 1680x1050
> (Widescreen LCD)...
Tested the latest official 71.84 WHQL driver and it did not fix the "jittery" rolling screen issue when running HL2 and CS:S widescreen resolutions: 1680x1050 DVI or 1280x768 VGA with SLI.
Workaround is to select 1280x1024 or any other 4:3 resolution or run 1680x1050 in a window.
NOTE...
kki000 - You are not alone as I have this same issue.
If I leave the computer on for an extended period time and the monitor goes into standby or powers off. After the monitor "wakes up" whenever I launch any 3D games, like CS:Souce it just hangs. requireing a reboot. Never have any...
I agree with Housecat! I have bought and tried the X800XL and then an X850XT in my SLI rig since I mostly play CS:S. (I had planned on building out a Shuttle with one of the ATI cards just to play CS:S) What I found is that when playing online in 30 player office or 24 player Dust matches the...
I had no problems getting my new Raptor 76gb drive working with Bios version 3002 and the original chipset drivers.
I just purchased the Raptor last week and connected it to the SATA1 (Black connector) and moved my Samsung 160gb drive to SATA2 .
You are fortuanate as I can not get Widescreen resolutions working properly on my setup with HL2 on my Dell 2005FPW!
With 1680x1050 16:10 enabled my screen shakes like the refresh/sync is slightly off. I have not had much luck clarifying this issue with BFG tech support. I just want them to...
Did you by chance - install coolbits?
After installing coolbits, several of my games and 3DMARK were not running in SLI. I also noticed that the application profiles option went missing from the Performance and Quality settings page.
Re-installing the same forceware driver did not fix the...
We have several 2001FP's at work and the newer one's did not have as noticeable of a pixel grid "screen door" effect.
I purchased a 2005FPW for home and it is owns! My only issue is that my new SLI setup won't display correctly at 1600x1050 resolution - so I brought home one of the 2001FP's...
I have successfully tested the following memory with my A8N-SLI:
Corsair XMS 3200C2 2x512 2-3-3-6
Kingston DDR 500 PC4000 2x512 3-4-4-8 and 2.5-3-3-7
PQI Turbo PC3200 2x1024 3-4-4-8 and 2.5-3-3-7
Andrew - do you have any ETA from BFG for their Ultra OC PCI-e cards?
I purchased two 6800GT PCI-E's from your first shipment and definitely want (2) BFG Ultra PCI-e's when they are available!
Keep up the great work - Chumbo definitely deserves recognition and will continue to get my...
Wanted to pass this along since Chumbo is charging near MSRP for these excellent BFG cards!
Chumbo definitely gets my business instead of the other price gouging sites + free fedex shipping!

Make sure you are using the card in the "blue" slot with your DVI cable plugged into the "top" connector as it is the primary video port.

The only problem I am experienceing with my SLI setup is that when I set any Widescreen resolution in HL2/CS:S the screen looses sync , like the refresh rate is wrong.
I have tried 1600x1050 and 1600x900 with all recent drivers 66.93, 67.03, 70.90, 71.20 and 71.24 using a Dell 2005FPW. If I...
I saw the option for SLI Rendering mode under the advanced tab, but did not change it - since I was not having any issues.
What does this setting do - excatly? Did you notice anything different after changing it?

My A8N-SLI setup has been rock solid!
My only issue has been that HL2 does not display correctly with Widescreen resolution 1600x1050 in SLI mode on my Dell 2005FPW (tried 66.93, 67.02, 70.90 and 71.24). As a workaround I can run fine @ 1280x1024 or swap monitors and run at 1600x1200 on...
Another Happy owner here! I had no problems with install and this technology has far exceeded my expectations - enjoying pure gaming bliss with 100% stability!
My only problem has been that I can not get wide screen resolution 1600x1050 working in games which hopefully will be addressed with...
For those trying to adjust the NOISEY chipset fan I had a speed reducer that came with one of my Zalman fans that I used to get it running at 6250 RPM. It is simply a 3 pin extension cable with a resistor in line with the red wire.
Guitar Daddy - you are the A8N-SLI Master! Definitely the most informative posts - thanks for all the outstanding research and information you have passd along.
I have a few Q's for you about overclocking my new setup:
I have a pair of Kingston HyperX PC4000 500mhz Ram - what is the best...
I have found this thread to be extremely informative and inspired me to choose some of the same components for my SLI RIG. (I was fortuanate to purchase 2 BFG 6800GT OC PCI-E's from chumbo @MSRP and then scored an A8N-SLI from Zip Zoom FLY after forum members posted availability of these...
