A8N-SLI Deluxe Hard Drive problem

Thanks for the reply. I did reformat the drive and reload Windows, and got through that OK, so I thought I just had a file problem. Because of the trouble, after the reinstall I reset the BIOS to defaults to make sure it would run OK for a while before trying to overclock again. It ran OK...

A8N-SLI Deluxe Hard Drive problem

My SATA hard drive has started acting up, sometimes it recovers and sometimes it just gets stuck. When accessing the drive, it occasionally seems to get stuck and the drive will sit and spin. Windows XP eventually locks up, and locks up right away if I try to launch any other apps. I first...

Antec True PSU work on 24pin MB?

I am using the TrueBlue 480 with an A8N-SLI without any problems. I am not running 2 video cards, though, nor a lot of devices (1 HD, 1 CD, 1 DVD). I am not using any adapter, just plug the 20-pin into the first section of the jack and leave the remaining 4 pins unused.

A8N-SLI Deluxe 1008 BIOS final available

So far, this has BIOS seems to have fixed the S3 suspend problems I have been plagued with ever since I got my A8N-SLI Deluxe! I am pretty happy about this, it was the only real problem I had with this MB at this point :) EDIT: Nevery mind :( still not resuming from S3 suspend properly all...

Has Anyone Here Built Their Own Motherboard?

Are you an experienced systems and circuit design EE? I think the point here is that it really IS unrealistic unless you are willing to throw very large amounts of cash and time at such a project. Essentially, you would need to be willing to put in the time and effort to learn the job of...

A8N-SLI + cnps7700cu + fanmate?

I dumped the fanmate and plugged right into the board, and use Speedfan to vary the speed depending on temperature. Works great!

Asus A8N Sli-Deluxe

I flashed to this one yesterday, my OC still works fine, no problems whatsoever. I did bump my Vcore up a couple notches up over 1.55 to see if it would help my S3 standby problem (not sure if that got fixed yet though), and it's running at 1.584 V now.

My First AMD System

I am not sure there would be any reason to go with the nForce Pro motherboard over an nForce4 MB, unless you need to crank on the CPU while multitasking. Or, if you had need of a lot of RAM. The Opteron/nForce Pro combo is costing you a lot of extra money for no other practical reasons than...

Tyan K8WE and suspend-to-ram (S3), any luck?

This won't be any help, but I have the exact same problem sometimes (not all the time) with my A8N-SLI Deluxe. I am overclocking it pretty hard, though, so I always attributed this problem to that. Would love to hear about some solution or know for sure that it's due to overclocking...

A8N-SLI Deluxe BIOS 1007-002

You guys are talking about a 1:1 divider at 1T for your RAM at frequencies over 240 MHz, right? 1T settings work fine for me as long as I use a divider.

Has anyone gotten Speedfan to work with an ASUS A8N-SLI?

Speedfan works fine for me for controlling the CHA1 and CPU fans. It won't control the chipset or CHA2 fans, but I replaced the chipset fan with a passive heatsink so that one's not a problem.

That's a bit of an apples to oranges review, making a professional-level system come down to the level of the gamer/enthusiast systems. Regardless, it looks like the Tyan setup did pretty well in the areas where it is supposed to, like memory bandwidth and multi-thread performance. I'm not...

A8N SLI - nv4_disp infinite loop blue screen = hard drive corruption

No current bios allows for more than 1.55vcore on A8N SLI or MSI!

What I was looking for in here was some solid evidence that the Vcore limit was holding back someone's overclock. I haven't seen anything yet from anyone who has been singing the chorus to housecat's rant. No one has really countered his rant with solid evidence that the Vcore limit *is not* a...

SLI support for CAD

Yes, I had heard that the Quadros were getting support, but my understanding is the drivers will have to specifically support the software you are using to see any/much advantage in SLI mode. Any nVidia insiders have input on that subject?

Ballistix and A8N-SLI Deluxe

I have 2X 512MB PC3200 Ballistix in my A8N-SLI machine, running using the DDR333 divider at 2.5-3-3-8. System is at 285 MHz, CPUZ reports the RAM running at 233 MHz. I had to bump my Vdimm up pretty high to get the 333 divider to work well for me, I am running with my RAM at 2.95V right now...

Athlon 64

It's really not much of an advantage anyway. The 32-bit version of Windows limits any single process to using 1.6 GB of your RAM. You can set a switch that will let you use up to 3 GB but I have found it to be very iffy, the programs that grab that much membory tend to lock up on me at some...

Is there is a case for me ... ?

The Coolermaster CM Stacker has what you are looking for. It's pretty big, though, full tower. It's a lot cheaper than those Lian Li cases but a little more than the Antec P160.
