I have ordered the Mesh machine. It is hard to say which board it is, as it is customised for them. I am going for the non SlI version. I suspect that the whine of the chipset fan is going to drive me mad. I wonder about trying to get a quiet version. Does anyone think this is a runner?
I was in Mesh this am. It seems that Asus provides an OEM board. They ran out and so provided the SLI board but with only one raid controller. Firewire is not on the board, but since Mesh have said it is on the web site they are putting in a firewire pci card. I hope it won't be too noisy...........
Thanks for that - I do like the way Zalman put a movie on the website for installation! I thought that the Northbridge was something different from the chipset. Is that wrong? Can anyone give me an idea of how much noise comes from the chipset fan? I have seen reviews of the board but none have...
Good thought! I will post to that forum and see! I have an interest in this as I think I will be getting the board and I want to add the zalman. do you have any details fo the cooler as I have not been able to find it immediately in the UK?
I have just read a post on quietpc.co.uk that someone tried to put a Zalman passive cooler on the chipset and the board refused to boot. any ideas on this?
I am really puzzled! Are there two boards- A8N-e and A8N-E premium? If there are what is the difference? And do either of them have a passively cooled chipset? Has anyone got one with the fan and is it really noisy?
