wow so lucky
the asus a8r32 is good but I feel like the vcore moves around too much... Last time I ditch DFI just to get the latest thing that comes in.

Asus is plagued with this instable voltage problem for ages now...

Well, I was hoping to report back tonight w/ some kind of good news but i can't. In taking apart my PC to remove the old epox sli motherboard, my fingers "very lightly" brushed against one of the copasitors on my eVGA 7800GT wile taking it out and the damn thing fell off. So tomorrow I am going to buy a soldering gun and some wire and place it back in position. Will solder all the other ones on the video card just for safety.

Anyways my specs as of tomorrow are:
AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+
4GB PQI PC3200 Memory (Have 4GB of Mushkin PC4000 on order)
DFI CFX3200-DR
2 eVGA 7800GTs (both gonna be used in single mode for use of 4 monitors)

Yep, a bit of news. Its going back for a refund!

First off the board hangs during post when I have 4GB of memory in it. Even if I hit the DEL key to get into the BIOS the system hangs and displays wierd characters all over the screen. Yet if I take 2 GB out of the system it works fine. Yes I updated the bios too and tried. It just hangs during post. Second, the biggest problem I have with this board is the false advertising. The manual states that BOTH PCIE slots run at 16x in SINGLE MODE. To me that means I should be able to run both my eVGA 7800GT video cards at the same time giving me 4 monitor output. No go. I have all the drivers installed and there are no conflicts in system properties with the second video card, yet display manager only shows the first video card. I can't get the second video card to light up during a cold boot if I take both my monitors and plug one into each. I even switched the video cards around in the PC and I get the same result.

So i'm right now righting up the RMA. I gave up a SLi board for this. Should have kept my damn money. Now i have to pay a restocking fee and pick a new motherboard as I got rid of the old one.

Well, looks like I'll just stick with my A8r32. They're pretty even.

Have Asus managed yet to fix those voltage fluctuations on A8R32-MVP? It was an initial problem and 2-3 BIOS later it was still horrible as I have read around the net...
