I just thought I would post a pic of my setup that has worked out great for me. I went ahead and got the Zalman NB-47J. And then to help cool the NB-47J, I installed the Zalman FB123 fan bracket assembly. Below is a pic of the setup, I think it looks very clean, it makes no noise, and has...

I just wanted to report that the issue with Maxtor drives and NCQ has been solved with the latest Nvidia ForceWare drivers 6.39. I just installed the drivers and they enabled NCQ on my DiamondMax 10 drive by default, and I have not had any problems at all (last time I tried enabling NCQ I...

So is your Maxtor DiamondMax 10 drive your primary drive where your OS is installed? Because I have almost the exact same setup, and I just want to make sure that NCQ on by default won't screw up my system.

Well I am a little hesitant to install these if they enable NCQ automatically. Last time I enabled NCQ on my Maxtor drive, I couldn't boot into Windows and I had to reformat my entire drive and reinstall everything. So if anyone has a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 drive that isn't their primary drive...

I am using an Audigy 2 ZS. The only problem I have had, is sometimes when I am syncing my iPod using the Audigy 2 ZS firewire port, I get a BSU. And I never have that problem when I sync my iPod using the motherboard firewire ports. Other than that, I haven't had any problems.

So is anyone having any issues while using the Zalman chipset heat sink?

Kingston HyperX PC3200 (512 x 2) at stock timings (2-3-2-6-1T) works great on my A8N-SLI. I haven't done any overclocking. Here is a link to the ram.

Shawn, I had the exact same problem, except my Maxtor was my primary drive. So after I enabled NCQ in windows, I couldn't ever get back into windows. I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows. Lets keep this thread going so when Maxtor or Asus comes up with a fix we will know...

When I enable q-fan it only slows my chassis fan and CPU fan, and not my chipset fan. I don't think it is supposed to slow the chipset fan. And my values for the CPU fan were also all over the place like yours, so I wouldn't worry about that. When I had it enabled my CPU reached 51 degrees...

Incredibly happy owner here. I bought this board knowing there would be some issues because it is cutting edge technology (SLI, SATA II, NCQ). Bt as more bios revisions come out and drivers mature I am sure those that are having trouble will have their issues solved. I have never had a...

I think you may be right. I have this same card (I am not running SLI, but I am worried that it might not work in SLI mode). I took a closer look at the box and noticed that no where do thay have an Nvidia SLI logo on the box, it just says PCIE. So I think you are right, they didn't get SLI...

********Do not enable command queing if you have a SATA Maxtor DiamondMax 10********** I thought I would warn everyone because I just had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows because I tried to enable command queing on my DiamondMax10. Aftern enabling it and rebooting, I was never...

govern1, I stupidly thought I would try to enable command queing on my DiamondMax 10 drive, and now I can't even get into windows to disable it. Everytime my computer tries to load windows it says "lsass.exe - System Error, Object Name not found". This even comes up when I try to get in...

I just want to put in a good work for the Asus. I got mine almost 2 weeks ago and have had absolutely no problems and performance has been great. I am not one to run out and run tons of benchmarks and I am not doing any overclocking, but the performance has been top notch. This board was the...

I am using an OCZ ModStream 450 watt PSU, and it works great with my A8N-SLI. I highly recommend it.
