    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    The adjustment pots are really hard to get to on the PC P&C power supply. In most cases impossible to get to when installed. Even outside the case it usually requires that the power supply cover be removed. Seems that the pots and the access holes don't line up very well, and I wouldn't...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    I'm not trying to argue about this or say that I'm better than anyone. Not trying to lecture either. Just telling those that care to read this forum my personal experiences with a couple components people are saying that are known not to work. I have tried some components that do not work...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    I have been reading where some of you are having problems with the Plextor PX-716 with the A8N-SLI. I have been using the PX-716 (look at my sig) since I built my system over the Xmas holidays with 0 (zero) problems. Works flawlesly. Worked great with the original driver installed (don't...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    Thought I would put my 2 cents in here. I am a happy user of an A8N-SLI Deluxe v1.02. I had some problems with my system initially, but any problems I had were from mistakes I made. Some mistakes were obvious and some much more subtle. My system is rock solid and OC'd to the max. I use if...

    IS there any happy A8N-SLI owner?

    I'm a happy A8N-SLI owner!! Had a couple problems initially with video boards not working properly in SLI mode. Found out that although video boards may have a SLI connector on the top edge, this doesn't necessarily make it operate in SLI properly. Switched to certified SLI compatible...

    Cronic, I don't think even a custom WB would work on the A8N chipset. There just isn't much room!! It may be possible to squeeze one in, I'm just not going to bother unless the chipset fan goes belly-up. All I remember about the video WB is that is a SwifTech model, don't remember the...

    Cronic, You mentioned that you are going to watercool the chipset. I don't think it can be done, not enough room. I have my system watercooled, looked at doing the chipset and didn't think it was possible!! If you do it let me know how you did it!! I have all my systems (3 of them) pelted...

    http://www.gamepc.com/labs/vie...ent.asp?id=a8nsli&page This is an interesting article! It seems to detail most of the problems listed on this forum. I'm surprised that these problems havn't been fixed yet, especially since this article was written on 12/21/2004!

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    After going through a lot of different forums regarding the A8V-SLI MB it looks like most of the people with problems are having problems when trying to use 2 video cards. As for myself, my system runs great as long as I don't enable SLI. Enabling SLI starts causing me problems - and I am...

    I tried to install them but for some reason I couldn't get them to install. I forgot what error message I kept getting. Finally I gave up on them.

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    I find it strange that some people can have such good luck and others have nothing but problems. I'm beginning to wonder if there are boards out there with different components. It's also possible that those with good luck are doing something drastically different than most. One item that...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    I've about had it with Asus and this A8N-SLI board. Asus tech service is about useless. I have a case number with Asus, they keep telling me that they will return my call about this case within 24 hours, it has been 2 weeks now and still no call from them. I call everyday, and all I get from...

    Probably soon as the 1004 finals come out there will be a 1005 Beta. I started a Asus trouble ticket today about Bios hanging on a cold reboot. They said they have never heard of this type of problem before!! I see posts all over the place about this exact same problem!

    New official bios release for A8N-SLI

    Your probably right, but when I use the Asus Update tool it tells me there are 2 releases 1 release is the Beta and the other release is a release, same numbers though. Doesn't matter to me, I would have installed it anyway.
