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

    I've been using two 1GB sticks of PQI brand RAM for over a month with no problem...looks and feels sturdy ... perhaps a good alternative between corsair and kingston...? (pqi TURBO Series Dual Channel Platinum Kit 184-Pin 2GB(1GB x 2) DDR PC-3200) Now I gotta find out how to tweak the settings...

    I have PQI PC3200 dual in my A8N and the 7700Cu fits...lots of wires all over the place and there is a lot of stuff that has to be connetced before you put the fan in, but it fits nicely. Doesn't touch the vide card!

    I've played with the AI settings in the BIOS but I don't feel comfortable with viewing the consequences in windows-based programs while everything is up and running...what else can I use to monitor the system OC when running XP? Thanks!

    Monarch Computer

    Waited for backordered parts from NewEgg so long I looked elsewhere, found Monarch...they had the parts and had them cheaper! The only bad thing is they don't ship 24/7...ordered midday on a Friday and they shipped Monday :-(

    Great news, the nForce4 6.39 installed and runs fine, BUT I did have problems and followed the guidance here. First, NVIDIA ForceWare Network Access Manager told me that the "installed version is not the same as the current setup," so I uninstalled the NVIDIA Netowrk Manager from Add/Remove...

    I have three fans and not sure which ones are being read by "Asus PC Probe." The Zalman CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan plug at the top of my A8N. Chaning the fan speed with the little extra attachment doesn't change any speeds. Which fan is the chipset and which one is the chassis fan...
