I'd look, but hey, apparently there is a HSF on it. WTF? :)

Mine's rev 1.02 too

I think that it should be, yeah. How many A do you have on your 12V rail?

Welcome to the forums :) No, I'm not using a converter, I just plugged the connector in shifted all the way to the right. I am only running a modest setup in terms of power requirements, so your mileage may vary. The converter should not be necessary though.

Yup, getting the same message iin nTune too, but I prefer doing these things by hand anyway. One issue though: sometime when I start up (mainly reboots), I get the "System failed due to CPU overclocking" voice error. I just reset again, and it boots up fine. Everything is stable. I wonder how I...

Mmm...you should be able to squeeze out some more performance I would think, your memory is way better than mine and you have a 10x multiplier to work with. Is that the highest FSB you can achieve? Did you raise the voltages? I am currently running at 265 MHz FSB, and no problems at all. I could...

3DMark doesn't change much with CPU overclocking. The GFX card makes the big difference here. I just went with CoolBits and the clockrate that it suggested. Piece of cake :)

My system scores 3573 in 3dmark05 in its current state. I guess the tuning paid off ;)

I went throught overclocking my system yesterday, and have been running various stress tests all night and today. I seem to have my A64 3000+ Winchester (stock 1.8 GHz) running at 2.4 GHz on the stock cooler in my Sonata. My Chaintech 6600GT is running at 582/1.17. Those overclocks were pretty...

chexi, what else do you have in your system? i tried the link in your sig, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I have my A8N-SLI running since Monday, and it seems to be running stable. I had some issues with crashes at first, but that was due to a faulty Ethernet driver. I updated it, and haven't had the problem come back. Since PSUs seem to be the topic of the day, you should know that I run this on...

Yes, confirmed. Just got done installing XP minutes ago to a SATA Raptor. No problems, no floppy drive installed. Awesome! Thanks for confirming that, SkyBum. Getting my board tomorrow, looks like I have everything ready then. :)

Well, I will assume that it doesn't need a driver floppy. Can anybody with an A8N-SLI confirm this?

I wasn't really asking about the issues that this reviewer had, I'd just like to know whether I can install WinXP onto an SATA drive WITHOUT using a SATA driver floppy during setup.

SkyBum, can you confirm that I don't need a SATA driver floppy for installing WinXP onto an SATA drive? (I am assuming that you will go throught setup soon :)
