    Asus A8N Sli-Deluxe

    WINCHESTER AT 1.6V!!! [Edit] Ok, so my caps weren't as warranted as I thought. Initially I set the voltage in bios to 1.5875 and CPU-Z was flicking between 1.586 and 1.600, the first time i've seen it ever say 1.6V. However when I tried 1.600V in the BIOS, CPU-Z now reads 1.56 -> 1.58...

    ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe.......Is It Impossible To Fix The Ram Issue? ```><````

    I've tried over and over again to talk to ASUS about this, but they refuse point blank to comment on it officially. The email I got from Wesley Fink about it appeared promising, and they said they'd have it fixed in 1007, which technically (after more than a month of waiting) still isn't out...

    No current bios allows for more than 1.55vcore on A8N SLI or MSI!

    Perhaps they fact they reintroduced 1.55 -> 1.65V in the 1007.004 BIOS is a good sign, but to be fair, nothing radical has happened since the 1002 BIOS.

    A8N-SLI, SANDRA stating 2T CMD

    I wouldn't worry about it, I've never seen Sandra say 1CMD and I've got the same memory as you. The best way to double check is run the memory benchmark with the BIOS set to 2T, and it should be 700MB/sec lower. From the look of your score, that appears to be about right, but perhaps a little...

    1007.04 Asus A8n Sli-Deluxe Bios

    1.5V -> 1.65V don't work on my Winchester, so guess they won't on anyone elses. (They provide ~1.56V) It failed super-pi and very relaxed settings: RAM, 252mhz @ 3-4-4-10, 2.95V, 1T CPU, 252 x 9 = 2268 @ 1.56V (maximum for the board) So, the CPU isn't the issue, because I've had it...

    1007.04 Asus A8n Sli-Deluxe Bios

    After remembering to relax my memory timings, Super-Pi works at 9 x 251.2, 1T... anyone want to take bets on it failling at 252? :) [30 seconds later...] It failed... 1T issue not fixed.

    1007.04 Asus A8n Sli-Deluxe Bios

    Heh, i just spotted this too and came to shout about it. I'll flash now. EDIT: Wow, this looks almost like a mini-revolution on the BIOS front. Completely different RAM settings, no added features, just laid out differently. CPU settings are also laid out differently, and.... 1.5 -> 1.65V...

    Has Asus just given up on further BIOS development on the A8N-SLI?

    A month is a long time. I did email ASUS the other day, as follows: \/\/\/ MY EMAIL \/\/\/ Hi again, After continuing to be frustrated with ASUS not acknowledging any kind of "running RAM over 250mhz at 1T Command Rate" issue, I thought I would contact someone else. I spoke to someone...

    NEW A8N-SLI (Non-Deluxe!) BETA BIOS 1003s.002 + NEW NF4 6.53 drivers

    Asus A8N-SLI & Onboard Sound & 5.1 Center/Sub Speakers Issues

    Centre speakers on 5.1 surround sound setups will only work when what you are playing is a surround sound source. With MP3s et al, the "LEFT" channel will go to the left hand speakers, and the RIGHT to the right. What would expect to go to the centre... left or right? The answer is neither...

    New Bios A8N-SLI Deluxe 1007-003

    The magic BIOS as you put it is supposed to be 1007, and although the email I got from ASUS through Wesley said "this week" (referring to last week) I would say that the final version of 1007 is the one we look at. If it isn't fixed there, then I would assume they weren't able to fix it.

    New Bios A8N-SLI Deluxe 1007-003

    For the first time since a new A8N BIOS comes out I'm not even going to bother trying. The only issue I have with the board now is the 1T issue now that the Maxtor Diamonmax 10s are good. Just propped my PC up by the window to suck in cool air, and I'm up to 241 * 11 = 2651 at 1T 2-3-3-5...

    Asus A8n-sli bios (not deluxe version) - still V1001???

    I've read lots of people have flashed to the deluxe 1006 on the basic boards with no problems at all. Hardwareanalysis.com has a huge FAQ where people have done it with no problems, and there was also an ASUS email hanging around confirming they have now unified development of the BIOS.

    ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe 1T Issue To Be Fixed Soon!!?

    Well, the email said it would be fixed in the 1007 BIOS, which has still yet to appear. It has been almost a week now since the 1007.002 and all I can hope is that the 002 fixed some non related 1T issues, and now this is what they are working on. If it proves 1007 does not fix the issue...

    Overclocking Athlon64 3500+ on ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe MB

    I have a 90nm 3500 on the A8N SLI Deluxe combined with a Zalman 7700CU and it overclocks roughly like this. 1.4V - 2.45ghz 1.45V - 2.5ghz 1.475V - 2.55ghz 1.5V - 2.6ghz and I've not tried beyond 1.5V, but it can go as far as 1.55V if i recall right. I can get total stability at those...

    A8N-SLI BIOS sent to me by Asus

    I'm almost convinced this has fixed the Maxtor Diamondmax 10 issue. I was doing some rather extreme 2T overclocking last night, and kept killing my machine, and that is normally when the drives disappear. Everything stayed solid, system reboots, all drives appear and I boot as per normal...

    A8N-SLI BIOS sent to me by Asus

    Even though that BIOS is now widely available from the German and Taiwan FTP there is one big of good news in there. This is the BIOS that includes the updated SATA Boot ROM I was promised in an email to ASUS about two weeks ago. This was in response to my magically disappearing 300gb...

    ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe 1T Issue To Be Fixed Soon!!?

    I have to say that sounds unlikely, what frequency and multiplier are you using to get that? You may not have set DDR400 in the BIOS which forces a 1:1 setting on the memory.

    ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe 1T Issue To Be Fixed Soon!!?

    Hey all, After reading the great Anandtech SLI Roundup and seeing Wesley too had problems with overclocking at 1T I asked if he might be able to get a reply from ASUS on the issue. Here's what Wesley sent back: I think that speaks for itself. :) ajmiles

    Whitewolf: He is quoting a thread from the Xtemesystems.org forums. It was Major Slaughter that got 282mhz rather than Framelord himself. I was the one that replied to Major Slaughter clarifying that he was infact at 1T. I will try overclocking with just 1 x 512MB RAM today to see how it goes...

    Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe Beta 1005-05 released

    Yup, that was me! :). I've been keeping an eye on the Xtremesystems forums for a while now and there have been some nice A8N discussions, but none that promised anything over 250mhz. Am I to assume that everyone that can't get over 250mhz has been using 2 x 512 megs of RAM? I may try...

    Asus A8N SLI Deluxe - 1005.005 Released

    Overclocked to 247 at 1T, and SuperPi does not calculate correctly, error in round. This means the 250 @ 1T issue is definitely not resolved. With every new revision that goes by I get less and less hopeful that Taiwan are (or even can) work on this issue.

    I wouldn't hold you breath, I've had the 1005.001 drop one of my Maxtor Diamondmax10s just last night. I've currently got the 1005.003 installed. *Apparently* there will be a final version of 1005 released tonight or tomorrow which will fix a host of issues, but this is just a rumour.
